You can install these extensions in your container, but your application will then stay on its current version. An added extension is installed in a folder that the container recreates at every update. As soon as we detect it, we suspend automatic updates so that it is not erased, and any operation that would recreate the container (new version, domain change, migration) waits for your confirmation. To keep your extensions and follow new versions, there are two solutions:
VPS Docker
A server of your own, where you deploy and manage the application yourself, with root access.
