Use GitLab CI to deploy app with ftp - angularjs

Question

I'm currently working on a little Angular Web project. And I found this great tool named Gitlab CI.
I read the docs and setup a node docker to build the webapp. Then I want to upload the builded app with ftp to my server. And this is where my trouble starts.
First here ist my gitlab-ci.yml
image: node:7.5.0
cache:
key: "$CI_BUILD_REF_NAME"
untracked: true
paths:
- node_modules/
- dist/
stages:
- build
# - test
- deploy
- cleanup
# - deployProd
runBuild:
before_script:
- npm install -g angular-cli
- npm install
stage: build
script:
- ng build --target=production --environment=test
except:
- tags
runProdBuild:
before_script:
- npm install -g angular-cli
- npm install
stage: build
script:
- ng build --target=production --environment=prod
only:

runDeployTest:
before_script:
- apt-get install ftp

So it works fine until I want to install ftp to the docker image.
My question is now: Is it possible to install ftp to the image?
Or is there a other way to handle things like this? I can't use ssh because there is no ssh access to the webspace.

Answer 1

I got a solution. As suggested I tried to create a own docker image. There I noticed that I can't install lftp too. So at creating an docker image you have to run apt-get update first.
So I tried this inside my script, and it worked.
So you need to run apt-get update first, then install any package you want.

Answer 2

Use lftp instead of ftp
runDeployProd:
before_script:
- apt-get install lftp
