We ingest the community edition from the Arch repos.
Though we have other AUR containers like Citron, you could just swap out the citron for this https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pycharm
https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-citron/blob/master/Dockerfile
And test building it, but in general I am always cautious about putting any software that is behind a key or paywall. You get into weird legal gray areas, and while in this case it would likely not be an issue it is just kind of a general rule. We want open source first and foremost, than you have hopefully non malicious Linux freeware packaged by trusted names, at the bottom of that list is paywalled stuff.
