We also favor "real" ips and adressing instead or --link for the same reasons

same here to avoid cloning the whole history

nice one!

you have more cleanups than ours

this one we missed, nice catch!

I am in the process of setting up a new dockerhub account to work on
merging improvements, would you mind proposing pull requests to the
repository (as soon as it is ready) so that we can then do a PR
somewhere on OCA with the result?
