New description:

 Seems like people are interested in docker images of Tor relays, or onion
 services (or even bridgedb). We should consider providing docker images
 for the people who want to use them.

 Here is a recent attempt by Alessandro Fiori:
 https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2019-March/013756.html

 and there have been previous attempts as well here:
 https://blog.jessfraz.com/post/running-a-tor-relay-with-docker/ (tor
 relay)

 Also see this page for an organized version of infrastructure related
 projects:
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/community/relay_infrastructure

 https://www.andreafortuna.org/2018/11/05/easily-setup-a-onion-service-
 using-docker/
 https://0day.work/dockerized-tor-onion-services-with-vanity-v3-tor-
 addresses/ (onion services)

 We should figure out how to make these unofficial attempt useful to other
 people by legitimizing them and offering them to people in a useful way.
