 Here is some feedback we got from an operator:

 * Make it easier to get the bridge's fingerprint and/or bridge line. At
 the moment, users have to spawn a shell in the container, which is
 tedious.
 * Maybe provide a docker-compose file.
 * Improve our [https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/bridge/docker/
 official setup instructions]. [https://dip.torproject.org/torproject/anti-
 censorship/docker-obfs4-bridge These instructions] were more helpful to an
 operator.
 * Add a note that operators can run `docker logs <container>` to check if
 it's up and running.
 * Mention concerns regarding permanence: Ideally, a container should run
 as long as possible.
 * Allow running a bridge on a port <1024 (as per mrphs's request in
 comment:2).
