So I've spent the weekend working on my SKS Docker image build... The repo
is available at https://github.com/UGNS/sks-docker and the image itself is
available at https://hub.docker.com/r/jtbouse/sks

I'd welcome some further sets of eyes on it. I've ran several tests against
it all weekend with keydumps from https://mirror.cyberbits.eu/sks/dump/ and
https://sks.pod02.fleetstreetops.com/dump/2020-10-15/ after I had some
initial Seg Fault issues during the key import step. I've got a couple
patches applied based on works I was able to pull together from various
sources in an attempt to clean up the build and harden the deployment.

Next step is to work on my Terraform deployment now that I have the image
rebuilt and seemingly working without issues. Once I get it up and running
I'll be looking to find some peers again.
