I agree that this is the most pragmatic approach.

*If* we were to restore it now, it looks like 0.11 branch comes with
an upstream Dockerfile [1]; there's lots of examples now in
system-config of similar container-based production sites and this
could fit in.

This makes it significantly easier than trying to build up everything
it requires from scratch, and if upstream keep their container
compatible (a big if...) theoretically less work to keep updated.

But despite the self-hosting story being better in 2020, I agree the
ROI isn't there.
