That's the list I didn't have acces to. Sam's is right :-)

OK, good.

Any container we make. I was planning to more or less put the expo
server into a container, but I'm a chroot and VM man, so have never
really used containers. Why is it better not to put all the services
in one bucket? Feel free to point me at a reference.

Having read https://wiki.debian.org/Cloud I was planning to use the
debian standard FAI to make maintainable container images. The more obvious
option is docker, but AIUI that makes snapshot images that would keep
needing updates (or become insecure).
I'll have a go with this stuff over the w/e next week. 

You can presumably send me a docker script that should make the right
thing already? Or even a built image to test?

I'll need some way to get at the expo machine/disk/data early next
week. Can you (Sam) make a copy of the VM available somewhere I can see, or
bring it to the pub on a drive?
