I understand the current Docker image has been conceived as a portable installation tool, so every setup is up-to-date, but this choice makes the image kinda useless for those who live behind corporate proxies/firewalls.

Please consider releasing a ready-to-use image (post-install) where particular settings can be provided at run time (actually this is how most images are usually set).

I think your best bet is to put the server in a VLAN where it can accept and make connections to the corporate net, and only make connections to outside.

This is required for, e.g. embedding Wikipedia and checking image sizes.

`docker save` + `docker load` from a DMZ doesn’t actually help enough here, because the migrations need read/write access to the database.
