Could you merge both patch #1 and patch #2?  Usually doc is added in the
same commit as the thing being documented.

Maybe “The smart hacker will put” -> “You would typically run”

Let’s forget about ‘/container’ for now if it doesn’t work yet.

Perhaps we can have a minimal system test to make sure the thing is
running and listening on the right port?  There are tests for
full-fledged SSH servers in (gnu tests ssh) that could serve as
inspiration.

Could you send a (hopefully) last version with these changes?

Thanks in advance,
Ludo’.
