+# NOTE - April 2020
+# this whole lot won't work well with ubuntu containers any longer
+# tried with webprivacy on bionic, and
+# (*) the initial populating phase somehow spawned a question screen
+#     something about asking questions during upgrades..
+#     so I had to turn off the redirection into ~/machines/<container>.log
+# (*) more badly, the resulting container does not start its network upon boot
+#     everything is in place and it could be started manually
+#     like for the record e.g.
+#         ip link set dev eth0 up
+#         ip address add 138.96.119.13/21 dev eth0
+#         ip route add default dev eth0 via 138.96.112.250
+#         ping -c 1 8.8.8.8
+# trying to solve that last issue by apt-get install'ing network-manager
+# (which was missing indeed) was not enough
+# a bit more work seems to be needed if that became needed
