Maybe we can diff that?

It seems to be fine with the 'auto' sub domain maybe because the keys
are registered for that domain name. Are you saying that those keys are
pre-installed on the image? If that's the case, I think we should make
two versions, that are based on the same source - an include or
something. One to be used on Devuan, one to be used by other distros
that want to run Devuan containers.

Yes, I really like that. It is very useful.

wget or maybe curl? What's on a base install?

I've made an account on git.devuan.org (user: smwltr) How do you want to
do this? Shall I fork your repo and apply a patch and then send you a
pull request? After a look maybe the solution will present itself. I
guess the .conf files too.

Let see how it goes.
