For those interested I've setup another docker image here on [[github|https://github.com/dgsb/docker-ikiwiki]] and here on [[docker hub|https://hub.docker.com/r/dgsb/ikiwiki/]]. It has the advantage of not being sandboxed and using a local repository through a volume to setup the content of the wiki.
