Internet.nl (test tool for modern internet standards) now as Docker container (internet.nl)

Up until now, setting up Internet.nl was challenging and cumbersome. Many times this annoyed ourselves, and also hindered others who wanted to use and contribute to the Internet.nl codebase. Over the last months, the Internet.nl code has been carefully assembled into a 'ready-to-go' software package, i.e. a Docker container.

The test tool Internet.nl is an initiative of the Dutch Internet Standards Platform which is a collaboration of partners from the Internet community and the Dutch government. The aim of the platform is to jointly increase the use of modern Internet standards to make the Internet more accessible, safer and more reliable for everyone. The software code of Internet.nl is available under an open source license.

It sounds 'late' to make it a docker container, but actually getting the IPv6 testing working with docker was challenging, only recently some IPv6 issues got solved, and the project needs the experimental and ip6tables docker flags to run.
