Apparently some newer docker versions crash if there is no "repository"
file in the resulting image. Its syntax seems simple enough, described
in https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/master/image/spec/v1.md

If mkdocs is running in parallel, it can get upset if one of these
files exists when it lists the directory, but doesn't exist when it
goes to generate the output. Fundamentally this is a problem in mkdocs
more than in our code, but we might as well avoid it.
These are often a good idea, but not necessary here and are distracting
to the tutorial, so let's just take them out.

demonstration of getting redo to do complicated things elegantly. At
least, I hope it is.
