Description
I'd like to request a possibility of using AltStore as a docker image.
Why a docker image?
Well just imagine that you install this image on your server or NAS and then, when you plan to travel for more than a week (and you don't have a laptop with you), all you have to do is to connect to your home network via VPN so that both devices are on the same network and all of the AltStore apps could get auto-refreshed :)
We could use the docker environment variables to store the AppleID username/password/app-password for the ease of configurability.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the AltStore project structure and its existing build or distribution entry points to determine whether a server-side Docker image is feasible. The issue specifies Docker environment variables for Apple ID credentials and automatic app refreshing, but names no files, tests, or implementation boundary; done criteria would need to be agreed before work begins.
