[restored-from: slopsmith/slopsmith#120]
I spent a lot of time making PRs to fix things that wanted to write to areas that are intended to be static and read-only in a .AppImage. People iterating on slopsmith and plugins were not aware this was a problem. To eliminate this entire class of bug, Docker instructions should mount code and static assets via a read-only volume mount so everyone sees the problem when the code is written.
