This is definitely the best way to go - for now I've gone the bundle route,
but having to wait nearly 5 minutes to get a 2-pages sites to format on
gitlab-ci, mostly for "bundle install" is just insane.  A bullseye docker
image with the proper packages will be much better, I won't need any
buster backports myself.

The minima theme is OK for me, but as an asciidoc junky I feel the lack
of jekyll-asciidoc.

Oh, and https://ydirson.gitlab.io/the-floss-cook/ went live yesterday,
looking forward to switching from bundler to bullseye :)

Thanks for your work!
