I mean the advantage of having a DNS record that point to the correct public IPv4 address over a VPN IPv4 is that everyone is able to send you crashmail without installing Zeronet.

I have not much experience with docker. There are a couple of containers, but I haven't tested any of them and cannot give a recommendation. I started to play with podman on my IPv6-only VPS, but then was discouraged when it turned out that most of the docker hubs / container repos where IPv4-only (and I already had working LXC containers). I've solved the IPv4 connectivity problem later, so maybe I will try again (running Tor in a docker container) and report back.

Most likely nobody would use it :).

Yes, nothing needed on your side. The only problem with all these methods is that they rely on support for a socks5 proxy or execution of an external program instead of making a network connection. Works with binkd and qico, but not sure how easy or complicated it is to make this work with i.e. Mystic. But then Zeronet might be the easier option.
