Similar to [[todo/dockerized_external_special_remotes]], you could support dockerized external backends. You could run a docker container with [networking disabled](https://docs.docker.com/network/none/) and with file access only to the to-be-annexed file(s), through a [read-only volume](https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/#use-a-read-only-volume). You could also require the docker image to be [signed](https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/trust/content_trust/) by someone you trust. Then git-annex repos with external-backend keys could still be self-contained.
