The pinned ipfs/go-ipfs:v0.10.0 image has a private-network (pnet) connection bug where swarm connections drop immediately after handshake, so org IPFS nodes never peer with each other. This causes "failed to bootstrap (no peers found)" and shared storage downloads to time out fetching content pinned only on another member's node.

Bump to ipfs/kubo:v0.42.0, and since modern Kubo refuses to start (or never peers) in private-network mode with its default AutoConf/public bootstrap config, add a container-init.d script that disables it for private-mode stacks.
