Dockerized LSI Storage Authority

LSI Storage Authority (LSA) is the successor to MegaRaid Storage Manager (MSM) for managing MegaRAID cards from inside the OS. LSA improves on MSM by including a web server instead of the old MSM java client that was run locally. LSA features both local and remote server management from one interface.
