Basics

• Shared projects folder should be located at home/$USER/Projects else you have to edit docker-compose.yml to set your projects path within the nginx section.
• Use dmesg | docker inspect nginx | egrep '"IPAddress": "172\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,2}\.[0-9]"' to get your docker ip address and then add it to your hosts.
• A home/$USER/Projects/html folder is needed in order php-app to start correnctly.
• If you want to avoid typing sudo whenever you run the docker command, add your username to the docker group: sudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}.

Hosts

• On Linux/Mac sudo vim /etc/hosts
• If you are on Windows, you can find instructions for altering your hosts file here.
• On Linux use sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144 to give to the elastic search container enought memory to start. To make this change permanent you have to add vm.max_map_count=262144 to your /etc/sysctl.conf as root.

Your hosts file on Linux should look like this

#<ip-address>	<hostname.domain.org>	<hostname>
0.0.0.0		localhost.localdomain	localhost
10.5.0.4      example.com
10.5.0.5      example.com
10.5.0.6      example.com
10.5.0.7      example.com
::1		localhost.localdomain	localhost
