Run the Docker Compose command:
docker-compose -f ~/docker/docker-compose.yml up -dReplace
~/docker/docker-compose.ymlwith the path to yourdocker-compose.ymlfile.
If you run into any issues with a specific container, copy the container name and google it for container-specific configuration FAQ's. If there is an issue with my configuration or instructions please let me know and I will update them.
