📖 Advanced docker-compose usage

Changing the container names​

Follow the normal instructions as per your chosen build, but after updating the .env file to choose your container names, run

make rename

Then you can resume following the normal instructions.

Redis password​

If the user wishes to re-use an existing instance of Redis that has password authentication, that user can set the Redis password in the backend by adding a new environment variable in the docker-compose file:

    environment:
        - REDIS_PASS=${password}
