I was in the `/var/discourse` directory, yet I was also not prompted for any settings besides the password. I had just run `./discourse-setup` after a fresh clone of the docker git repo. I was following [this guide](https://meta.discourse.org/t/running-other-websites-on-the-same-machine-as-discourse/17247/32) and had created `containers/app.yml` with the suggested contents, but that didn’t help. My solution was to comment out the `check_port` lines in the `discourse-setup` script… /shrug

_Edit:_ still hitting some issues with the port stuff…
