Thank you.

Then the natural next question is, “how do I make it use the host’s pg & redis”.

I know I can make pg and redis listen on the docker0 interface, but I’m also guessing there must be some kind of way to configure the discourse container to use this docker0 ip addr as the pg & redis ip.

I’m having a hard time finding “that one place” for all documentation.  
Maybe I should start a new topic? And where?
