So I took over a new position at a company, and we had been using Discourse - then moved to AnswerHub (🤷‍♂️) and I am probably going to move us back to Discourse.

I have used discourse before - but this install wasn’t really managed and no one knows what/how to access what’s currently running, and I need to get logged in and start Admin’ing it (it’s been set to Read Only).

I am trying to figure out where it’s being run on the box - I am not good with Docker but I have these instances:

```
   $ sudo docker images
   REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED VIRTUAL SIZE
   local_discourse/app latest --------------- 11 months ago 2.366 GB
   discourse/discourse 1.3.10 --------------- 11 months ago 1.539 GB
   discourse/discourse 1.3.5 --------------- 18 months ago 1.501 GB

```

What’s the easiest way to get in here and get access to the Admin?

Edit: I was able to enter the docker image (app) so that’s a start
