Answer to the above problem:
I just came to know (mostly be chance/experiment) that you cannot `bootstrap` the `data` container. You HAVE TO rebuild the ‘data’ container.
And also, you first need to stop ‘web\_only’ container. In other words, ‘Web\_only’ container needs to be built after your ‘Data’ container is built and is running.
Only then, and in this order only, will you succeed.

Right. The point of the two-container setup is that you can build a new web container while it and the existing web container access the database.
But you still can’t have two containers accessing the database at the same time (that’s why the single container setup does a rebuild). I have some notes here: [Managing a Two-Container Installation - Documentation - Literate Computing Support](https://support.literatecomputing.com/t/managing-a-two-container-installation/310)
