ifconfig isn’t installed on all systems, particularly not newer ones by default.
The `discourse_docker` `launcher.sh` script relies on the presence of ifconfig on the host system.
My PR at [Adds a docker\_ip pipeline for /sbin/ip by lukegb · Pull Request #92 · discourse/discourse\_docker · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker/pull/92) allows the use of `/sbin/ip` instead.
