If you need to connect into

The content is approximately the same as the back project source code directory

Logs

docker logs webdb --follow

Defaults parameters

Listen

Both methods (standalone and compose) make WebDB container listen on localhost (so other persons on the same network cannot connect to your container) and on 22071 port

Name

The name webdb is used on both method to identify the container by a unique name.

It's useful to them connect into or gettings logs without looking for through list

Volume

The $HOME/.webdb is use to store database version (aka Time Machine) so if you update the Docker container, you will keep versions

--add-host="host.docker.internal:host-gateway"

This parameter is standalone specific. It extends the container all host docker networks, so you can see docker-container's DBMS for exemple
