• Once you're logged in, expand thecourseforum tab on the left
• Export the thecourseforum_development and thecourseforum_production databases
• Place these .sql files within this ./sql/ directory
• If you want to use the copy of the production database for development, run cp sql/thecourseforum_production.sql sql/thecourseforum_development.sql
• docker-compose up This might take a few minutes...
• The server will be listening on localhost:3000 (Note: if you are using docker toolkit, you might have get the ip address of the docker vm using 'docker-machine ip' and replacing localhost with that address)
• Once it finishes, you are ready to develop! :)

docker-compose up It's that easy :-)
