## What I want to do

Using community edition, I want to start zero, alpha and ratel

## What I did

Here’s a part of my docker compose I am using

```auto
  dgraph-zero:
    image: dgraph/dgraph:latest
    volumes:
      - dgraph-data:/dgraph
    ports:
      - 5080:5080
      - 6080:6080
    networks:
      - aether_network
    restart: on-failure
    command: dgraph zero --my=zero:5080
  dgraph-alpha:
    image: dgraph/dgraph:latest
    volumes:
      - dgraph-data:/dgraph
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
      - 9080:9080
    networks:
      - aether_network
    restart: on-failure
    command: dgraph alpha --my=alpha:7080 --zero=zero:5080
  dgraph-ratel:
    image: dgraph/ratel:latest
    ports:
      - 8000:8000
    networks:
      - aether_network
networks:
  aether_network:

```
