Quick note

If have two docker compose files in the same directory, one test, one dev. Add a -p “project” flag to when calling docker compose up or you can get project collisions.

docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml -p dgraph-dev up -d

and

docker-compose -f docker-compose.test.yml -p dgraph-test up -d
