trouble with initial setup

[olets]

I'm having some trouble that might be related to what ports are available, but it also looks like part of the install (a composer command) might be buggy. I'd be happy for any help debugging. Thanks!

I followed the README, and when I first ran docker-compose up -build I got

…lots of install logs, every looks okay…
…just the occasional "can't be created because it already exists," then…
…
Build complete.
Don't forget to run 'make test'.

I ran up -build again, and this time got

I found 443:443 in docker-compose.yml, and tried changing it to 3001:3001, and ran docker-compose up --build:

Great! Visited http://dev.vanilla.localhost/ and in the browser got

Could not find the autoloader. Did you forget to run 'composer install' in '/srv/vanilla-repositories/vanilla' ? 

I tried https://dev.vanilla.localhost:9443 and saw the same thing.

After a few tries at shutting down and starting up the docker, I finally reverted the port config back to use 443:443. Just for kicks, I tried starting up the docker again. This time I got that same good looking result, no EADDRINUSE error. But http://dev.vanilla.localhost/ still gives me the notice about composer install. And now https://dev.vanilla.localhost:9443 shows

Multiple things here:

• docker-compose up --build is the proper command to run. (Maybe a typo)
• Skipping the first error since you got past it, the problem is probably because you have httpd installed as a service on your local machine and it is launched at start up. You can double check that using ps aux | grep httpd or sudo launchctl list | grep httpd (to check if httpd is running). So to "fix" that error you just have to make sure that the service taking the port 80 is not launched when you start your computer.
• If you want to use different ports you have to do the mapping like so:

    nginx:
        ...
        ports:
            - "{ALTERNATE_PORT_80}:80"
            - "{ALTERNATE_PORT_8080}:8080"
            - "{ALTERNATE_PORT_443}:443"

This will map port from your local machine to the port inside the docker container.
Then you can do http://dev.vanilla.localhost:{ALTERNATE_PORT_80}/ to access vanilla.

• As for Could not find the autoloader. Did you forget to run 'composer install' in '/srv/vanilla-repositories/vanilla' ? That error means that you didn't run composer install inside your vanilla repository.

Yes, the -build was a typo in my writeup. I did figure out the composer install thing (I was tripped up by the error's /srv/vanilla-repositories/ for a while).

I ended up getting as far as the Vanilla installer, and the installer couldn't find the db.

The project I was doing this for has gone in a different direction, and I'm not sure when I'll come back to debugging the db problem :) But I'll open a PR to fill in some gaps in the Readme. Thanks for the help!
