Suggest a directory for the compose file in the documentation

Support guidelines

• I've read the support guidelines
• My request is not listed as a very good idea, but unfortunately...
• I've used the search and this has not been requested before.

Description

Please provide a suggested directory to save the docker compose file(s) into, because the name of the directory becomes part of the docker container name. The name might be used in scripts like the script that is recommend in the backup page.

Different docker container names makes confusion like here and here

Solution

Edit the docs. Provide an example path for the docker compose file(s) so that it is assumed to be the default and consistent path between different installations. I personally suggest: ~/docker/firefly-iii

What are alternatives?

Use the container_name key in the docker compose file (reference)

Nah I don't think so. I think people are smart enough to think about this themselves.

[WaleedMortaja]

I still think it would be a good idea to suggest a path, or use container_name. However, I respect your opinion too.

[JC5]

Not a bad idea, I missed that one. Check out the Docker file, what do you think?

[WaleedMortaja]

It works as expected. Container names should be consistent now.
Thanks.
