Important troubleshooting tips for Docker

(sudo) docker ps -a   |  Show all containers and their status, look for any that may be down
(sudo) docker restart/start/stop CONTAINER_NAME   |  Reboot the container or shut it down
(sudo) docker logs CONTAINER_NAME or ID  | Use your actual container name or container ID with this command to look at its logs
(sudo) docker exec -it CONTAINER_NAME or ID /bin/bash   | Use this to conenct to console into this containers command line

If a container is down, look at its logs to try to determine why it is down, if its failing, it probably doesnt like one or more of your env settings and it should tell you about that in the logs.

#Note
You can install mycli to manage MySQL database locally with command prompt or if you have PHPMyAdmin you can conenct on this machines, port 3306, using root and the password you set in your env files.
