 ## To Run (with Docker and Docker Compose)
-* With the inclusion of subnets in the `docker-compose.yml`, you will need to set the `SUBNET_ADDRESS`, `OLLAMA_IP`, `OLLAMA_PORT`, `REDIS_IP`, `REDIS_PORT`, and `DISCORD_IP`. Here are some default values if you don't care:

-    * `REDIS_PORT = 6379`
     * Don't understand any of this? watch a Networking video to understand subnetting.
     * You also need all environment variables shown in [`.env.sample`](../.env.sample)
 * Otherwise, there is no need to install any npm packages for this, you just need to run `npm run start` to pull the containers and spin them up.
