    * `SUBNET_ADDRESS = 172.18.0.0`
    * `OLLAMA_IP = 172.18.0.2`
    * `OLLAMA_PORT = 11434`

+    * `REDIS_IP = 172.18.0.4`
+    * `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.
