You can name your services whatever you want, but here it is named "filegator". 3. `container_name: filegator`: This specifies the name of the Docker container that will be created. If you do not specify this name, Docker will automatically generate a unique name for the container. 4. `image: filegator/filegator`: This is the Docker image that will be used to create the container. This image is located on Docker Hub under the name "filegator/filegator". 5. `restart: always`: This directive tells Docker to restart the container whenever it stops. This can be useful if you want your service to be available at all times. 6. `ports:`: These are the ports that will be forwarded from the container to the host machine. * `"8080:8080"`: The host's port 8080 will be forwarded to port 8080 in the container. 7. `volumes:`: Describes the volumes or folders that will be forwarded from the host system to the container. * `./files:/var/www/filegator/repository`: The local folder "files" (located next to the docker-compose file) will be thrown into the container as `/var/www/filegator/repository`. * `./users.json:/var/www/filegator/private/users.json`: This line is commented out, but if uncommented, the local file `users.json` will be available in the container as `/var/www/filegator/private/users.json`. * `./configuration.php:/var/www/filegator/configuration.php`: This is also commented out, but if activated will throw `configuration.php` into the container.
