+## DOCKER FINDINGS
+	TODO: Clean up anything juseful here in a howto docs
+	- Need a shared docker network between all containers, I was assuming could just redirect to localhost but didn't realize docker network is internal to docker 
+		- this helped https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39202964/how-to-reach-another-container-from-a-dockerised-nginx?rq=1
+		- first created a defined external network sudo docker network create docker-network
+			- HOWEVER - I think docker has a default network so this external network probably isn't necessary, ??? MORE RESEARCH REQUIRED HERE
+		- Then in the docker compose files of all involved had to put at the bottom one network statement (none in the service sections above)
+			- networks:
+  				docker-network:
+    				driver: bridge	
+			
+	- need to run Nginx in front of ayanova for easiest ssl cert handling etc
+		- Very good reference here: https://gist.github.com/soheilhy/8b94347ff8336d971ad0
+	- Nginx needs to see ayanova via the docker host name which is the container name
+		- So I had to point it like this:
+			proxy_pass http://ayanova:7575;
+				- Where ayanova is the image name in the docker compose file for starting AyaNova server
