Hello there, I am new to EPRnext and Frappe.

I am setting up on my local with the help of this guide.

frappe/frappe_docker/blob/main/docs/setup-options.md#setup-frappe-without-proxy-and-external-mariadb-and-redis

# Containerized Production Setup

Make sure you've cloned this repository and switch to the directory before executing following commands.

Commands will generate YAML as per the environment for setup.

## Prerequisites

- [docker](https://docker.com/get-started)
- [docker compose v2](https://docs.docker.com/compose/cli-command)

## Setup Environment Variables

Copy the example docker environment file to `.env`:

```sh
cp example.env .env
```

Note: To know more about environment variable [read here](./environment-variables.md). Set the necessary variables in the `.env` file.

This file has been truncated. show original

In this, I chose Setup Frappe without proxy and external MariaDB and Redis and copied example.env to .env and change DB_HOST=host.docker.internal, DB_PORT=3306, DB_PASSWORD=root (that’s my password)

And then ran docker compose --project-name -f ~/gitops/docker-compose.yml up -d
for starting my project. But I am getting an error that localhost does not exist.
