# Go to the newly created directory
cd docker-nodejs-helloworld

Creating the containers and running them immediatly ( without using Kitematic )

# This will initialize the container and then start it immediatly

Creating the container for Kitematic

# This will initialize the container but won't start it
docker-compose up --no-start

Then run Kitematic and start your container.

If you see the message : " docker-nodejs | server is listening on 8000 " Then your web server is up : go to http://localhost:8000
