Fix the order of instructions for initialization #126
Conversation
Following the steps for initialization, I had to kickstart the web server before I was able to browse through port 5001. Apparently, the web server isn't automatically started.

It has been a while since I set up new containers. After docker compose up web-server are you getting the data from your partial index or is it actually routing your requests to the live API? I suspect it's the latter and if that's the case, that's an error in our documentation.

Actually, I think you're right: I'm seeing full recent history and I'm able to browse the "Crop" release which I don't think was imported. How do I make the web service connect to the local API?

It looks like we are recommending this way: https://github.com/metacpan/metacpan-docker?tab=readme-ov-file#binmetacpan-localapi
It might be worth looking under the hood to see if this is still works and is the best idea. I would say if it does work, maybe we can just move on to the next thing rather than tweaking too much.
Since Traefik isn't used...
... So the port number can be used in the README.
