-# Why we are running with network_mode: host
-#
-# In order for the backend server to talk to the mysql server, they need to be on the same network.
-# I tried splitting it out where the mysql runs on a custom network and the backend runs on both
-# the custom network AND with localhost. Nothing I tried worked and googling didn't help. They
-# only ever mentioned one thing or using host.docker.internal which would cause the domains to
-# be different.
-#
-# So instead we are running with both the mysql server and the backend server in host network mode.
-# There may be a better way to do this but if it works, then it works.
