I appreciate the write up, but you can't just put "simple" in a title to and expect it to be simple for everyone. It's simple for what audience? I know there are plenty of developers (especially Mac/Windows users) who would read this and be put off. Simple for me would be running one command like "docker-compose up" and be up and running.

A certain willingness to teach oneself using the tools available, including googling words you don't know, is essential to many modern careers.

"docker-compose up" is not quite as bad as "curl | sudo" , but it's pretty darn close.

It's simple compared to other solutions I found when writing the article, in my opinion (while I wasn't the one who put "simple" in the title here, my original title is different).

Anyway, take a look at the "Instructions in Short" section (I just added a button at the article beginning to jump to that section). You only have to fill in a few blanks (probably just copying from a wg-quick file you already have), add a few lines to your docker-compose file and then run docker compose up.

I think that's somwhat simple enough for a non-trivial task. I might write a script to do that automatically in the future (somebody in the article's discussion asked for that, by the way).
