@manekenpix I filed the issue and created the PR. Please assign someone else to review this PR.

[RC-Lee]

You're being assigned the PR, meaning you're responsible for this PR, not being assigned to review.

Also, this I'm guessing is most likely from not rebasing correctly. If rebased right, the message would not appear, and there would only be 1 commit to this PR.

@RC-Lee, Sorry, my bad. :)

I do my setup a bit out of the status quo, but I'm wondering if you've tested yourself? (Including deleting the redis cache (redis-data) and starting from scratch) Another good way to have this tested is if you could ask one of your current classmates to go through it line by line and see if they can get Telescope started up.

Just from what I've experienced, the db scripts will not be able to run correctly if the db containers aren't running. Thought it'd be worth pointing out.

If you do the setup using the environment-setup as a guide, you would most likely run into database issues. I pointed out this problem in the Telescope channel, and @humphd suggested filing an issue for it.

Yes, because it's WIP. In the meantime, users can setup their environment using steps not introduced through this PR.
