2. Navigate to the project directory.
3. Run the following commands:
   • docker compose --build
   • docker compose up
4. Open a web browser and navigate to the following URLs:
   • Documentation Section

Actual Behavior:

• Both sections return a 404 error, indicating that the pages could not be found.

The docs site is not built by default. You need to follow the instructions for the virtual env deployment.

I'd advise against running it in Docker right now anyway, as the test suite is broken.
