+# Configuring `vm.overcommit_memory` in sysctl for WSL2
 
 To prevent memory overcommitment issues and optimize performance, you can configure the `vm.overcommit_memory` setting in WSL2. This is particularly useful when running Redis or other memory-intensive services inside WSL2, as it helps control how the Linux kernel handles memory allocation.

+# Docker Commands
+
+##  General `docker-compose` Commands:
+1. Bring up the services, force a rebuild of all services, and do not use the cache: `docker-compose up --build --no-cache`
+2. Start Containers in Detached Mode: This will run the containers in the background (detached mode): `docker-compose up -d`
+3. Stop and Remove Containers: Stops and removes the containers gracefully: `docker-compose down`
+4. Stop containers without removing them: `docker-compose stop`
+5. Remove Containers, Volumes, and Networks: `docker-compose down --volumes`
+6. Force rebuild of containers: `docker-compose build --no-cache`
+7. View running Containers:  `docker-compose ps`
+8. View a specific containers logs: `docker-compose logs <container-name>`
+9. Scale services (multiple instances of a service): `docker-compose up --scale <container-name>=<instances number> -d`
+
+## Volume Management Commands
+1. List  Docker volumes: `docker volume ls`
+2. Remove Unused volumes `docker volume prune`
+3. Remove specific volumes `docker volume rm <volume-name>`
+4. Inspect a volume: `docker volume inspect <volume-name>`
+
+## Container Image Management Commands:
+1. List running containers: `docker ps`
+2. List all containers: `docker os -a`
+3. Remove Stopped containers: `docker container prune`
+4. Remove a specific container: `docker container rm <container-name>`
+5. Remove a specific image: `docker rmi <image-name>:<version>`
+6. Remove all unused images: `docker image prune -a`
+
+## Network Management Commands:
+1. List networks: `docker network ls`
+2. Inspect a specific network: `docker network inspect <network-name>`
+3. Remove a specific network: `docker network rm <network-name>`
+4. Remove unused networks: `docker network prune`
+
+## Debugging and maintenance:
+1. Enter a Running container: `docker exec -it <container name> /bin/bash` (could also be `/bin/sh` or for example `redis-cli` on a redis node)
+2. View container resource usage: `docker stats`
+3. Check Disk space used by Docker: `docker system df`
+4. Remove all unused Data (Nuclear option): `docker system prune`
+
+## Specific examples
+1. To simulate a Clean state, one should run `docker system prune` followed by `docker volume prune -a`
+2. You can run `docker-compose up` without the `-d` option, and you will get what is identical to the experience you were used to, this includes being able to control-c and bring the entire stack down
