Description

The comments within docker-compose.yml contain the following:

# After initial setup, download LocalSettings.php to the same directory as
# this yaml and uncomment the following line and use compose to restart
# the mediawiki service

Simply restarting the service is insufficient. To add the new volume you need to use the following command:

docker compose up --build

It is not necessary to first do docker compose down.

Research direction

Open docker-compose.yml and find the comments describing how to add LocalSettings.php. Clarify that uncommenting the volume requires running docker compose up --build, and that docker compose down is not needed. Done means the documented steps accurately describe applying the new volume.
