Description

Hi,

I am very new to docker (installed it to use HiGlass a few weeks ago). My windows laptop is struggling to locally host HiGlass, my data and anything else I want to do at the same time.

I've now been able to get docker desktop up and running on my work PC and I would like to be able to run my HiGlass container on my work PC and access the web page of HiGlass from my laptop.

From reading through the various github pages and the io pages I think that I need to just add:

```-e SITE_URL the_site_url.org```

to the docker run command that I want to use.

But, how do I find out what site_url I am currently using? (It just says localhost and the port).

Or have I misunderstood something?

Many thanks,
Jenni

Research direction

Start with the docker run command and the SITE_URL setting mentioned in the issue. The payload names no repository files or tests, so first determine whether this belongs in the Docker usage documentation and what remote-access behavior should be documented. Done would require a clear, verified explanation of the required configuration.
