#### 3 - Run it

You need a reverse proxy to access flarum, this is not described here. You can use the solution of your choice (Traefik, Nginx, Apache, Haproxy, Caddy, H2O...etc).

```
docker-compose up -d
```

Fill out the installation form :

* Your admin password must contain at least **8 characters**.
* You can't use MariaDB **10.2** or **10.3** for the moment. More information on this issue [here](https://github.com/flarum/core/issues/1211).
* If you get an error 500 with _Something went wrong_ message, switch the `DEBUG` environment variable to `true` to see the actual error message in your browser.
