Just use docker compose. It’s so much easier to manage various projects that require different versions of services like postgres, mysql, redis, etc.

Thanks, this helped me out when I had to setup a new company laptop!

This might be a better solution long term but a) I’m not overly familiar with Docker (which is partly why I’m reading this book), and b) I was trying to follow the book as close as possible.

There’s always a tension when following technical books; if you deviate too far, you might run into issues you need to diagnose yourself and that might be challenging depending on the nature of the issue and your experience level. At the same time, books can date fast, so you might run into similar issues when following the book directly anyway. Since this book is relatively new, I expected minimal to no issues following the book directly, but the recent macOS update obviously had an impact.
