docker rm sharelatex

### Mongo and Redis
ShareLaTeX depends on [MongoDB](http://www.mongodb.org/) (must be 2.4 or later), and
[Redis](http://redis.io/) (must be version 2.6.12 or later).
These should be running on the host system.
By default the ShareLaTeX Docker container looks for these running on the host
machine at port 27017 (for Mongo) and port 6379 (for Redis). These are the defaults
ports for both databases so you shouldn't need to change them.
Note that Docker containers each come with their own network stack, and Mongo and Redis
often listen by default on `127.0.0.1` which is not accessible on the host
from inside the Docker container. Instead, you should configure Mongo and Redis to
also listen on `172.17.42.1` (or whatever ip iddress the docker0 interface has on your
host). This can be done in `/etc/mongod.conf` and `/etc/redis/redis.conf`.
If you want to point ShareLaTeX at a database in a different location, you can
configure the container with environment variables. See the **Configuration Options**
section below.
*Note that `localhost` in the container refers only to the container, so if you
want to access services on the host machine then you should use `dockerhost`.
`dockerhost` refers to the the `172.17.42.1` ip address mentioned above.* For example:
```
$ docker run -d \
-v ~/sharelatex_data:/var/lib/sharelatex \
-p 80 \
--name=sharelatex \
--env SHARELATEX_MONGO_URL=mongodb://dockerhost/sharelatex \
