+When running superset using `docker` or `docker-compose` it runs in its own
docker container, as if the superset was running in a seperate machine
entirely. Therefore attempts to connect to your local database with hostname
`localhost` won't work as `localhost` refers to the docker container superset
is running in, and not your actual host machine. Fortunately docker provides an
easy way to access network resources in the host machine from inside a
container, we will leverage this capability to connect to our local database
instance. Here the instructions are for connecting to postgresql (which is
running on your host machine) from superset (which is running in its docker
container). Other databases may have slightly different configurations but gist
