Hi James, Could you clarify this:

Perhaps obvious, but just to be clear you do need to keep the docker session running otherwise the started geode members will just go away when the gfsh shell exits. I think the instructions do need to be updated a bit. If you're trying to connect to the cluster from your host you should use the following to start the locator and server: start locator --hostname-for-clients=localhost --jmx-manager-hostname-for-clients=localhost --J=-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=localhost start server --hostname-for-clients=localhost Since the started cluster will be using docker non-public IPs (probably on a 172.17.0.0/16 subnet) any externally connecting client will not be able to connect directly to these addresses, but will need to use the localhost proxy ports as exposed by docker. --Jens
