Welcome to Choochoo, an open, hackable, and free training diary! In this guide, we will explore how to effectively use Choochoo, troubleshoot common issues, and ensure that your experience is as smooth as possible. Whether you’re an aspiring data scientist or just looking to track your training journey, Choochoo is here to help.

Understanding Choochoo: The Basics

Initially, Choochoo aimed to be easily installable via a Python package. However, due to the complexities and errors associated with direct installation, the project transitioned to a Docker image approach. While this has its advantages, it has also led to increased complexity, as it currently requires three Docker images to run in parallel.

Installation Instructions

Here’s a simplified version of the installation process:

• Install Docker on your machine if you don’t have it yet.
• Pull the Choochoo Docker images.
• Run the necessary Docker containers as specified in the [install and startup instructions](https://andrewcooke.github.io/choochoo).

Due to the current complexity, you may find these steps challenging. But fear not, as help is just a few clicks away!

Code Analogy: Visualizing Docker Complexity

Think of the Choochoo installation like preparing a meal with various dishes. Each Docker image represents a different dish that needs to be prepared simultaneously for the meal to come together perfectly. If one dish is undercooked or overcooked (such as a Docker container not running correctly), it can throw off the entire meal! Just like ensuring you have all ingredients at the right temperature and prepared at the same time can lead to a delightful dining experience, managing your Docker containers effectively can lead to a successful launch of Choochoo.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you find yourself encountering issues, here are some tips to help you get back on track:

• Ensure all Docker images are running by checking your Docker dashboard.
• Revisit the installation instructions to confirm each step was followed accurately.
• Restart your Docker service to clear any potential conflicts between containers.
