Research direction

Open the linked “inside a Docker container” section and compare its --link example with Docker’s linked networking guidance. Update the example to use the recommended user-defined network approach, and consider the work done when the legacy --link argument is no longer documented.

Description

type:docs

Link to section:
https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server#inside-a-docker-container

What is the issue?
The example on how to set up Parse Server with Docker uses the --link argument. However, this argument is a legacy feature of Docker that will eventually be removed.

Can you propose a solution?
As the Docker docs say:

we recommend that you use user-defined networks to facilitate communication between two containers instead of using --link.

Is there anything we should change in our example to bring it up-to-date?
