### Proxy Container (nginx) Configuration
In order to use media files in a production environment, you need to configure the `nginx` container to serve the media files. The container is already in the docker compose file but you need to do a few things to make it work.
1. Create a directory called `proxy` in the same directory as the `docker-compose.yml` file.
2. Create a file called `nginx.conf` in the `proxy` directory.
3. Add the following configuration to the `nginx.conf` file:
```nginx
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
location /media/ {
alias /app/media/;
}
}
```
## Running the Containers
To start the containers, run the following command:
```bash
docker compose up -d
```
