sudo docker ps
```
You should see something like:

* If shortcodes are **not rendering**:
1. Go to **Appearance → Themes**
2. Activate **Twenty Twenty-Three** (or another default theme).
* If navigating to `http://localhost:8000/` says **Database Not Connected**:
1. Wait a minute or two for the Database to finish setting up
