@jonathanrainer - I made a few changes since your last review and it ended up getting larger. Can you take another look?

@abernix - can you or someone on the team take a look? I'd like to get this merged ideally Tuesday (today) to align with launch if possible, but it is not a must have.

LGTM

Need to address the errors in links

[mabuyo]

Did we want to show this in the sidebar too?

[lambertjosh]

We probably should. How do we do that? I made a few changes to be indicate what this is. Can you review and make or propose the change to add to the sidebar?

[lambertjosh]

Also is there a way to get a preview deploy of these docs somewhere like netlify or GH Pages?

[mabuyo]

The DP is kinda hidden, it's under the tests Docs Deploy Preview, but here's the link: https://www.apollographql.com/docs/deploy-preview/11ed83ea0783a80e2f42c306/graphos/routing/self-hosted/containerization/docker

@mabuyo - do we need to do anything to get it to show in the sidebar?
