⁠Install Notes

• The --net=host option is required for Channels to discover your Channels DVR Server via Bonjour.
• Neither Docker for Mac nor Docker for Windows support --net=host. When running on these platforms, you'll have to connect to Channels DVR Server by IP address from Channels. You can do this in the Settings tab of the Channels app.
