(optional) Test Ensembl browser

At this stage you may wish to start up a basic Ensembl mirror site using the local copy of the Ensembl core database(s) from the previous step. This will lack many of the additional features of a complete GenomeHubs site but provides a useful opportunity to check that the basic components are working before continuing with the instructions to import your own data.
Edit setup.ini
Edit database settings:
for the default setup, only DB_SESSION_PASS should need changing
database hosts should match the name of your mysql container
DB_FALLBACK_HOST is used to allow additional databases to be loaded from a remote host (in this case EnsemblGenomes) so not all databases need to be hosted locally
