[Task]: Udpate docs about addons

[KevinMind]

IT should be very fast once you've run it once or twice. I just ran it in 39 seconds.
make update_docker does

snapshot of data
run make up
restore data from the snapshot in step 1.
Otherwise they are the same.

now I am confused. Does up stand for update or for up as in the opposite of down?
Is there are way to start/run the containers without updating the images?

/agree that make up is hella ambigious

I think we need to come up with better make target names.

make up is like docker compose up with dependencies.

If you checkout the project fresh, and run docker compose up.. it will fail.

make up, adds the necessary files (version.json, .env) based on the local environment and your specifications so that docker compose up will not fail.

Additionally (after this pr lands) after your run make up once, running docker compose commands should behave the same whether run via make or directly on the shell.

if you look at what make up does, it runs a command called make docker_compose_up if you want to JUST run the containers, that will do it. it just runs a docker compose up command with the right arguments.

I very much agree.

make docker up reads better to me. Like we should reorganize the make targets based on the "domain"

make docker (up|update|down|shell|clean)

make test (js|python|assets|etc)

make build (image|assets|locales)

second one. There is a command for updating the docker compose project. The intended idea of make up is it is a "one shot" command for making the entire project "up". Like you just run that one command and everything that needs to happen will happen. ideally this is the command you run 99% of the time to make sure your environment is "up"
