+2. Remove exposed of both containers, as we they don't need expose their ports to outside environment. We just want to test their cross-communication in the same docker network

    1. Enter frontend container: `docker exec -it frontend /bin/sh`

+# Proxy using nginx

+In this section, we test we can reach both frontend and backend from proxy container or computer itself
+
+Steps:
+1. Uncomment all container in `docker-compose.yaml`
+2. Build container and initiate them via `docker compose up`
+3. These container are not in `mynetwork`
+4. Enter proxy container via `docker exec -it proxy /bin/sh`
+5. From the proxy container, try to reach other containers
+   1. Frontend
+      1. `curl http://frontend`
+      2. `curl http://localhost` to visit port 80
+   2. Backend
+      1. `curl http://backend:5000`
+      2. `curl http://localhost/api`
+6. Exit the container; In normal terminal, we can still reach frontend and backend
+   1. `curl http://localhost` to visit frontend
+   2. `curl http://localhost/api` to visit backend
