+## After starting a container
After starting a container you can go to [http://localhost:8080/](http://localhost:8080/) or [http://192.168.59.103:8080/](http://192.168.59.103:8080/) if you use boot2docker.

It might take a while before the docker container is responding to queries.
+You can check the status with `sudo docker logs -f gitlab-ce`.
+
You can login to the web interface with username `root` and password `5iveL!fe`.
Next time, you can just use docker start and stop to run the container.
