The ``image: 'timelimit-server:latest'`` will not work out of the box.
You have to build this image yourself (using ``sudo docker build -t timelimit-server --no-cache --pull .``
within the root directory of this git repository) or you can replace it by
``image: docker.timelimit.io/timelimit-server`` which will use prebuilt docker
images.
In case of self building the image, don't forget to run ``docker-compose up`` again
to make docker use the new image.
Watch out to actually rebuild the images and restart the containers after updates (for example using ``docker-compose up --build``).
