FLAVOR=string, which selects the flavor (subdirectory of this repository) to build. Set to focal by default.
IMAGE=name, which will override the default image name. If not specified, this is set to membrane/membrane

Execute the following command while being in your application directory:

make run

or from anywhere:

DIR=/my/app/directory make run

This will start the container with the application directory mapped to /app. Inside the container, go to that directory:

cd /app

and execute your app's code (for example tests)

mix test
