6. Edit the generated/docker-compose.yml file, removing the subnet’s network configuration (except for the subnet configuration on machine1, which is the machine where you ran start.sh).

   export HOSTPWD=$(pwd)
   docker compose --profile machineX pull;  
   docker compose --profile machineX up -d;
   

   

8. Back in the Deployment Wizard, you can monitor the number of peers in the Status column on the left, or use the script generated/scripts/check-peer.sh to confirm if the multi-machine deployment was successful:
