#  -it          = interactive terminal
#  -v $PWD:/e2e = map current folder to /e2e inside the container

#  -e DISPLAY   = pass environment variable DISPLAY to the container
#  --entrypoint cypress = run "cypress" command
#     with arguments AFTER Docker image name
#     in our case they are "--project ." to point globally installed Cypress
#     at the current working directory /e2e inside the container
