📄 Description

I was experimenting with SillyTavern on Docker and couldn't get it to work with LMStudio's OpenAI compatible endpoint. Apparently, SillyTavern accesses the API from the server's end, which means that users have to use http://host.docker.internal:<port> instead of http://127.0.0.1:<port>. This difference is very subtle, and is likely to be overlooked by beginners or those unfamiliar with Docker. I've updated the documentation to point this out.
