Why am I getting the "Cannot create container for service peer0.org1.example.com: b'Conflict." error when running "byfn.sh up" to start up the BYFN Network?

You are getting "Cannot create container for service peer0.org1.example.com: b'Conflict." error when running the "byfn.sh up" command, because there container name "peer0.org1.example.com" already exists on the Docker Engine.

This error condition happens frequently on your local test environment, because many test networks are using the same container name "peer0.org1.example.com".

To resolve the issue, you can stop and remove the offending container:

$ docker container ls -a | grep peer0
...   hyperledger/fabric-peer:1.4   "peer node start"   peer0.org1.example.com

$ docker container stop "peer0.org1.example.com"
peer0.org1.example.com

$ docker container rm "peer0.org1.example.com"
peer0.org1.example.com

Repeat the same steps to remove other containers.
