I'm not familiar with docker-compose. Will people need to download the yaml file before being able to run docker-compose? The standalone docker command doesn't require anything like that. Also, I just added the ability to run the docker command with -e args instead of using the config file. So would we create an empty env_file, and reference that from the yaml? (Since the env vars are optional.) |

Hello, Docker compose installation is as easy as this:
Details are described here: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/
One of great benefits of docker-compose is that you can put all configuration options into that yml file and just execute If you are using Docker then I strongly recommend checking out docker-compose because that is a great tool (especially to manage multi-container setups). Greetings |

I would suggest perhaps add the compose file as an example - so that somebody that WANTS to run this with compose has something they can copy and adjust to suite their needs. But add it as separate instructions - thereby keeping the main running instructions as low level and zero dependency as possible. |
docker-compose.yml added and README updated
