+## Example docker-compose
+
+Create an empty directory and create a `docker-compose.yml` file with
+the contents from the above link. Then run `docker-compose up -d`. It
+will create a folder in the directory called `data` which will be the
+persistent storage. You can then safely restart the containers and the
+data will be saved. To delete the persistent data - just remove/rename
+the directory and a new empty one will be created next time you spin
+up the containers.
