 ## Docker Image
 The easiest way to get `datatools-server` running is to use the provided `Dockerfile` and `docker-compose.yml`. The `docker-compose.yml` includes both database servers that are needed. Edit the supplied configurations in the `configurations` directory to ensure the server starts correctly. Once this is done running `docker-compose up` will start Datatools and all required database servers.
