   - If using SSL, see the additional instructions below for configuring the Nginx Docker container.
   - If not using SSL, comment out the volume mapping in the `docker-compose.yml` file under the `nginx-proxy` service. 
 6. Bring up the Docker container(s): `docker-compose up -d`. This will install all necessary dependencies and launch the Flask app with gunicorn on port `8080`, and it will start an Nginx server to proxy port `8080` to `80`/`443`.

 6. When the Flask app starts up, it will check for the presence of a database encryption key file (as specified in `example.env`). If the file is not present, it will create a new database encryption key. **Be careful with this key.** Once the data has been encrypted using it, the key is necessary to decrypt the data again. Loss of the key means loss of the data.
 7. The postgres container will store data outside of the container, in the `./data` directory.
     - When first run, postgres will set the permissions on this directory to a system user.
