+# This docker-compose config for ArchiveBox runs the following containers:
+#     - ArchiveBox (it creates the initial archive, then sleeps forever to allow commands to be run with exec to add links)
+#     - nginx webserver running on https://127.0.0.1:8098
+# Usage:
+#     docker-compose up -d
+#     echo "https://example.com" | docker-compose exec -T archivebox /bin/archive
+#     docker-compose exec archivebox /bin/archive https://example.com/some/feed.rss
