+# First, you start the vault service, if you use it. The command is:
+# docker compose -f docker-compose-lockbox.yml --profile hashicorp-container up --build
+# Then, you start the Lockbox and Mercury server services. The command is:
+# docker compose -f docker-compose-lockbox.yml --profile mercury up --build
+# The Mercury service will start the Lockbox service and the Mercury server. The Lockbox service will connect to the vault service to get the seed value.

+# If you are not going to use the vault service, you do not need to run the first command.
