 We also have a [`docker-compose.yml`](/docker-compose.yml) file available. Use `docker compose up` if you want to start the stack, or `docker compose down` to bring it down. You can pass `--build` to `docker compose up` to rebuild the Docker image (useful if you've changed any of the environment variables) as well as `-d` to start it in detached mode. You can read more about Docker Compose in general [here](https://docs.docker.com/compose/intro/compose-application-model/).
 
 ### Using an image from the GitHub Container Registry
+
 While there's an image you can pull instead of cloning the repo and building the image yourself, you will not be able to update any of the environment variables (e.g. `PUB_PLAUSIBLE_URL`) as they're baked directly into the image and not obtained during runtime. If you're okay with this, you can simply run this command instead:
+
 ```shell
 $ docker run -d \
     --restart unless-stopped \
