+# Docker compose recipe for InvenTree
+# - Runs PostgreSQL as the database backend
+# - Runs Gunicorn as the InvenTree web server
+# - Runs the InvenTree background worker process
+# - Runs nginx as a reverse proxy

+# Before running, ensure that you change the "/path/to/data" directory,
+# specified in the "volumes" section at the end of this file.
+# This path determines where the InvenTree data will be stored!
