-GOALS
-
-- Generate sufficiently memorable but secure passwords for use with accounts 
-that don't offer better authentication methods.
-
-- Share text secrets with others without disclosing the secret in the 
-message itself. 
-
-- Provide a minimal and clean interface for generating and sharing passwords.
-
-- Maintain a clean and organized codebase that can be extended to include more
-utilities than originally anticipated.

-
-- Clone this repository
-- Build the container image (with flakes enabled): `nix build .#purr-container`
-- Load the container image
-  - podman load -i result
-- Use the provided docker stack example to deploy the container if desired
-  - docker stack deploy -c docker-stack.yml purr

+    "/PATH/TO/PURR/data:/app/data"
+  ];
+  environment = { 
+    PURRNOFILE = "true";
+    ENVIRONMENT = "production";
+    APPLICATIONHOST = "localhost";
+    APPLICATIONPORT = "3000";
+    DATADIR = "/app/";
+    LINKLENGTH = "24";
+    ADMINEMAIL = "${YOUR_EMAIL}";
+  };
+};
+```
+5) Docker Stack
