-The data for this project can be accessed via the dashboard (`http://3.11.85.207/dashboard/`) or the API (`http://3.11.85.207/api/v2/`). The API can be interacted with programatically, or via the Swagger UI (`http://3.11.85.207/api/v2/ui `), which also acts as the API documentation.

-The application is managed by docker containers in the server machine. The `docker-compose.yaml` file orchestrating the application is in `/dgg-www`, and can be launched by running `docker-compose up --build` and torn down by running `docker-compose down` in this directory. The database is reinstantiated each time the containers are started, and the csvs in `/dgg-www/api/scripts/data` will be used for the database. This data can be replaced if required, but their names should stay the same. If you need to rename the csvs, please see the script `/dgg-www/api/scripts/insert_data.py` where these names are defined.
+The application is managed by docker containers in the server machine. The `docker-compose.yaml` file orchestrating the application is in `/dgg-www`, and can be launched by running `docker-compose up --build` and torn down by running `docker-compose down` in this directory. The database data is persisted in a docker volume when the app is torn down (`docker-compose down`) unless the `-v` flag is used, in which case the data will be deleted. The csvs in `/dgg-www/api/scripts/data` will be used for the database. This data can be replaced if required, but their names should stay the same. If you need to insert data into the database after it has been wiped, please use the script `/dgg-www/api/scripts/insert_data.py`. Indicator tables can also be replaced/inserted using the `dgg-www/scripts/reinsert_all_data` - See `bulk insert script` below for instructions.
 
 **If you need to replace indicator tables in the database, you can either replace them here, or run a script on the server machine to replace data in the running database. See Bulk Insert Script below for instructions**
