###About Docker Setup The quick start steps do the following:
- Creates a container that runs the cert-viewer Flask app with MongoDB using Docker Compose details
- Seeds the MongoDB database with sample fake certificates. This data is located in the mongo-seed folder
- Starts the container. This configuration exposes port 5000.
