 postgres account is `password`.

 ## Server setup
 To test this when building from gradle with `:server-jetty-app:run`, specify `-Psql-username-password` to enable this.
 
+To run this from a sample docker-compose:
+ * First build the project, at least `./gradlew prepareCompose :authentication:example-providers:sql-username-password:assemble`
+   from the top-level directory of the project.
+ * Then run `docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose-dh.yml up` in this directory. 
+
 To use this from a pre-built installation:
 * Add the sql-username-password-authentication-provider jar to your Deephaven installation's classpath:
     * If running the `bin/start` script, this can be accomplished by adding it to the `EXTRA_CLASSPATH` environment variable.
