 ### Step 4: Run the Application with Docker Compose
 - docker-compose up
 ```
+
+## Accessing the Application
+Once the containers are running, the Spring Boot application will be accessible at http://localhost:18012.
+
+## Additional Information
+**MongoDB Data Persistence**: MongoDB data is persisted in the host folder /Users/XXXX/DOCKER/mongo/db 
+mapped to /data/db in the MongoDB container.
+
+**Spring Boot Application**: The application is packaged as a JAR file and copied into the Docker image.
+Cleaning Up
+To stop the running containers, use:
+    
+```bash
+docker-compose down
+```
+This command stops and removes the containers defined in the docker-compose.yml file.
