it's *highly* recommended to use a docker compose method unless you run for developing/debugging purposes.

## accessing the api
currently, there is no publicly accessible main api. we plan on providing a public api for
cobalt 10 in some form in the future. we recommend deploying your own instance if you wish
to use the latest api. you can access [the documentation](/docs/api.md) for it here.
