+
+Running A1 Standalone
+---------------------
+
+The A1 container can be run standalone, which means using an in-memory mock
+version of SDL and a static route table. The host machine must have the RMR
+library and the environment must define the variable `prometheus_multiproc_dir`
+with a value like /tmp. Alternately, use the following command to run A1 as
+a Docker container, using a route table mounted as a file from this git
+repository and exposing the server's HTTP port on the Docker host::
+
+ docker run -e USE_FAKE_SDL=True -p 10000:10000 -v `pwd`:/opt/route [DOCKER_IMAGE_ID_HERE]
+
+Then test the server with an invocation such as this::
+
+ curl localhost:10000/a1-p/healthcheck
+
