Hi,

I'm trying to run bind_exporter using docker compose with this config:

```

bind-exporter:

image: prometheuscommunity/bind-exporter

networks:

- back-tier

ports:

- 9101:9100

restart: always

command:

- '-bind.stats-url http://dnshost:8053'

```

But the container keeps restarting, and I have this error in the logs :

"bind-exporter_1 | bind_exporter: error: unknown short flag '-b', try --help"

Regards,

Mohamed Boukhlif

The most common thing to try whenever you see this error is to use two dashes (which is how my bind_exporter is configured).

Apparently the README.md on GitHub is incorrect.

Yeah I've change it, but I still get the same error.
