### Using docker
b4bz/homer:latest
```
-Environment variables:
+The container will run using a user uid and gid 1000. Add `--user <your-UID>:<your-GID>` to the docker command to adjust it. Make sure this match the ownership of your assets directory.
+
+**Environment variables:**
* **`INIT_ASSETS`** (default: `1`)
Install example configuration file & assets (favicons, ...) to help you get started.
* **`SUBFOLDER`** (default: `null`)
If you would like to host Homer in a subfolder, (ex: *http://my-domain/**homer***), set this to the subfolder path (ex `/homer`).
+#### With docker-compose
-### Using docker-compose
-
-The `docker-compose.yml` file must be edited to match your needs.
-You probably want to set the port mapping and volume binding (equivalent to `-p` and `-v` arguments):
-
-```yaml
-volumes:
- - /your/local/assets/:/www/assets
-ports:
- - 8080:8080
-```
+A [`docker-compose.yml`](docker-compose.yml) file is available as an example. It must be edited to match your needs. You probably want to adjust the port mapping and volume binding (equivalent to `-p` and `-v` arguments).
Then launch the container:
