 ## Getting started

 ### Using docker

-Default assets will be automatically installed in the `/www/assets` directory. Use `UID` and/or `GID` env var to change the assets owner (`docker run -e "UID=1000" -e "GID=1000" [...]`).
+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.
 
-### Using docker-compose
+**Environment variables:** 
 
-The `docker-compose.yml` file must be edited to match your needs.
-Set the port and volume (equivalent to `-p` and `-v` arguments):
+* **`INIT_ASSETS`** (default: `1`)
+Install example configuration file & assets (favicons, ...) to help you get started.
 
-```yaml
-volumes:
-  - /your/local/assets/:/www/assets
-ports:
-  - 8080:8080
-```
+* **`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`).
 
-To launch container:
+#### With docker-compose
 
-```sh
-cd /path/to/docker-compose.yml
-docker-compose up -d
-```
+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).
 
-Default assets will be automatically installed in the `/www/assets` directory. Use `UID` and/or `GID` env var to change the assets owner, also in `docker-compose.yml`:
+Then launch the container:
 
-```yaml
-environment:
-  - UID=1000
-  - GID=1000
+```sh
+cd /path/to/docker-compose.yml/
+docker-compose up -d
 ```
