+# Advanced setup
 
+## Changing configuration
+
+The configuration file is stored in /srv/ledgersmb/local/conf/. By mounting
+that directory using a bind-mount to a location outside the container,
+configuration can be changed between container starts:
+
+```plain
+ $ docker run -d -p 5762:5762 --name myledger \
+     --mount 'type=bind,src=/home/ledgersmb/conf,dst=/srv/ledgersmb/local/conf \
+     -e POSTGRES_HOST=<ip/hostname> ledgersmb/ledgersmb:latest
+```
+
+## Overriding or adding configuration
+
+By pre-creating a configuration file in the mounted configuration directory,
+the standard configuration generation process in the container can be overruled:
+
+```plain
+ $ cat <<EOF > /home/ledgersmb/conf/ledgersmb.yaml
+   ... YOUR CONFIG HERE ...
+ EOF
+ $ docker run -d -p 5762:5762 --name myledger \
+     --mount 'type=bind,src=/home/ledgersmb/conf,dst=/srv/ledgersmb/local/conf \
+     -e POSTGRES_HOST=<ip/hostname> ledgersmb/ledgersmb:latest
+```
+
+If you do not want to completely overrule the configuration generated, but instead
+supplement the configuration, you can put incremental configuration snippets in
+files named `ledgersmb.1XX.yaml` in the same folder. E.g.:
+
+```plain
+ $ cat <<EOF > /home/ledgersmb/conf/ledgersmb.100.yaml
+ logging:
+   file: ledgersmb.logging
+ EOF
+```
+
+[Documentation with respect to the available configuration
+keys](https://github.com/ledgersmb/LedgerSMB/blob/master/doc/conf/ledgersmb.yaml)
+is available in the LedgerSMB repository.
+
+## Docker Compose with reverse proxy
+
+The `docker-compose-reverseproxy.yml` file shows a docker-compose setup
+which adds an Nginx reverse proxy configuration on top of the base
+`docker-compose.yml` configuration file. If the content of this repository
+is cloned into the current directory (`git clone https://github.com/ledgersmb/ledgersmb-docker.git ; cd ledgersmb-docker`), it can be used as:
+
+```plain
+ $ docker-compose \
+    -f docker-compose.yml \
+    -f docker-compose-reverseproxy.yml \
+       up -d
+```
+
+This setup can be used in combination with an image which runs the
+Certbot certificate renewal process *and* Nginx to do TLS termination. The
+default reverse proxy is mostly an example; it publishes on
+[http://localhost:8080/](http://localhost:8080/).
+
+An example of such an image can be found at
+[https://github.com/jonasalfredsson/docker-nginx-certbot](https://github.com/jonasalfredsson/docker-nginx-certbot),
+which is published on Docker Hub as
+[jonasal/nginx-certbot](https://hub.docker.com/r/jonasal/nginx-certbot).
+
+**Upgrade note** When upgrading this setup, please remove the volume ending
+in `_lsmbdata` before starting the upgraded containers. Without that, the
+webcontent won't be upgraded! E.g.:
+
+```plain
+  $ docker-compose \
+      -f docker-compose.yml \
+      -f docker-compose-reverseproxy.yml \
+        rm -s -f -v && \
+    docker volume rm ledgersmb-docker_lsmbdata && \
+    docker-compose \
+      -f docker-compose.yml \
+      -f docker-compose-reverseproxy.yml \
+        pull && \
+    docker-compose \
+      -f docker-compose.yml \
+      -f docker-compose-reverseproxy.yml \
+        up -d
