+
+The container listens on port 8080 and expects a volume on `/data`.
+To configure it, do one of the following:
+
+* Run the setup wizard as usual.
+  It will store all configuration in `/data/etc/icingaweb2`.
+  Hint: `docker run --rm -v icingaweb:/data icinga/icingaweb2 icingacli setup token create`
+* Provide configuration files in `/data/etc/icingaweb2` by yourself.
+  Consult the [Icinga Web 2 configuration documentation]
+  on which .ini files there are.
+* Provide environment variables as shown above.
+
+### Environment variables
+
+`icingaweb.enabledModules` is a comma-separated set
+of the only modules to be enabled.
+
+Variables like `icingaweb.dir.subdir.file.section.option=value` create .ini
+files like `/data/etc/icingaweb2/dir/subdir/file.ini` with content like this:
+
+```ini
+[section]
+option = value
+```
+
+Consult the [Icinga Web 2 configuration documentation]
+on which .ini files there are.
