# Application Setup

  * Environment variables can also be passed in a file named `env` in
    the `config` directory. This file is sourced by the shell.
  * The M/Monit configuration directories are extracted into
    subdirectories of /config (conf, db, docroot, logs) unless they
    already exist.
  * It is recommended to use nginx as an SSL proxy for security.

# Upgrading

  * The container will automatically run the M/Monit upgrade script if
    */config/version* indicates an older version was last run.

## TODO
  * Facilitate setup of a dataabase other than sqlite3.
