 - **SHA_** : fingerprints of tarballs
 
 #### Environment variables
-- **HOSTNAME** : the hostname displayed in the honeypot. 
-- **DL_LIMIT** : the maximum size (in bytes!) of a stored downloaded file (0 = no limit). 
-- **FACING_IP** : your IP (you have to set it manually because cowrie fails to detect it when running in Docker). 
-- **JSON_LOG** : disables json logging if set to False.

+#### How to configure
+You should provide your own configuration file from this base : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/micheloosterhof/cowrie/master/cowrie.cfg.dist
+You can mount this single file to your Docker container.
 
 #### Volumes
 - **/cowrie/dl** : where downloads are stored.
 - **/cowrie/log** : cowrie and tty sessions logs.
-- **/cowrie/custom** : feel free to customize cowrie structure.
+- **/cowrie/cowrie.cfg** : cowrie configuration file. **Provide yours!**
+- **/custom** : customize cowrie structure with your own files
