You can also create a `config.yml` file in the directory and write the configuration parameters in it, Syncplay will automatically read it when it starts, avoiding the need to type a large number of parameters in the command line.

## Configure File
If you configure a lot of options, it will be quite troublesome and error-prone to enter a large number of command line parameters every time you start. At this time, you can write them into the configuration file. Create a `config.yml` file in the working directory. It uses YAML format and supports all parameters in the command line. Syncplay will automatically read and load it when starting, but it should be noted that if the same parameters are specified on the command line, will override the configuration file's options.

## Environment Variables
The Syncplay container also supports configuration through environment variables. It supports three types of fields: numbers, strings, and boolean, this means that `permanent-rooms` is not supported. Environment variables are named in uppercase letters, and `-` is replaced by `_` , boolean values are represented by `ON` or `TRUE`. The following is an example of using environment variables.
```bash
docker run -d --net=host --restart=always --name=syncplay \
You may have noticed that we support three configuration methods: command line arguments, configuration file and environment variables. Their priority is from high to low, that is, the command line arguments will override the options of the configuration file, and the configuration file will override the environment variables. You can use them together.
## Docker Compose
Using `docker-compose` to deploy Syncplay is a more elegant way. You need to create a `docker-compose.yml` configuration file and write the following example.

For some reason, you may need to change the path of the configuration files or working directory. This is possible in the Syncplay container, which requires you to specify it using environment variables.
+ `TEMP_DIR` ：Temporary directory, it does not need to be persisted, defaults to `/tmp/`
+ `WORK_DIR` ：The working directory, which stores data related to Syncplay, defaults to `/data/`
+ `CERT_DIR` ：Certificate directory, which is used to store TLS certificates and private key files, defaults to `/certs/`
+ `CONFIG` ：Configuration file, which defines the YAML configuration read by the bootstrap script, defaults to `config.yml`
