# How to use this image
```bash
docker run --link some-mysql:db -d %%IMAGE%%
```
Now you can get access to fpm running on port 9000 inside the container. If you want to access it from the Internets, we recommend using a reverse proxy in front. You can find more information on that on the [docker-compose](#docker-compose) section.
The following environment variables are also honored for configuring your Known instance:
- `-e KNOWN_DB_HOST=...` (defaults to the IP and port of the linked `mysql` container)
- `-e KNOWN_DB_USER=...` (defaults to "root")
- `-e KNOWN_DB_PASSWORD=...` (defaults to the value of the `MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD` environment variable from the linked `mysql` container)
- `-e KNOWN_DB_NAME=...` (defaults to "known")
- `-e MAIL_HOST=...`
- `-e MAIL_PORT=...`
- `-e MAIL_SECURE=...` ("starttls" for instance)
- `-e MAIL_USER=...`
- `-e MAIL_PASS=...`
If the `KNOWN_DB_NAME` specified does not already exist on the given MySQL server, it will be created automatically upon startup of the `%%REPO%%` container, provided that the `KNOWN_DB_USER` specified has the necessary permissions to create it.
If you'd like to use an external database instead of a linked `mysql` container, specify the hostname and port with `KNOWN_DB_HOST` along with the password in `KNOWN_DB_PASSWORD` and the username in `KNOWN_DB_USER` (if it is something other than `root`):
```console
$ docker run --name some-%%REPO%% -e KNOWN_DB_HOST=10.1.2.3:3306 \
-e KNOWN_DB_USER=... -e KNOWN_DB_PASSWORD=... -d %%REPO%%
```
## Via docker-compose
You can use a setup that is used in production at [IndieHosters/known](https://github.com/indiehosters/known).
## Installation
Once started, you'll arrive at the configuration wizard. Follow the steps as indicated.
