The container images will copy a file called `/config/postiz.env` to `/apps/.env` on startup.

# Create the container on command line

It is recommended to have a local directory where you save your `postiz.env` file, such as `/myContainers/postiz/config`, which is mounted as a volume.

```bash Using a configuration volume
docker create --name postiz -v /myContainers/postiz/config:/config -p 4200:4200 -p 3000:3000 ghcr.io/gitroomhq/postiz-app:latest
```

Alternatively, you can specify the variables one by one at creation time. This approach is not recommended
simply because it's a pain to manage, and sensitive keys get stored with the container definition, which is bad practice.

```bash At creation-time (not recommended)
docker create --name postiz \
  -e DATABASE_URL=postgres://... \
  -e REDIS_URL=redis:// \
  -e JWT_SECRET \
  ... \
  -p 4200:4200 \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  ghcr.io/gitroomhq/postiz-app:latest
```
