+= Important Configuration Notes

+:description: This page provides some important configuration notes.
+
+== Introduction
+
+{description}
+
+Due to this version's Docker-only approach, some aspects of configuring your ownCloud Classic Server have changed. With a few exceptions, using environment variables is the only way to configure the instance.
+
+== Environment Variables
+
+The majority of config keys that are provided by ownCloud can be found in the xref:configuration/envvars/envvars.adoc[Environment Variables] documentation. For the few exceptions, the traditional configuration key approach must be used. The documentation for the configuration keys also refers to the corresponding environment variables.
+
+== Using Configuration Keys
+
+IMPORTANT: This approach should only be used if there is no environment variable available. This is noted in the relevant section of the documentation.
+
+=== Preparation
+
+In order to add configuration keys instead of using environment variables, some preparation is required.
+
+* Change to the mounted docker volume where the configuration is stored.
++
+[source,bash]
+----
+cd <mount_point>/config
+----
+
+* Next, create a new file with the same owner and permissions as the existing files. The naming must follow the scheme `<name>.config.php`. Replace `<name>` with the name of choice but consider that the order in which configuration files are read is alphabetical.
++
+IMPORTANT: If a key/value pair exists in a file, it will take precedence over any existing ones defined in a config file that is read earlier. It is therefore crucial that you use a name that makes the file last read.
+
+* This file must have the following mandatory content:
++
+[source,php]
+----
+<?php
+$CONFIG = array (
+
+);
+----
+
+=== Add own Configuration Keys
+
+Once you have finished preparing the file, you can add the relevant configuration keys manually.
+
+* Add your configuration keys and values to the array as usual.
++
+CAUTION: Be careful not to overwrite any existing values from other files defined via environment variables. These variables are activated and configured when the container starts up.

 With the Kerberos app, you can reuse the authentication ticket generated from a user's Windows domain login for ownCloud and access file server resources via ownCloud without re-authentication.
 
+IMPORTANT: The Docker image does not provide the required Kerberos `krb5` PHP extension and the `krb5-user` CLI tool. This tool is an actual requirement, the Kerberos implementation in the WND app requires the `kvno` command which is contained in the package installed.

 == General Information
 
 When using the Kerberos app, the Windows login session from the user is taken to log in to ownCloud. This is very convenient, as the user does not need to re-authenticate for using ownCloud as he already has authenticated to his Domain. In addition by using the Kerberos ticket, the user can also use file resources via the xref:enterprise/external_storage/windows-network-drive_configuration.adoc[Windows Network Drive (WND)] app without the need to re-authenticate. This generates a seamless user experience. This is done by the configuration made, which enables the webserver to make the ticket available for PHP for further processing.
