The `-d` flag lets the container run in detached mode. You now need to supply a `conduit.toml` config file, an example can be found [here](../conduit-example.toml).
You can pass in different env vars to change config values on the fly. You can even configure Conduit completely by using env vars, but for that you need
to pass `-e CONDUIT_CONFIG=""` into your container. For an overview of possible values, please take a look at the `docker-compose.yml` file.

If you just want to test Conduit for a short time, you can use the `--rm` flag, which will clean up everything related to your container after you stop it.
## Docker-compose
If the docker command is not for you or your setup, you can also use one of the provided `docker-compose` files. Depending on your proxy setup, use the [`docker-compose.traefik.yml`](docker-compose.traefik.yml) and [`docker-compose.override.traefik.yml`](docker-compose.override.traefik.yml) for Traefik (don't forget to remove `.traefik` from the filenames) or the normal [`docker-compose.yml`](../docker-compose.yml) for every other reverse proxy. Additional info about deploying
Conduit can be found [here](../DEPLOY.md).
If the `docker run` command is not for you or your setup, you can also use one of the provided `docker-compose` files.
Depending on your proxy setup, you can use one of the following files;
- If you already have a `traefik` instance set up, use [`docker-compose.for-traefik.yml`](docker-compose.for-traefik.yml)
- If you don't have a `traefik` instance set up (or any other reverse proxy), use [`docker-compose.with-traefik.yml`](docker-compose.with-traefik.yml)
- For any other reverse proxy, use [`docker-compose.yml`](docker-compose.yml)
When picking the traefik-related compose file, rename it so it matches `docker-compose.yml`, and
rename the override file to `docker-compose.override.yml`. Edit the latter with the values you want
for your server.
Additional info about deploying Conduit can be found [here](../DEPLOY.md).

### Use Traefik as Proxy
As a container user, you probably know about Traefik. It is a easy to use reverse proxy for making containerized app and services available through the web. With the
two provided files, [`docker-compose.traefik.yml`](docker-compose.traefik.yml) and [`docker-compose.override.traefik.yml`](docker-compose.override.traefik.yml), it is
equally easy to deploy and use Conduit, with a little caveat. If you already took a look at the files, then you should have seen the `well-known` service, and that is
the little caveat. Traefik is simply a proxy and loadbalancer and is not able to serve any kind of content, but for Conduit to federate, we need to either expose ports
`443` and `8448` or serve two endpoints `.well-known/matrix/client` and `.well-known/matrix/server`.

With the service `well-known` we use a single `nginx` container that will serve those two files.
