 # Important note

-New major image versions (e.g. v4, v5, v6) always come with a new major version of node! This might lead to problems when you update your ioBroker container by simply recreating it from the new major version image! To avoid having trouble with recompiling adapters, it is recommended to upgrade your container manually with backup and restore procedure. For more details please see the maintenance part of the new [ioBroker Docker image docs](https://docs.buanet.de/iobroker-docker-image/docs/#maintenance).

+# Important note
+
+New major image versions (e.g. v4, v5, v6) always include a new major version of node! This might lead to issues when you update your ioBroker container by simply recreating it from the new major version image! To avoid having trouble with recompiling adapters, it is recommended to upgrade your container manually with backup and restore procedure. For more details please see the maintenance part of the new [ioBroker Docker image docs](https://docs.buanet.de/iobroker-docker-image/docs/#maintenance).

+# What is ioBroker?
+
+IoBroker is a open source IoT platform written in JavaScript that easily connects smarthome components from different manufactures. With the help of plugins (called: "adapters") ioBroker is able to communicate with a big variety of IoT hardware and services using different protocols and APIs.<br>
+All data is stored in a central database that all adapters can access. With this it is very easy to build up logical connections, automation scripts and beautiful visualisations.<br>
+For further details please check out [iobroker.net](https://www.iobroker.net).
+
+# How to use this image?
+
+## Running from command-line
+
+For taking a first look at iobroker on docker it would be enough to simply run the following basic docker run command:
+
+```
+docker run -p 8081:8081 --name iobroker -h iobroker buanet/iobroker
+```
+
+## Running with docker-compose
+
+When using docker-compose define the iobroker service like this:
+
+```
+version: '2'
+
+services:
+  iobroker:
+    container_name: iobroker
+    image: buanet/iobroker
+    hostname: iobroker
+    restart: always
+    ports:
+      - "8081:8081"
+```
+
+## Persistent data
+
+To make your ioBroker configuration persistent it is recommended to mount a volume or path to `/opt/iobroker`.
+
+On command-line add 
+```
+-v iobrokerdata:/opt/iobroker
+```
+On docker-compose add
+```
+    volumes:
+      - iobrokerdata:/opt/iobroker
+```
+
+## Configuration via environment variables
+
+You could use environment variables to auto configure your ioBroker container on startup. 
+
+### Configure ioBroker application:
+
+* `IOB_ADMINPORT` (optional, default: 8081) Set ioBroker adminport on startup
+* `IOB_BACKITUP_EXTDB` (optional) Set "true" for backing up external databases in ioBroker backitup adapter (Make sure your have read the [docs](https://docs.buanet.de/iobroker-docker-image/docs/#backup))
+* `IOB_MULTIHOST` (optional) Set ioBroker "master" or "slave" for multihost support (needs additional config for objectsdb and statesdb!)
+* `IOB_OBJECTSDB_HOST` (optional, default: 127.0.0.1) Set host for ioBroker objects db
+* `IOB_OBJECTSDB_PORT` (optional, default: 9001) Set port for ioBroker objects db
+* `IOB_OBJECTSDB_TYPE` (optional, default: jsonl) Set type of ioBroker objects db, could be "jsonl", "file" (deprecated) or "redis" ([not officially supported](https://github.com/ioBroker/ioBroker#databases)).

+
+## Notes about Docker networks
+
+The examples above are dealing with the Docker default bridge network. In general there are [some reasons](https://docs.docker.com/network/bridge/#differences-between-user-defined-bridges-and-the-default-bridge) why it might be the better choice to use a user-defined bridge network. 
+
+Using a Docker bridge network works fine for taking a first look and with most of the ioBroker adapters (if you don't forget to redirect the ports your adapters use).<br>
+But some ioBroker adapters are using techniques like [Multicast](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast) or [Broadcast](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcasting_(networking)) for automatic detection of IoT devices<br>
+In this case it may be useful to switch to [host](https://docs.docker.com/network/host/) or [MACVLAN](https://docs.docker.com/network/macvlan/) network. 
+
+For more information about networking with Docker please refer to the [official Docker docs](https://docs.docker.com/network/).

-The examples above are dealing with the Docker default bridge network. In general there are [some reasons](https://docs.docker.com/network/bridge/#differences-between-user-defined-bridges-and-the-default-bridge) why it might be the better choice to use a user-defined bridge network. 
-
-Using a Docker bridge network works fine for taking a first look and with most of the ioBroker adapters (if you don't forget to redirect the ports your adapters use).<br>
-But some ioBroker adapters are using techniques like [Multicast](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast) or [Broadcast](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcasting_(networking)) for automatic detection of IoT devices<br>
-In this case it may be useful to switch to [host](https://docs.docker.com/network/host/) or [MACVLAN](https://docs.docker.com/network/macvlan/) network.
