 # Wallabag
 
-This app allows you to save websites, tag them and access them through an android app, which is accessible offline (after sync). 
-
 ## Overview
-Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/wallabag/wallabag
-Project: 
-Docker Compose Example: https://github.com/wallabag/docker
-Proxy Port: 80
 
+Wallabag is a self-hosted read-it-later application: save web pages,
+tag them, and read them later (including offline via the Android/iOS
+apps after sync). This stack runs Wallabag with a MariaDB database.
+
+## Project Details
+
+-   **Project Repository:** [github.com/wallabag/wallabag](https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag)
+-   **Container Image:** [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/wallabag/wallabag)
+-   **Compose Example:** [github.com/wallabag/docker](https://github.com/wallabag/docker)
+-   **Documentation:** [doc.wallabag.org](https://doc.wallabag.org/)
+-   **Reverse Proxy Port:** `80`
+
+## Getting Started
+
+1. Copy `sample.env` and set `WALLABAG_DOMAIN` and the database
+   passwords
+2. Start the containers: `docker compose up -d` (first start runs the
+   database install and can take a minute or two)
+3. Open http://localhost:8082 in your browser and sign in with the
+   default `wallabag` / `wallabag` account — change its password
+   immediately
+
+## Environment Variable Notes
+
+    WALLABAG_DOMAIN – public base URL; must match how users reach the
+      site or logins and asset links break
+    WALLABAG_DB_NAME / WALLABAG_DB_USER / WALLABAG_DB_PASSWORD –
+      database name and credentials, shared by both services
+    WALLABAG_MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD – MariaDB root password; the wallabag
+      container also needs it to create the database on first start
+    WALLABAG_MAILER_DSN / WALLABAG_FROM_EMAIL – optional SMTP settings
+      for password-reset and notification emails
+    WALLABAG_PORT – host port for the web UI (default 8082)
+
+See the [parameter documentation](https://doc.wallabag.org/en/admin/parameters.html)
+for the full list of `SYMFONY__ENV__` settings.
+
+## Volume Notes
+
+-   `/var/www/wallabag/web/assets/images` — saved article images;
+    stored at `${VOL_PATH:-/data}/wallabag/images` on the host
+-   `/var/lib/mysql` — MariaDB data; stored at
+    `${VOL_PATH:-/data}/wallabag/db` on the host
+
+## Network Notes
+
+Requires proxy network. The database is only attached to the stack's
+`internal` network.
+
+## Docker Run
+
+Not recommended — Wallabag needs its MariaDB companion. Use the
+compose file.
+
+## Additional Notes / Gotchas
+
+-   This is a `_dev` stack — experimental, not yet production-ready.
+-   The default login after install is `wallabag` / `wallabag`.
+-   `SYMFONY__ENV__` variables are baked into Wallabag's config on
+    startup; after changing one, restart the container.
