+While many aspects of this docker compose setup can be configured you usually only need to adapt the following three settings in `.env`:
 * `CLUSTERCOCKPIT_BRANCH` (Default: `develop`): The branch to checkout from ClusterCockpit git repository. May also be a tag.
-* `APP_CLUSTERCOCKPIT_INIT` (Default: true): Wether the Symfony tree (located at `./data/symfony`) should be deleted and freshly cloned and setup on every container startup.
-* `APP_ENVIRONMENT` (Default: `dev`): The Symfony App environment. With `dev` you get a Debugging Toolbar and more extensive error handling. Using `prod` is a setup for productions usage.
