Hi 🙂

I have installed the last version of docker ghost image…

But I simply can find the config fil? (config.production.json)

Can someone tell me where to find it?

It’s because I want to set some settings…

[config|690x460](https://forum.ghost.org/uploads/short-url/w5Z4Vy1fCuWaHQIBWqY4xFNMjHg.png)

I have look all the dirs, and there is no config file…

**apps data images logs settings themes** → No config file

Afaik the Docker image doesn’t use a config file, it sets all config via ENV vars as shown in your first image

This is how you bind a volume for your configs using docker:
