+### Central Build
+
+The packages / container built by GitHub are accessible for users that are logged into the GitHub Container Registry (GHCR) with a Personal Access token via Docker.
+Run `docker login ghcr.io` to start that process. [The complete docs on logging in can be found here.](https://docs.github.com/de/packages/working-with-a-github-packages-registry/working-with-the-container-registry) 
+The application can than be simply started with `docker compose up --pull`.
+Please note that some configuration with a `.env` is necessary.
+
+### Local Build
+
+The application can be locally build by starting the `rebuild-and-start.bat`, if `poetry` and `docker-compose` is installed.
+This will build a current `*.whl` and build the Docker container locally.
+The configuration that start like this is the `local-docker-compose.yaml`.
+Please note that some configuration with a `.env` is necessary.
+
+## Application Settings
+
+### Docker configuration / Environmental-Variables
+The current design of this application suggests that it is started inside a `docker-compose` configuration.
+For `docker-compose` this is commonly done by providing a `.env` file in the root folder.
+
+To use the environmental configuration start an application part with the `ENV` argument (`webserver ENV`). 
+
+```dotenv
+# Defines the container registry used. Default: "ghcr.io/fhswf/aki_prj23_transparenzregister"
+CR=ghcr.io/fhswf/aki_prj23_transparenzregister
+
+# main is the tag the main branch is taged with and is currently in use
+TAG=latest

+# Configures the access port for the webserver.

+PYTHON_SQLITE_PATH=PathToSQLite3.db

+
+### Local execution / config file
+
+Create a `*.json` in the root of this repo with the following structure 
+    (values to be replaces by desired config):
+Please note that an `sqlite` entry overwrites the `postgres` entry.
+To use the `*.json` use the path to it as an argument when using an entrypoint (`webserver secrets.json`).

-The prefix `PYTHON_` can be customized by setting a different `prefix` when constructing the ConfigProvider.
+We support both sqlite and postgres because a local db is filled in about 10% of the time the remote db needs to be completed.
+Even tough we use the `sqlite` for testing the connection can't manage multithreading or multiprocessing.
+This clashes with the webserver. For production mode use the `postgres`-db.
