```
- **(Advanced)** If you would like to hand craft a config file **instead** of downloading the example config file, create a blank `headscale` configuration in the headscale directory to edit:
```shell
touch ./config/config.yaml
```
Modify the config file to your preferences before launching Docker container.
Here are some settings that you likely want:
```yaml
# Change to your hostname or host IP
server_url: http://your-host-name:8080
# Listen to 0.0.0.0 so it's accessible outside the container
metrics_listen_addr: 0.0.0.0:9090
# The default /var/lib/headscale path is not writable in the container
noise:
private_key_path: /etc/headscale/noise_private.key
# The default /var/lib/headscale path is not writable in the container
derp:
private_key_path: /etc/headscale/private.key
# The default /var/run/headscale path is not writable in the container
unix_socket: /etc/headscale/headscale.sock
# The default /var/lib/headscale path is not writable in the container
database.type: sqlite3
database.sqlite.path: /etc/headscale/db.sqlite
```
Alternatively, you can mount `/var/lib` and `/var/run` from your host system by adding
`--volume $(pwd)/lib:/var/lib/headscale` and `--volume $(pwd)/run:/var/run/headscale`
in the next step.
