 A simple docker image for configuring nginx with environment variables.
 
 ## Usage
-This image does not ship with a default configuration.
-To get started place your nginx config in `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf`
-and your normal server configurations in `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/`.
-
-Every configuration file in `/etc/nginx/sites-available/` will get
-passed to `envsubst` and written to `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/`.
-
-To specify which variables to substitute place a file
-`/environment_variables.txt` in the docker container with all variables
-which should be passed to envsubst.
+Mount you whole nginx configuration into /etc/nginx.tmpl.
+The configuration files can contain environment variables compatible
+with `envsubst`, list these variables in a file `/etc/envsubst.conf`.
+Additionally, the server gets reloaded when a update to one of the
+referenced certificates happens.
 
 ## Minimal Example
 
 ```sh
-docker run \
-    -v "$PWD/nginx.conf":/etc/nginx/nginx.conf \
-    -v "$PWD/server.conf":/etc/nginx/sites-available/server.conf \
-    -v "$PWD/index.html":/var/www/html/index.html \
-    -e DOMAIN_NAME=localhost -p 80:80 \
-    redxef/nginx-envsubst:latest
+cd example
+docker run --rm -it \
+    -e DOMAIN_NAME=localhost \
+    -p 80:80 -p 443:443
+    -v "$PWD/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx.tmpl/nginx.conf" \
+    -v "$PWD/envsubst.conf:/etc/envsubst.conf" \
+    -v "$PWD/cert:/cert" \
+    redxef/nginx-envsubst
 ```
