 ## Deploy
 
 A prebuilt container image is available at [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/spawnia/md-to-pdf).
+The container starts up the web service and listens for HTTP on port 8000.
+
 You can run it yourself like this:
 
-    docker run --publish=8000:8000 spawnia/md-to-pdf
+```shell
+docker run --publish=8000:8000 spawnia/md-to-pdf
+```
+
+You may configure the webserver through [Rocket environment variables](https://rocket.rs/guide/v0.5/configuration#environment-variables).
+For example, you could allow larger payloads by increasing the limit for form data:
+
+```dotenv
+ROCKET_LIMITS={form="1MiB"}
