   Run our [Docker container](https://github.com/simeononsecurity/docker-rtklib-onocoy-rtkdirect), ensuring that you provide the necessary environment variables and parameters:
 
+  > You don't have to specify both Onocoy and RTKDirect credentials. The backend script is smart and looks to see if they have been set. You can use one or both and this should function perfectly.
+  
+  > If the environment variable `RTKDIRECT_USE_NTRIPSERVER` is set to `true`, the docker container will use **NTRIPSERVER** for RTKDirect, otherwise it'll use **RTKLIB** for the connection to  RTKDirect. The container will still use RTKLIB for the splitting of the feed no matter what.
+  > `LAT`, `LONG`, `ELEVATION`, `INSTRAMENT`, and `ANTENNA` are all optional and are only used if RTKLIB is being used and NTRIPSERVER is not.
+  
+  > You may specify `TCP_OUTPUT_PORT` to change the tcp server's output port if using docker's [host networking mode](https://docs.docker.com/network/#drivers). Otherwise use the appropriate docker [port mappings](https://docs.docker.com/network/#published-ports).
+  
+  > You can host any RTKLIB or tcp server instance on another machine and retreive the data using our dockers tcp client mode by defining `TCP_INPUT_IP` and `TCP_INPUT_PORT`. In which you'll specify your tcp servers ip and port.
