There are a huge amount of configuration variables and it is recommended that you get comfortable for a few hours with the loki::NG Documentation
You will eventually based on your usage case switch over to SETUP_TYPE=MANUAL and edit your own loki-ng.ini. While I've tried to make this as easy to use as possible, once in production you'll find much better success with large implementations with this approach.
By Default this image is ready to run out of the box, without having to alter any of the settings with the exception of the _HOSTNAME vars. You can also change the majority of these settings from within the Manager. There are instances where these variables would want to be set if you are running multiple handlers or need to enforce a Global Setting for one specific installation.
| Parameter | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
SETUP_TYPE |
AUTO to auto generate loki-ng.ini on bootup, otherwise let admin control configuration. |

The following ports are exposed.
| Port | Description |

For debugging and maintenance purposes you may want access the containers shell.
bash docker exec -it (whatever your container name is) bash
