<p>Create a directory with config.json inside, and make sure that its owner has a uid of 1000.</p>
<pre><code>mkdir data
touch data/config.json
# Owned by user ID of Docker container (1000)
chown -R 1000 data
# all access (for creating json database file data/updates.json)
chmod 700 data
# read access only
chmod 400 data/config.json
</code></pre>
<p>Configuration for porkbun in config.json</p>
<pre><code>{
  "settings": [
    {
      "provider": "porkbun",
      "domain": "domain.com",
      "host": "@",
      "api_key": "PORKBUN SECRET KEY",
      "secret_api_key": "PORKBUN API KEY",
