+## Beginner Guide
+
+### Use your own Keepalived config
+This image comes with a keepalived config file that can be easily customized via environment variables for a quick bootstrap,
+but setting your own keepalived.conf is possible. 2 options:
+
+- Link your config file at run time to `/container/service/keepalived/assets/keepalived.conf` :
+
+      docker run --volume /data/my-keepalived.conf:/container/service/keepalived/assets/keepalived.conf --detach osixia/keepalived:0.2.0
+
+- Add your config file by extending or cloning this image, please refer to the [Advanced User Guide](#advanced-user-guide)
+
+### Debug
+
+The container default log level is **info**.
+Available levels are: `none`, `error`, `warning`, `info`, `debug` and `trace`.
+
+Example command to run the container in `debug` mode:
+
+	docker run --detach osixia/keepalived:0.2.0 --loglevel debug
+
+See all command line options:
+
+	docker run osixia/keepalived:0.2.0 --help

 Environment variable can be set directly by adding the -e argument in the command line, for example :
 
-	docker run -e KEEPALIVED_INTERFACE="eno1" -e KEEPALIVED_PASSWORD="password!" \
-	-e KEEPALIVED_PRIORITY="100" -d osixia/keepalived
