 ## Introduction
 
 EMHASS (Energy Management for Home Assistant) is an optimization tool designed for residential households. The package uses a Linear Programming approach to optimize energy usage while considering factors such as electricity prices, power generation from solar panels, and energy storage from batteries. EMHASS provides a high degree of configurability, making it easy to integrate with Home Assistant and other smart home systems. Whether you have solar panels, energy storage, or just a controllable load, EMHASS can provide an optimized daily schedule for your devices, allowing you to save money and minimize your environmental impact.

+You can also install EMHASS using Docker as a container. This can be in the same machine as Home Assistant (if your running Home Assistant as a Docker container) or in a different distant machine. The "share" folder is where EMHASS stores the config.json file. In the examples below adjust the "-v" volume mappings to reflect where your path to the local host directory needs to be mapped to.
+To install first pull the latest image:
 ```bash
 # pull Docker image
 docker pull ghcr.io/davidusb-geek/emhass:latest
-# run Docker image, mounting config.json and secrets_emhass.yaml from host
-docker run --rm -it --restart always  -p 5000:5000 --name emhass-container -v ./config.json:/share/config.json -v ./secrets_emhass.yaml:/app/secrets_emhass.yaml ghcr.io/davidusb-geek/emhass:latest

 ```
 *Note it is not recommended to install the latest EMHASS image with `:latest` *(as you would likely want to control when you update EMHASS version)*. Instead, find the [latest version tag](https://github.com/davidusb-geek/emhass/pkgs/container/emhass) (E.g: `v0.2.1`) and replace `latest`*

 Before running the docker container, make sure you have a designated folder for emhass on your host device and a `secrets_emhass.yaml` file. You can get a example of the secrets file from [`secrets_emhass(example).yaml`](https://github.com/davidusb-geek/emhass/blob/master/secrets_emhass(example).yaml) file on this repository.

 #### Docker, things to note 
 
-- You can create a `config.json` file prior to running emhass. *(obtain a example from: [config_defaults.json](https://github.com/davidusb-geek/emhass/blob/enhass-standalone-addon-merge/src/emhass/data/config_defaults.json)* Alteratively, you can insert your parameters into the configuration page on the EMHASS web server. (for EMHASS to auto create a config.json) With either option, the volume mount `-v ./config.json:/share/config.json` should be applied to make sure your config is stored on the host device. (to be not deleted when the EMHASS container gets removed/image updated)*

(to be not deleted when the EMHASS container gets removed/image updated)*
 
 - If you wish to keep a local, semi-persistent copy of the EMHASS-generated data, create a local folder on your device, then mount said folder inside the container.  
   ```bash
   #create data folder 
   mkdir -p ~/emhass/data 
-  docker run -it --restart always -p 5000:5000 -e LOCAL_COSTFUN="profit" -v ~/emhass/config.json:/app/config.json -v ~/emhass/data:/data  -v ~/emhass/secrets_emhass.yaml:/app/secrets_emhass.yaml --name DockerEMHASS <REPOSITORY:TAG>

   ```
     
 - If you wish to set the web_server's homepage optimization diagrams to a timezone other than UTC, set `TZ` environment variable on docker run:
   ```bash
-  docker run -it --restart always -p 5000:5000  -e TZ="Europe/Paris" -v ~/emhass/config.json:/app/config.json -v ~/emhass/secrets_emhass.yaml:/app/secrets_emhass.yaml --name DockerEMHASS <REPOSITORY:TAG>
