+## Environment Variables
+
+If you use aurweb locally, you'll need to create a valid `AUR_CONFIG` by copying
+[conf/config.dev](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/aurweb/-/tree/pu/conf/config.dev)
+to `conf/config` (or anywhere else) and configuring the copy for your host
+development environment:
+
+    $ export AUR_CONFIG="$(pwd)/conf/config"
+    $ export AUR_CONFIG_DEFAULTS="$(pwd)/conf/config.defaults"
+
+Suggestion: Craft a second config with Docker details, so that you can
+test directly against Docker databases or manipulate the production DB
+from the host.
