+A server icon can be configured by setting the `ICON` variable to a URL to download or a container path. The image will be automatically downloaded (if a URL), scaled, and converted from any other image format:
 
+!!! example
+
+    Using `docker run`:
+    
+    ```
     docker run -d -e ICON=http://..../some/image.png ...
+    ```
+    
+    In compose file:
+    
+    ```yaml
+    environment:
+      ICON: http://..../some/image.png
+    ```
+    
+    Using a file from host filesystem:
+    
+    ```yaml
+    environment:
+      ICON: /icon.png
+      OVERRIDE_ICON: true
+    volumes:
+      ./icon.png:/icon.png
+    ```
 
-The server icon which has been set doesn't get overridden by default. It can be changed and overridden by setting `OVERRIDE_ICON` to `TRUE`.
-
-    docker run -d -e ICON=http://..../some/other/image.png -e OVERRIDE_ICON=TRUE...
+By default an existing `server-icon.png` file will not be replaced, that can be changed by setting `OVERRIDE_ICON` to "true".
