+### Configure InfluxDB with Docker
+
+To mount an InfluxDB configuration file and use it from within Docker:
+
+1. [Persist data outside the InfluxDB container](#persist-data-outside-the-influxdb-container).
+
+2. Use the command below to generate the default configuration file on the host file system:
+
+    ```sh
+    $ docker run \
+        --rm influxdb:2.0.4 \
+        influxd print-config > config.yml
+    ```
+
+3. Modify the default configuration, which will now be available under `$PWD`.
+
+4. Start the InfluxDB container:
+
+   ```sh
+   $ docker run -p 8086:8086 \
