+- The development container is based on the PHP dev container image in a variant that includes an Apache2

   is defined in the Dockerfile.

   port 8080 from your local development machine (http://localhost:8080/). This is also the url as configured 
   in local.config.php. You should be able to log in with user 'admin@friendica.local' and password 'admin'.

+- Important values are defined in the .env file within the .devcontainer folder and applied during creation wherever possible. The
   environment is also available during run/debug time to the application.
 
 - XDebug can be started by the launch configuration 'Listen for Xdebug'. The launch configuration is in .vscode/launch.json
   (this file is added to git).
 
+- The Apache server in the dev container is reachable with http on the ports 80 and 8080 and with https on port 443. The
+  url used for Friendica is defined in local.config.php (currently localhost:8080) and any subsequent request will be redirected 
+  to this url. To change the url to one you like you need to modify the url in local.config.php which can be done by
+  setting the values in the .env file accordingly and rebuilding the container.
+
+- The hostname friendica.local is used for the ceritificate and added to the hosts file in the container. .local is a reserved TLD
+  for mDNS and if you can use this depends on your network configuration. For developing and debugging using forwarded ports 
+  (localhost:8080) works fine.
+
 
 Open points:
 
 - Cron jobs / worker are not available. For a dev environment those are disabled by default (but can be optionally 
   enabled).
 
-- The creation of the container runs the postCreate.sh script. This includes a few setup steps that do not need to 
-  be runned on a container rebuild (but on creation of the container). I plan to seperate steps from creation and rebuild 
-  but it is not really a problem at the moment (it just gives some output stating Error where no error is).
-
 - Passing values from the local development machine (with $localEnv) does not seem to work. This would be handy to apply
   a few settings differently based on user choice. 
 
 - The dev container does not have an email MTA. 
 
-- The devcontainer does currently not support TLS.
-
 - There are still a bit too much warnings logged at startup but that doesn't seem to be a problem.
 
 - Only the first launch configuration ('Listen for Xdebug') is working.
 
-- There is no port exposed on the container (only forwarded ports used). It would be handy to have the dev instance being able
-  to work as a normal instance in the fediverse.
