+### Configurations
+## InfluxDB config
+Configuration can be done with the influxdb.env file.
+
+## Grafana config
+Configuration is done in the grafana.env file. To connect it to the influxdb database the 'influxdb' hostname can be used: http://influxdb:8086
+
+## Node-red
+Node red configuration has to be done in the docker volume itself.
+
+## MQTT
+The mosquitto configuration has to be done in the docker volume itself.
