 Because Friendica links the administrator account to a specific mail address, you **have** to set a valid address for `MAILNAME`.
 
+## Logging settings
+
+Friendica logs to /var/log/friendica.log by default. This location inside the container should not be changed (and the corresponding setting
+in Friendica is disabled). The output of /var/log/friendica.log is available in the Docker log of the container (see Docker logging for 
+details). If you prefer you can still mount a file to /var/log/friendica.log into the container.

 ## Mail settings
 
 The binary `msmtp` is used for the mail support of Friendica.
