+## Configuration
+
+Webdis is configured by a configuration file in JSON format, provided to the server as a command-line parameter:
+```sh
+./webdis /path/to/webdis.json
+```
+
+At start-up, Webdis will look for a file named `webdis.json` in the current directory if no file is specified on the command line.
+
+This repository comes with a sample configuration file named `webdis.json`, to be used for local evaluation. Another file, `webdis.prod.json`, is provided as a starting point to build a production configuration file. Do **not** use either of these files in production without reviewing them.
+
+The various features of Webdis are documented in this README.
