 =========
 
 This is the source code for [Styx](https://styx.blog).
+
+This application runs on a SQLite3 local DB in debug mode by default. To override this
+behavior without changing the code, you can configure the application in a JSON file
+located at`~/.styxrc`. Once DEBUG is turned off in that file, you can provide a SECRET_KEY
+and DB_PASSWORD. Styx does expect a Postgres database named `styx`, but that can easily
+be configured at a later date.
+
+The server was configured using [this tutorial](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-django-with-postgres-nginx-and-gunicorn-on-debian-9)

+That tutorial has a bunch of helpful debugging tips at the end.
