-## Additional Configuration
+## Configuration Details
 
-The application uses environment variables for additional configurations, such as the Tesseract data prefix, which can be adjusted in the `docker-compose.yml` file to suit your setup needs.
+### Environment Variables
+
+The application uses several environment variables to configure its behavior:
+
+- `FLASK_ENV`: Sets the environment for the Flask application. In this case, `development` for enabling debug features.
+- `FLASK_APP`: Points to the entry file of the Flask application. Here, it's set to `app.py`.
+- `TESSDATA_PREFIX`: Specifies the directory where the Tesseract OCR data is stored, which is crucial for OCR functionality.
+
+### Port Configuration
+
+The Docker container is configured to expose the Flask application on port `4000` of the host machine, mapping it to port 5000 inside the container. This mapping is defined in the `docker-compose.yml` file, allowing the application to be accessible via `http://localhost:4000`.
+
+### Volume Management
+
+- **Uploads Folder**: The `./uploads` folder on the host is mapped to `/app/uploads` inside the Docker container. This is where uploaded PDF files are stored temporarily during processing.
+- **Outputs Folder**: Similarly, the `./outputs` folder on the host is mapped to `/app/outputs` inside the container. This folder stores the converted Word documents, making them accessible outside the container.
+- **Logs Folder**: The `./logs` folder is used to store log files generated by the application, providing insights into its operations and any errors.
+
+This setup ensures that data persists across container restarts and is easily accessible for both inputs and outputs.
