Customize APP config (conf.php) for PrivateBin

Hi, I'm a bit of a newbie regarding selfhosting and Docker. I've only ran a few Dockers on my NAS in the past. The PrivateBin app is installed and can be accessed without any problem. What I am trying to do is to configure PrivateBin's settings. Previously on my NAS, I just have to edit the conf.php file as instructed here (link) under the cfg folder. However, I couldn't find said directory or the conf.sample.php file inside Runtipi's directory. I've read the documentation for customizing the app's dockercompose and env file in https://runtipi.io/docs/guides/customize-app-config. However, I couldn't figure out how this applies to the case of PrivateBin. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

seems like the cfg dir of privatebin is not mapped by the runtipi-app. you will have to make a user-config for the app and add a line similar to https://github.com/gabrielesh/PrivateBin/blob/4cd075110bc8407ff19f8b40dc2ed9eb4b751075/docker-compose.yml#L11 so a docker-compose.yml in user-config/privatebin something like 
version: "3.7"
services:
  privatebin:
    volumes:
      - ${APP_DATA_DIR}/conf.php:/srv/cfg/conf.php
version: "3.7"
services:
  privatebin:
    volumes:
      - ${APP_DATA_DIR}/conf.php:/srv/cfg/conf.php

@InfBoumcyCastle Thanks a lot! I see, it is more straight forward than I thought for how user-config works. I got it mapped, however it seemed to create a conf.php folder directory instead of a .php file under runtipi/app-data/privatebin. I removed the conf.php directory with rm -r and created a new file conf.php with touch under the same directory. I then copy the settings from here and adjusted as I see fit. The settings work after the app is restarted!
