+## About each configuration
+
+### Server configuration settings
+
+  - `indexingInterval`: This is the time in minutes the system waits before checking for filesystem changes. (used in search only)
+  - `numImageProcessors`: 
+  socket: ""
+  tlsKey: ""
+  tlsCert: ""
+  enableThumbnails: false
+  resizePreview: true
+  typeDetectionByHeader: true
+  port: 8080
+  baseURL: "/"
+  address: ""
+  log: "stdout"
+  - `database`: This is the database file path + filename that will be created if it does not already exist. If it exists, it will use the existing file.
+  - `root`: "/srv"
