 # pygeoapi configurator
 
-This plugin lets you read and write a [pygeoapi](https://pygeoapi.io/) configuration file on your local machine. 
+This plugin lets you read and write a [pygeoapi](https://pygeoapi.io/) configuration file on your local machine. You can deploy this configuration, by uploading it to a server with a pygeoapi instance.
+
+In alternative you can pull and push a configuration directly from/to a running pygeoapi instance. In order to to this:
+
+* The pygeoapi [admin API](https://docs.pygeoapi.io/en/latest/admin-api.html) must be enabled on that instance.
+* The pygeoapi instance must be *unprotected* (*i.e.*: without authentication enabled).
+* If you want to see the changes without restarting the service, you must [run pygeoapi with hot reload](https://docs.pygeoapi.io/en/latest/admin-api.html#pygeoapi-hot-reloading-in-gunicorn).
+
+It goes without saying that a combination of an unprotected instance and an enabled admin API creates a security risk that is unaceptable for production scenarios. For that reason it should be used for **testing purposes only, without exposing the service to the Internet**.
+
+Run pygeoapi docker container with hot reload, mounting a local configuration file:
+
+```bash
+docker run -p 5000:80 -v $(pwd)/example-config.yml:/pygeoapi/local.config.yml geopython/pygeoapi:latest run-with-hot-reload
+```
