docs(docker): Restructure deployment guide and add env var reference

Add Quick Run section with complete getting-started workflow including admin user creation via --execute flag. Consolidate Docker Compose to treat reverse proxy as essential with Traefik/Caddy/nginx examples. Move detailed image building to development guide, keeping deployment docs focused on using pre-built images. Create environment variables reference with practical examples and context. Clarify built-in TLS is for testing only; production should use reverse proxies.
chore: Refactor transaction_ids -> transactions

+
+## Features

+- Improved the first-time setup experience for new homeserver administrators:
+    - Account registration is disabled on the first run, except for with a new special registration token that is logged
+      to the console.
+    - Other helpful information is logged to the console as well, including a giant warning if open registration is
+      enabled.
+    - The default index page now says to check the console for setup instructions if no accounts have been created.
+    - Once the first admin account is created, an improved welcome message is sent to the admin room.
+
+  Contributed by @ginger.

+# Matrix RTC/Element Call Setup
+
+:::info
+This guide assumes that you are using docker compose for deployment. LiveKit only provides Docker images.
+:::
+
+## Instructions
+
+### 1. Domain
+
+LiveKit should live on its own domain or subdomain. In this guide we use `livekit.example.com` - this should be replaced with a domain you control.
+
+Make sure the DNS record for the (sub)domain you plan to use is pointed to your server.
+
+### 2. Services
+
+Using LiveKit with Matrix requires two services - Livekit itself, and a service (`lk-jwt-service`) that grants Matrix users permission to connect to it.
+
+You must generate a key and secret to allow the Matrix service to authenticate with LiveKit. `LK_MATRIX_KEY` should be around 20 random characters, and `LK_MATRIX_SECRET` should be around 64. Remember to replace these with the actual values!
+
+:::tip Generating the secrets
+LiveKit provides a utility to generate secure random keys
+```bash
+docker run --rm livekit/livekit-server:latest generate-keys
+```
+:::
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  lk-jwt-service:
+    image: ghcr.io/element-hq/lk-jwt-service:latest
+    container_name: lk-jwt-service
+    environment:
+      - LIVEKIT_JWT_BIND=:8081
+      - LIVEKIT_URL=wss://livekit.example.com
+      - LIVEKIT_KEY=LK_MATRIX_KEY
+      - LIVEKIT_SECRET=LK_MATRIX_SECRET
+      - LIVEKIT_FULL_ACCESS_HOMESERVERS=example.com
+    restart: unless-stopped
+    ports:
+      - "8081:8081"
+
+  livekit:
+    image: livekit/livekit-server:latest
+    container_name: livekit
+    command: --config /etc/livekit.yaml
+    restart: unless-stopped
+    volumes:
+      - ./livekit.yaml:/etc/livekit.yaml:ro
+    network_mode: "host" # /!\ LiveKit binds to all addresses by default.
+    # Make sure port 7880 is blocked by your firewall to prevent access bypassing your reverse proxy
+    # Alternatively, uncomment the lines below and comment `network_mode: "host"` above to specify port mappings.
+#    ports:
+#      - "127.0.0.1:7880:7880/tcp"
+#      - "7881:7881/tcp"
+#      - "50100-50200:50100-50200/udp"
+```
+
+Next, we need to configure LiveKit. In the same directory, create `livekit.yaml` with the following content - remembering to replace `LK_MATRIX_KEY` and `LK_MATRIX_SECRET` with the values you generated:
+
+```yaml
+port: 7880
+bind_addresses:
+  - ""
+rtc:
+  tcp_port: 7881
+  port_range_start: 50100
+  port_range_end: 50200
+  use_external_ip: true
+  enable_loopback_candidate: false
+keys:
+  LK_MATRIX_KEY: LK_MATRIX_SECRET
+```
+
+#### Firewall hints
+
+You will need to allow ports `7881/tcp` and `50100:50200/udp` through your firewall. If you use UFW, the commands are: `ufw allow 7881/tcp` and `ufw allow 50100:50200/udp`.
+
+### 3. Telling clients where to find LiveKit
+
+To tell clients where to find LiveKit, you need to add the address of your `lk-jwt-service` to your client .well-known file. To do so, in the config section `global.well-known`, add (or modify) the option `rtc_focus_server_urls`.
+
+The variable should be a list of servers serving as MatrixRTC endpoints to serve in the well-known file to the client.
+
+```toml
+rtc_focus_server_urls = [
+    { type = "livekit", livekit_service_url = "https://livekit.example.com" },
+]
+```
+
+Remember to replace the URL with the address you are deploying your instance of lk-jwt-service to.
+
+#### Serving .well-known manually
+
+If you don't let Continuwuity serve your `.well-known` files, you need to add the following lines to your `.well-known/matrix/client` file, remembering to replace the URL with your own `lk-jwt-service` deployment:
+
+```json
+  "org.matrix.msc4143.rtc_foci": [
+    {
+      "type": "livekit",
+      "livekit_service_url": "https://livekit.example.com"
+    }
+  ]
+```
+
+The final file should look something like this:
+
+```json
+{
+  "m.homeserver": {
+    "base_url":"https://matrix.example.com"
+  },
+  "org.matrix.msc4143.rtc_foci": [
+    {
+      "type": "livekit",
+      "livekit_service_url": "https://livekit.example.com"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Configure your Reverse Proxy
+
+Reverse proxies can be configured in many different ways - so we can't provide a step by step for this.
+
+By default, all routes should be forwarded to Livekit with the exception of the following path prefixes, which should be forwarded to the JWT/Authentication service:
+
+- `/sfu/get`
+- `/healthz`
+- `/get_token`

+    ```
+
+    Note that for websockets to work, you need to have this somewhere outside your server block:
+    ```
+    map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
+        default upgrade;
+        ''      close;
+    }

+    ```
+</details>
+
+
+### 6. Start Everything
+
+Start up the services using your usual method - for example `docker compose up -d`.
+
+## Additional Configuration
+
+### TURN Integration
+
+If you've already set up coturn, there may be a port clash between the two services. To fix this, make sure the `min-port` and `max-port` for coturn so it doesn't overlap with LiveKit's range:
+
+```ini
+min-port=50201
+max-port=65535
+```
+
+To improve LiveKit's reliability, you can configure it to use your coturn server.
+
+Generate a long random secret for LiveKit, and add it to your coturn config under the `static-auth-secret` option. You can add as many secrets as you want - so set a different one for each thing using your TURN server.
+
+Then configure livekit, making sure to replace `COTURN_SECRET`:
+
+```yaml
+# livekit.yaml
+rtc:
+  turn_servers:
+    - host: coturn.ellis.link
+      port: 3478
+      protocol: tcp
+      secret: "COTURN_SECRET"
+    - host: coturn.ellis.link
+      port: 5349
+      protocol: tls # Only if you've set up TLS in your coturn
+      secret: "COTURN_SECRET"
+    - host: coturn.ellis.link
+      port: 3478
+      protocol: udp
+      secret: "COTURN_SECRET"
+```
+
+## LiveKit's built in TURN server
+
+Livekit includes a built in TURN server which can be used in place of an external option. This TURN server will only work with Livekit, so you can't use it for legacy Matrix calling - or anything else.
+
+If you don't want to set up a separate TURN server, you can enable this with the following changes:
+
+```yaml
+### add this to livekit.yaml ###
+turn:
+  enabled: true
+  udp_port: 3478
+  relay_range_start: 50300
+  relay_range_end: 50400
+  domain: matrix-rtc.example.com
+```
+
+```yaml
+### Add these to docker-compose ###
+- "3478:3478/udp"
+- "50300-50400:50300-50400/udp"
+```

+# Setting up TURN/STUN
+
+[TURN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traversal_Using_Relays_around_NAT) and [STUN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STUN) are used as a component in many calling systems. Matrix uses them directly for legacy calls and indirectly for MatrixRTC via Livekit.
+
+Continuwuity recommends using [Coturn](https://github.com/coturn/coturn) as your TURN/STUN server, which is available as a Docker image or a distro package.
+
+## Installing Coturn
+
+### Configuration
+
+Create a configuration file called `coturn.conf` containing:
+
+```ini
+use-auth-secret
+static-auth-secret=<a secret key>
+realm=<your server domain>
+```
+
+:::tip Generating a secure secret
+A common way to generate a suitable alphanumeric secret key is by using:
+```bash
+pwgen -s 64 1
+```
+:::
+
+#### Port Configuration
+
+By default, coturn uses the following ports:
+- `3478` (UDP/TCP): Standard TURN/STUN port
+- `5349` (UDP/TCP): TURN/STUN over TLS
+- `49152-65535` (UDP): Media relay ports
+
+If you're also running LiveKit, you'll need to avoid port conflicts. Configure non-overlapping port ranges:
+
+```ini
+# In coturn.conf
+min-port=50201
+max-port=65535
+```
+
+This leaves ports `50100-50200` available for LiveKit's default configuration.
+
+### Running with Docker
+
+Run the [Coturn](https://hub.docker.com/r/coturn/coturn) image using:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --network=host \
+  -v $(pwd)/coturn.conf:/etc/coturn/turnserver.conf \
+  coturn/coturn
+```
+
+### Running with Docker Compose
+
+Create a `docker-compose.yml` file and run `docker compose up -d`:
+
+```yaml
+version: '3'
+services:
+  turn:
+    container_name: coturn-server
+    image: docker.io/coturn/coturn
+    restart: unless-stopped
+    network_mode: "host"
+    volumes:
+      - ./coturn.conf:/etc/coturn/turnserver.conf
+```
+
+:::info Why host networking?
+Coturn uses host networking mode because it needs to bind to multiple ports and work with various network protocols. Using host networking is better for performance, and reduces configuration complexity. To understand alternative configuration options, visit [Coturn's Docker documentation](https://github.com/coturn/coturn/blob/master/docker/coturn/README.md).
+:::
+
+### Security Recommendations
+
+For security best practices, see Synapse's [Coturn documentation](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/turn-howto.html), which includes important firewall and access control recommendations.
+
+## Configuring Continuwuity
+
+Once your TURN server is running, configure Continuwuity to provide credentials to clients. Add the following to your Continuwuity configuration file:
+
+### Shared Secret Authentication (Recommended)
+
+This is the most secure method and generates time-limited credentials automatically:
+
+```toml
+# TURN URIs that clients should connect to
+turn_uris = [
+    "turn:coturn.example.com?transport=udp",
+    "turn:coturn.example.com?transport=tcp",
+    "turns:coturn.example.com?transport=udp",
+    "turns:coturn.example.com?transport=tcp"
+]
+
+# Shared secret for generating credentials (must match coturn's static-auth-secret)
+turn_secret = "<your coturn static-auth-secret>"
+
+# Optional: Read secret from a file instead (takes priority over turn_secret)
+# turn_secret_file = "/etc/continuwuity/.turn_secret"
+
+# TTL for generated credentials in seconds (default: 86400 = 24 hours)
+turn_ttl = 86400
+```
+
+:::tip Using TLS
+The `turns:` URI prefix instructs clients to connect to TURN over TLS, which is highly recommended for security. Make sure you've configured TLS in your coturn server first.
+:::
+
+### Static Credentials (Alternative)
+
+If you prefer static username/password credentials instead of shared secrets:
+
+```toml
+turn_uris = [
+    "turn:coturn.example.com?transport=udp",
+    "turn:coturn.example.com?transport=tcp"
+]
+
+turn_username = "your_username"
+turn_password = "your_password"
+```
+
+:::warning
+Static credentials are less secure than shared secrets because they don't expire and must be configured in coturn separately. It is strongly advised you use shared secret authentication.
+:::
+
+### Guest Access
+
+By default, TURN credentials require client authentication. To allow unauthenticated access:
+
+```toml
+turn_allow_guests = true
+```
+
+:::caution
+This is not recommended as it allows unauthenticated users to access your TURN server, potentially enabling abuse by bots. All major Matrix clients that support legacy calls *also* support authenticated TURN access.
+:::
+
+### Important Notes
+
+- Replace `coturn.example.com` with your actual TURN server domain (the `realm` from coturn.conf)
+- The `turn_secret` must match the `static-auth-secret` in your coturn configuration
+- Restart or reload Continuwuity after making configuration changes
+

+Verify that Continuwuity is correctly serving TURN credentials to clients:
+
+```bash
+curl "https://matrix.example.com/_matrix/client/r0/voip/turnServer" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer <your_client_token>" | jq
+```
+
+You should receive a response like this:
+
+```json
+{
+  "username": "1752792167:@jade:example.com",
+  "password": "KjlDlawdPbU9mvP4bhdV/2c/h65=",
+  "uris": [
+    "turns:coturn.example.com?transport=udp",
+    "turns:coturn.example.com?transport=tcp",
+    "turn:coturn.example.com?transport=udp",
+    "turn:coturn.example.com?transport=tcp"
+  ],
+  "ttl": 86400
+}
+```
+
+:::note MSC4166 Compliance
+If no TURN URIs are configured (`turn_uris` is empty), Continuwuity will return a 404 Not Found response, as specified in MSC4166.
+:::
+
+### Testing Connectivity
+
+Use [Trickle ICE](https://webrtc.github.io/samples/src/content/peerconnection/trickle-ice/) to verify that the TURN credentials actually work:
+
+1. Copy the credentials from the response above
+2. Paste them into the Trickle ICE testing tool
+3. Click "Gather candidates"
+4. Look for successful `relay` candidates in the results
+
+If you see relay candidates, your TURN server is working correctly!
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Clients can't connect to TURN server
+
+- Verify firewall rules allow the necessary ports (3478, 5349, and your media port range)
+- Check that DNS resolves correctly for your TURN domain
+- Ensure your `turn_secret` matches coturn's `static-auth-secret`
+- Test with Trickle ICE to isolate the issue
+
+### Port conflicts with LiveKit
+
+- Make sure coturn's `min-port` starts above LiveKit's `port_range_end` (default: 50200)
+- Or adjust LiveKit's port range to avoid coturn's default range
+
+### 404 when calling turnServer endpoint
+
+- Verify that `turn_uris` is not empty in your Continuwuity config
+- This behavior is correct per MSC4166 if no TURN URIs are configured
+
+### Credentials expire too quickly
+
+- Adjust the `turn_ttl` value in your Continuwuity configuration
+- Default is 86400 seconds (24 hours)

+Get a working Continuwuity server with an admin user in four steps:
+
+#### Prerequisites
+
+Continuwuity requires HTTPS for Matrix federation. You'll need:
+
+- A domain name pointing to your server
+- A reverse proxy with SSL/TLS certificates (Traefik, Caddy, nginx, etc.)
+
+See [Docker Compose](#docker-compose) for complete examples.
+
+#### Environment Variables
+
+- `CONTINUWUITY_SERVER_NAME` - Your Matrix server's domain name
+- `CONTINUWUITY_DATABASE_PATH` - Where to store your database (must match the
+  volume mount)
+- `CONTINUWUITY_ADDRESS` - Bind address (use `0.0.0.0` to listen on all
+  interfaces)
+- `CONTINUWUITY_ALLOW_REGISTRATION` - Set to `false` to disable registration, or
+  use with `CONTINUWUITY_REGISTRATION_TOKEN` to require a token (see
+  [reference](../reference/environment-variables.mdx#registration--user-configuration)
+  for details)
+
+See the
+[Environment Variables Reference](../reference/environment-variables.mdx) for
+more configuration options.
+
+#### 1. Pull the image

 ```bash
-docker run -d -p 8448:6167 \
-    -v db:/var/lib/continuwuity/ \
-    -e CONTINUWUITY_SERVER_NAME="your.server.name" \
-    -e CONTINUWUITY_ALLOW_REGISTRATION=false \
-    --name continuwuity $LINK
+docker pull forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity:latest
 ```

-or you can use [Docker Compose](#docker-compose).
+#### 2. Start the server with initial admin user

-The `-d` flag lets the container run in detached mode. You may supply an
-optional `continuwuity.toml` config file, the example config can be found
-[here](../reference/config.mdx). You can pass in different env vars to
-change config values on the fly. You can even configure Continuwuity completely by
-using env vars. For an overview of possible values, please take a look at the
-<a href="/examples/docker-compose.yml" target="_blank">`docker-compose.yml`</a> file.
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+  -p 6167:6167 \
+  -v continuwuity_db:/var/lib/continuwuity \
+  -e CONTINUWUITY_SERVER_NAME="matrix.example.com" \
+  -e CONTINUWUITY_DATABASE_PATH="/var/lib/continuwuity" \
+  -e CONTINUWUITY_ADDRESS="0.0.0.0" \
+  -e CONTINUWUITY_ALLOW_REGISTRATION="false" \
+  --name continuwuity \
+  forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity:latest \
+  --execute "users create-user admin"
+```

-If you just want to test Continuwuity for a short time, you can use the `--rm`
-flag, which cleans up everything related to your container after you stop
-it.
+Replace `matrix.example.com` with your actual server name and `admin` with
+your preferred username.
+
+#### 3. Get your admin password
+
+```bash
+docker logs continuwuity 2>&1 | grep "Created user"
+```
+
+You'll see output like:
+
+```
+Created user with user_id: @admin:matrix.example.com and password: `[auto-generated-password]`
+```
+
+#### 4. Configure your reverse proxy
+
+Configure your reverse proxy to forward HTTPS traffic to Continuwuity. See
+[Docker Compose](#docker-compose) for examples.
+
+Once configured, log in with any Matrix client using `@admin:matrix.example.com`
+and the generated password. You'll automatically be invited to the admin room
+where you can manage your server.

 ### Docker Compose

-If the `docker run` command is not suitable for you or your setup, you can also use one
-of the provided `docker-compose` files.
+Docker Compose is the recommended deployment method. These examples include
+reverse proxy configurations for Matrix federation.

-Depending on your proxy setup, you can use one of the following files:
+#### Matrix Federation Requirements

-### For existing Traefik setup
+For Matrix federation to work, you need to serve `.well-known/matrix/client` and
+`.well-known/matrix/server` endpoints. You can achieve this either by:
+
+1. **Using a well-known service** - The compose files below include an nginx
+   container to serve these files
+2. **Using Continuwuity's built-in delegation** (easier for Traefik) - Configure
+   delegation files in your config, then proxy `/.well-known/matrix/*` to
+   Continuwuity
+
+**Traefik example using built-in delegation:**
+
+```yaml
+labels:
+  traefik.http.routers.continuwuity.rule: >-
+    (Host(`matrix.example.com`) ||
+     (Host(`example.com`) && PathPrefix(`/.well-known/matrix`)))
+```
+
+This routes your Matrix domain and well-known paths to Continuwuity.
+
+#### Creating Your First Admin User
+
+Add the `--execute` command to create an admin user on first startup. In your
+compose file, add under the `continuwuity` service:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+    continuwuity:
+        image: forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity:latest
+        command: --execute "users create-user admin"
+        # ... rest of configuration
+```
+
+Then retrieve the auto-generated password:
+
+```bash
+docker compose logs continuwuity | grep "Created user"
+```
+
+#### Choose Your Reverse Proxy
+
+Select the compose file that matches your setup:
+
+:::note DNS Performance
+Docker's default DNS resolver can cause performance issues with Matrix
+federation. If you experience slow federation or DNS timeouts, you may need to
+use your host's DNS resolver instead. Add this volume mount to the
+`continuwuity` service:
+
+```yaml
+volumes:
+  - /etc/resolv.conf:/etc/resolv.conf:ro
+```
+
+See [Troubleshooting - DNS Issues](../troubleshooting.mdx#potential-dns-issues-when-using-docker)
+for more details and alternative solutions.

-
-### Build
-
-Official Continuwuity images are built using **Docker Buildx** and the Dockerfile found at [`docker/Dockerfile`][dockerfile-path]. This approach uses common Docker tooling and enables efficient multi-platform builds.
-
-The resulting images are widely compatible with Docker and other container runtimes like Podman or containerd.
-
-The images *do not contain a shell*. They contain only the Continuwuity binary, required libraries, TLS certificates, and metadata.

-docker buildx build --load --tag continuwuity:latest -f docker/Dockerfile .
-
-# Example: Build for specific platforms and push to a registry.
-# docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 --tag registry.io/org/continuwuity:latest -f docker/Dockerfile . --push

-# docker buildx build --load \
-#   --tag continuwuity:latest \
-#   --build-arg TARGET_CPU=native \
-#   -f docker/Dockerfile .
-
-# Example: Build maxperf variant (release-max-perf profile with LTO)
-# Optimised for runtime performance and smaller binary size, but requires longer build time
-# docker buildx build --load \
-#   --tag continuwuity:latest-maxperf \
-#   --build-arg TARGET_CPU=native \
-#   --build-arg RUST_PROFILE=release-max-perf \

-
-### Run
-
-If you have already built the image or want to use one from the registries, you
-can start the container and everything else in the compose file in detached
-mode with:
+1. Choose your compose file and rename it to `docker-compose.yml`
+2. If using the override file, rename it to `docker-compose.override.yml` and
+   edit your values
+3. Start the server:

 ```bash
 docker compose up -d
 ```

-> **Note:** Don't forget to modify and adjust the compose file to your needs.
+See the [generic deployment guide](generic.mdx) for more deployment options.

-### Use Traefik as Proxy
+### Building Custom Images

-As a container user, you probably know about Traefik. It is an easy-to-use
-reverse proxy for making containerized apps and services available through the
-web. With the Traefik-related docker-compose files provided above, it is equally easy
-to deploy and use Continuwuity, with a small caveat. If you have already looked at
-the files, you should have seen the `well-known` service, which is the
-small caveat. Traefik is simply a proxy and load balancer and cannot
-serve any kind of content. For Continuwuity to federate, we need to either
-expose ports `443` and `8448` or serve two endpoints: `.well-known/matrix/client`
-and `.well-known/matrix/server`.
-
-With the service `well-known`, we use a single `nginx` container that serves
-those two files.
-
-Alternatively, you can use Continuwuity's built-in delegation file capability. Set up the delegation files in the configuration file, and then proxy paths under `/.well-known/matrix` to continuwuity. For example, the label ``traefik.http.routers.continuwuity.rule=(Host(`matrix.ellis.link`) || (Host(`ellis.link`) && PathPrefix(`/.well-known/matrix`)))`` does this for the domain `ellis.link`.

 The primary inspiration for this design was apart of hot reloadable development,
-to support "Continuwuity as a library" where specific parts can simply be swapped out.
-There is evidence Conduit wanted to go this route too as `axum` is technically an
-optional feature in Conduit, and can be compiled without the binary or axum library
-for handling inbound web requests; but it was never completed or worked.

 ## Adding compile-time [features][features]

-If you'd like to add a compile-time feature, you must first define it in
-the `main` workspace crate located in `src/main/Cargo.toml`. The feature must
-enable a feature in the other workspace crate(s) you intend to use it in. Then
-the said workspace crate(s) must define the feature there in its `Cargo.toml`.

+a feature in the other workspace crate(s) you intend to use it in. Then the said
+workspace crate(s) must define the feature there in its `Cargo.toml`.

-So, if this is adding a feature to the API such as `woof`, you define the feature
-in the `api` crate's `Cargo.toml` as `woof = []`. The feature definition in `main`'s
-`Cargo.toml` will be `woof = ["conduwuit-api/woof"]`.

+in `main`'s `Cargo.toml` will be `woof = ["conduwuit-api/woof"]`.

-The rationale for this is due to Rust / Cargo not supporting
-["workspace level features"][9], we must make a choice of; either scattering
-features all over the workspace crates, making it difficult for anyone to add
-or remove default features; or define all the features in one central workspace
-crate that propagate down/up to the other workspace crates. It is a Cargo pitfall,
-and we'd like to see better developer UX in Rust's Workspaces.

-Additionally, the definition of one single place makes "feature collection" in our
-Nix flake a million times easier instead of collecting and deduping them all from
-searching in all the workspace crates' `Cargo.toml`s. Though we wouldn't need to
-do this if Rust supported workspace-level features to begin with.

 ## List of forked dependencies

-During Continuwuity (and prior projects) development, we have had to fork some dependencies to support our use-cases.
-These forks exist for various reasons including features that upstream projects won't accept,
-faster-paced development, Continuwuity-specific usecases, or lack of time to upstream changes.

 ## Building Docker Images

-To build a Docker image for Continuwuity, use the standard Docker build command:
+Official Continuwuity images are built using **Docker Buildx** and the
+Dockerfile found at [`docker/Dockerfile`][dockerfile-path].
+
+The images are compatible with Docker and other container runtimes like Podman
+or containerd.
+
+The images _do not contain a shell_. They contain only the Continuwuity binary,
+required libraries, TLS certificates, and metadata.

+# Environment Variables
+
+Continuwuity can be configured entirely through environment variables, making it
+ideal for containerised deployments and infrastructure-as-code scenarios.
+
+This is a convenience reference and may not be exhaustive. The
+[Configuration Reference](./config.mdx) is the primary source for all
+configuration options.
+
+## Prefix System
+
+Continuwuity supports three environment variable prefixes for backwards
+compatibility:
+
+- `CONTINUWUITY_*` (current, recommended)
+- `CONDUWUIT_*` (compatibility)
+- `CONDUIT_*` (legacy)
+
+All three prefixes work identically. Use double underscores (`__`) to represent
+nested configuration sections from the TOML config.
+
+**Examples:**
+
+```bash
+# Simple top-level config
+CONTINUWUITY_SERVER_NAME="matrix.example.com"
+CONTINUWUITY_PORT="8008"
+
+# Nested config sections use double underscores
+# This maps to [database] section in TOML
+CONTINUWUITY_DATABASE__PATH="/var/lib/continuwuity"
+
+# This maps to [tls] section in TOML
+CONTINUWUITY_TLS__CERTS="/path/to/cert.pem"
+```
+
+## Configuration File Override
+
+You can specify a custom configuration file path:
+
+- `CONTINUWUITY_CONFIG` - Path to continuwuity.toml (current)
+- `CONDUWUIT_CONFIG` - Path to config file (compatibility)
+- `CONDUIT_CONFIG` - Path to config file (legacy)
+

 ## Continuwuity and Matrix issues

+### Slow joins to rooms
+
+Some slowness is to be expected if you're the first person on your homserver to join a room (which will
+always be the case for single-user homeservers). In this situation, your homeserver has to verify the signatures of
+all of the state events sent by other servers before your join. To make this process as fast as possible, make sure you have
+multiple fast, trusted servers listed in `trusted_servers` in your configuration, and ensure
+`query_trusted_key_servers_first_on_join` is set to true (the default).
+If you need suggestions for trusted servers, ask in the Continuwuity main room.
+
+However, _very_ slow joins, especially to rooms with only a few users in them or rooms created by another user
+on your homeserver, may be caused by [issue !779](https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/issues/779),
+which is a longstanding bug with synchronizing room joins to clients. In this situation, you did succeed in joining the room, but
+the bug caused your homeserver to forget to tell your client. **To fix this, clear your client's cache.** Both Element and Cinny
+have a button to clear their cache in the "About" section of their settings.
+
 ### Lost access to admin room

 You can reinvite yourself to the admin room through the following methods:

-# Setting up TURN/STURN
-
-In order to make or receive calls, a TURN server is required. Continuwuity suggests
-using [Coturn](https://github.com/coturn/coturn) for this purpose, which is also
-available as a Docker image.
-
-### Configuration
-
-Create a configuration file called `coturn.conf` containing:
-
-```
-use-auth-secret
-static-auth-secret=<a secret key>
-realm=<your server domain>
-```
-
-A common way to generate a suitable alphanumeric secret key is by using `pwgen
-s 64 1`.
-
-These same values need to be set in Continuwuity. See the [example
-config](./reference/config.mdx) in the TURN section for configuring these and
-restart Continuwuity after.
-
-`turn_secret` or a path to `turn_secret_file` must have a value of your
-coturn `static-auth-secret`, or use `turn_username` and `turn_password`
-if using legacy username:password TURN authentication (not preferred).
-
-`turn_uris` must be the list of TURN URIs you would like to send to the client.
-Typically you will just replace the example domain `example.turn.uri` with the
-`realm` you set from the example config.
-
-If you are using TURN over TLS, you can replace `turn:` with `turns:` in the
-`turn_uris` config option to instruct clients to attempt to connect to
-TURN over TLS. This is highly recommended.
-
-If you need unauthenticated access to the TURN URIs, or some clients may be
-having trouble, you can enable `turn_guest_access` in Continuwuity which disables
-authentication for the TURN URI endpoint `/_matrix/client/v3/voip/turnServer`
-
-### Run
-
-Run the [Coturn](https://hub.docker.com/r/coturn/coturn) image using
-
-```bash
-docker run -d --network=host -v
-$(pwd)/coturn.conf:/etc/coturn/turnserver.conf coturn/coturn
-```
-
-or docker-compose. For the latter, paste the following section into a file
-called `docker-compose.yml` and run `docker compose up -d` in the same
-directory.
-
-```yml
-version: 3
-services:
-    turn:
-      container_name: coturn-server
-      image: docker.io/coturn/coturn
-      restart: unless-stopped
-      network_mode: "host"
-      volumes:
-        - ./coturn.conf:/etc/coturn/turnserver.conf
-```
-
-To understand why the host networking mode is used and explore alternative
-configuration options, please visit [Coturn's Docker
-documentation](https://github.com/coturn/coturn/blob/master/docker/coturn/README.md).
-
-For security recommendations see Synapse's [Coturn
-documentation](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/turn-howto.html).
-
-### Testing
-
-To make sure turn credentials are being correctly served to clients, you can manually make a HTTP request to the turnServer endpoint.
-
-`curl "https://<matrix.example.com>/_matrix/client/r0/voip/turnServer" -H 'Authorization: Bearer <your_client_token>' | jq`
-
-You should get a response like this:
-
-```json
-{
-  "username": "1752792167:@jade:example.com",
-  "password": "KjlDlawdPbU9mvP4bhdV/2c/h65=",
-  "uris": [
-    "turns:coturn.example.com?transport=udp",
-    "turns:coturn.example.com?transport=tcp",
-    "turn:coturn.example.com?transport=udp",
-    "turn:coturn.example.com?transport=tcp"
-  ],
-  "ttl": 86400
-}
-```
-
-You can test these credentials work using [Trickle ICE](https://webrtc.github.io/samples/src/content/peerconnection/trickle-ice/)

Tom Foster	5a44f3e5e4	docs(docker): Restructure deployment guide and add env var reference Add Quick Run section with complete getting-started workflow including admin user creation via --execute flag. Consolidate Docker Compose to treat reverse proxy as essential with Traefik/Caddy/nginx examples. Move detailed image building to development guide, keeping deployment docs focused on using pre-built images. Create environment variables reference with practical examples and context.
