## Installation

If you haven't already, [install Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/). Then, use `docker compose` to build and run the container:

```bash

docker compose up -d

```

## Configuration

Define environment variables in the compose file (or run command) to override the defaults.

| Env | Default | Example | Description |

|---|---|---|---|

| `TZ` | `UTC` | `London/Europe` | Timezone used by the server. |

| `RENEWAL_TIME` | `24:00:00` | `12:30:00` | MOTD renewal time (HH:MM:SS). |

| `CHANCE` | `10` | `100` | Reciprocal chance for atypical cow. The example used gives a 1 in 100 chance of a random non-standard cow; the default is 1 in 10. |
