 The container runs as UID/GID `10001`, uses a read-only root filesystem, drops every capability, does not mount the Docker socket, and mounts the shared Minecraft volume at `/data:ro`.
 
+The Compose example bind-mounts the host directory `log-viewer-config` and reads
+`log-viewer-config/ip-whitelist.txt`. Put one IP address or CIDR on each line
+(`#` comments are supported) to grant an explicit owner override. Mount the
+directory rather than the individual file: editors commonly save by replacing a
+file, and an individual Docker file bind mount remains attached to the replaced
+inode. The file is read after normal player authorization fails on every access
+attempt, so edits take effect without restarting the viewer. An unreadable or
+malformed file grants no override.
+
+With `RUST_LOG=minecraft_log_viewer=debug,tower_http=info`, each API access logs
+the effective client IP and authorization source. Override checks also log the
+configured path, complete parsed IP/CIDR list, match/miss result, and read or
+parse errors. The complete set of IPs authorized through successful joins and
+the current Minecraft whitelist is logged as `allowed_player_ips`.
