 ## Usage
 
-Expects a `project.qgs` project file and all the files it depends on in the `/project/`
+Expects a `project.qgs` project file and all the files it depends on in the `/etc/qgisserver/`
 directory. Either you create another image to add those files or you inject them using
 a volume. For example:
 
 ```bash
-docker run -d -p 8380:80 --volume=$PWD/project:/project camptocamp/qgis-server
+docker run -d -p 8380:80 --volume=$PWD/etc/qgisserver:/etc/qgisserver camptocamp/qgis-server
 ```
 With the previous command, you'll get to your server with this URL:
 http://localhost:8380/?SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities
