 EventMan(ager) requires MongoDB to run.
 
 You can use docker-compose.yml to have a complete environment. Run: `docker-compose up --build`
+Please notice that the *qrcode_reader.py* script is not meant to be run in a Docker container.
 
 The data is stored in the *eventman_data* volume: do not cancel it.
 
+The local *data* directory is mounted in the container: you can modify anything inside of it and changes will be reflected immediately in the running instance.
+
 In the *docker-tools* directory there is a set of tools to build and run another container to dump and restore the database; you need the docker-compose running, to execute them. From that directory you can:
 
 - **dump.sh**: dump the current database in a file like *eventman-dump-2017-11-28T21:57:43.tgz*
