+Steps to execute **before** running containers:
+
+1. Create the folder: ``` mkdir -m=700 monkey_island_data```
+2. Inside folder ```monkey_island_data``` create the file ```server_settings.json``` with the following content:
+```json
+{
+  "data_dir": "/monkey_island_data",
+        "mongodb": {
+            "start_mongodb": false
+        },
+  "ssl_certificate": {
+        "ssl_certificate_file": "/monkey_island_data/cert.crt",
+        "ssl_certificate_key_file": "/monkey_island_data/cert.key"
+    }
+}
+```
+If you are not goin to use your own certificate, you can delete the ```ssl_certificate``` section.
+
