 After [installing](INSTALL.md) this software, you may need to carry out some of these configuration steps, depending on your tasks.
 
+## Application configuration
+
+Many settings are available in `config/settings.yml`. You can customize your installation of The Rails Port by overriding these values using `config/settings.local.yml`

 ## Populating the database
 
-Your installation comes with no geographic data loaded. You can either create new data using one of the editors (Potlatch 2, iD, JOSM etc) or by loading an OSM extract.

+After installing but before creating any users or data, import an extract with [Osmosis](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis) and the [``--write-apidb``](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis/Detailed_Usage#--write-apidb_.28--wd.29) task.

+  user="openstreetmap" password="" validateSchemaVersion="no"
+```
+
+Loading an apidb database with Osmosis is about **twenty** times slower than loading the equivalent data with osm2pgsql into a rendering database. [``--log-progress``](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis/Detailed_Usage#--log-progress_.28--lp.29) may be desirable for status updates.

 If you want to deploy The Rails Port for production use, you'll need to make a few changes.

+* It's not recommended to use `rails server` in production. Our recommended approach is to use [Phusion Passenger](https://www.phusionpassenger.com/). Instructions are available for [setting it up with most web servers](https://www.phusionpassenger.com/documentation_and_support#documentation).
 * Passenger will, by design, use the Production environment and therefore the production database - make sure it contains the appropriate data and user accounts.
 * Your production database will also need the extensions and functions installed - see [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md)
 * The included version of the map call is quite slow and eats a lot of memory. You should consider using [CGIMap](https://github.com/zerebubuth/openstreetmap-cgimap) instead.
-* The included version of the GPX importer is slow and/or completely inoperable. You should consider using [the high-speed GPX importer](http://git.openstreetmap.org/gpx-import.git/).
+* Make sure you generate the i18n files and precompile the production assets: `RAILS_ENV=production rake i18n:js:export assets:precompile`
+* Make sure the web server user as well as the rails user can read, write and create directories in `tmp/`.
+* If you want to use diff replication then you might want to consider installing the shared library special SQL functions for the `xid_to_int4` function. A pure SQL version is available, but may become a performance issue on large databases with a high rate of changes. Note that you will need a version of PostgreSQL < 9.6 (yes, _less than_) to use `xid` indexing, whether pure SQL or shared library.
+* If you expect to serve a lot of `/changes` API calls, then you might also want to install the shared library versions of the SQL functions.
