-## Management
-Stop with:
-`docker stop buildvm`

-Restart with:
-`docker start buildvm`
+Autoport needs to be globally enabled with setting:
+
+`AUTOPORT_ENABLE=1`
+
+Port configurations are defined in the same file inside array variables, in this example we use
+the first configuration with array index of `0`:
+
+`AUTOPORT_ARCH[0]=aarch64
+AUTOPORT_DISABLE[0]=
+AUTOPORT_CHROOT_USER[0]=autodist
+AUTOPORT_NATIVE[0]=1

+AUTOPORT_BASE_REPOSITORY[0]="devel-autodist"
+AUTOPORT_IMPORT_REPOSITORIES[0]="$AUTOPORT_DEVEL_IMPORT_REPOSITORIES"`
+
+The command to run autoport batch process for configuration with index `0` is:
+
+`docker exec -it buildvm /usr/bin/autoport-launcher 0`
+
+Maintainer wants to add autoport as a cron job.
+To do this you may set the cron job on the docker **host** by running `crontab -e` and adding the line:
+
+`0 * * * * docker exec -it buildvm /usr/bin/autoport-launcher 0`
