+# Run from Docker Image
+`weed shell` commands can also be run via the docker image, allowing an operator to perform maintenance commands.
+
+```
+docker run \
+  --rm \
+  -e SHELL_FILER=localhost:8888 \
+  -e SHELL_MASTER=localhost:9333 \
+  chrislusf/seaweedfs:local \
+  "shell" \
+  "fs.configure -locationPrefix=/buckets/foo -volumeGrowthCount=3 -replication=002 -apply"
+```
+
+Here `shell` selects the [Docker image entrypoint](https://github.com/chrislusf/seaweedfs/blob/master/docker/entrypoint.sh#L60-L64).
+
+The arguments are `fs.configure -locationPrefix=/buckets/foo -volumeGrowthCount=3 -replication=002 -apply`
