+# docker-mod-openssh-server-tweaks
+
+A Docker mod for linuxserver.io's openssh-server Docker image
+
+This mod allows:
+
+- Tweaking the umask in `/etc/profile` (`TWEAK_PROFILE_UMASK`)
+- Tweaking the home directory of the user (`TWEAK_USER_HOME`)
+  (Note: You need to set up SSH keys etc. yourself if you use this.)
+- Tweaking the gid of the users group (`TWEAK_USERS_GID`)
+
+I use these tweaks to align my NAS defaults + my expectations with the
+settings inside an LSIO openssh-server container.
+
+## How to use
+
+For example, in a `docker-compose.yml` file:
+
+```
+# [...]
+services:
+  sshd-halde:
+    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/openssh-server:latest
+    # [...]
+    environment:
+      - DOCKER_MODS=ghcr.io/neingeist/docker-mod-openssh-server-tweaks
+      - TWEAK_PROFILE_UMASK=0002
+      - TWEAK_USER_HOME=/home/myuser
+      - TWEAK_USERS_GID=100
+# [...]
+```
