 This package modifies the /etc/banner that is shown during SSH login.
 
 ⚠️ This package will consume an additional 2x the banner size, one for the template and one for the final banner. Make sure to have enough flash size available.
+
+
+### Configuration
+
+You should use something like the following in the site.conf:
+
+```lua
+custom_banner = {
+    enabled = true,
+    map_url = 'https://map.ffmuc.net/#!/',
+    },
+```
