+### Alternative: Template via `$NGINX_CONFIG_TEMPLATE` environment variable
+
+Instead of mounting a `nginx.conf.tpl` file via a volume, you can also pass in the template via the `$NGINX_CONFIG_TEMPLATE` environment variable.
+
+Here is an `docker-compose.yml` example segment:
+
+
+```yaml
+proxy:
+  image: schickling/nginx-envtpl
+  environment:
+    NGINX_WORKER_RLIMIT_NOFILE: 96000
+    NGINX_WORKER_CONNECTIONS: 10000
+    NGINX_BACKLOG: 10000
+    NGINX_PROXY_ADDR: "http://example.com/"
+    NGINX_CONFIG_TEMPLATE: >

+          use epoll;
+          multi_accept on;
