-    ```bash
+    ```ini
     NICK=your_nick
     PASS=your_password
     ```
 
-3. Add the `profiles.json` file, which contains your profile IDs:
+3.  **Add Users to Track**
 
-    ```json
-    {
-      "alice": "69",
-      "bob": "420"
-    }
+    You can add users via the `--add-user` command-line flag. Run this command for each user you want to track.
+
+    The format is a single string: `'DisplayName,ProfileID'`.
+
+    ```bash
+    # Example for running from source
+    go run . --add-user 'Alice,69'
+    go run . --add-user 'Bob,420'
     ```
 
+    > **How to find a Profile ID?**
+    > Navigate to a user's profile on nCore. The URL will be `https://ncore.pro/profile.php?id=12345`. The `ProfileID` is the number at the end.
+
 ### How to obtain `NICK` and `PASS`
 
-- Open the developer tools in your browser (F12), go to the "Network" tab.
-- Log in using "lower security" mode.
-- Find the `login.php` request in the network activity.
-- In the response headers, locate the `Set-Cookie` header, which will contain `nick=` and `pass=` values.
-- Copy those values and add them to your `.env` file.

+2.  **Add Users using Docker**
+
+    Before starting the service, or to add new users later, run the `--add-user` command inside a temporary container. This ensures the user is added to the database in your persistent volume.
 
     ```bash
-    docker-compose up -d
+    # Use 'docker compose run' to add users before starting
+    docker compose run --rm ncore-stats --add-user 'Alice,69'
+    docker compose run --rm ncore-stats --add-user 'Bob,420'
     ```
 
-3. Open `:3000` to view your stats.
+    If the container is already running, you can use `docker exec`:
+    ```bash
+    # The executable inside the container is named 'trackncore'
+    docker exec ncore-stats ./trackncore --add-user 'Charlie,1337'
+    ```
+
+3.  **Run the Docker Compose setup:**
+
+    Once you have added your users, start the service.
+
+    ```bash
+    docker compose up -d
+    ```
+
+4.  Open `http://localhost:3000` to view your stats.
 
 ### Updating
 
 To pull the latest image and restart the service:
