+## How to build a specific GeoServer version?
+

+## How to build with custom geoserver data directory?
+
+```shell
+docker build \
+  --build-arg GS_DATA_PATH={RELATIVE_PATH_TO_YOUR_GS_DATA} \
+  -t {YOUR_TAG} .
+```
+
+**Note:** The passed path **must not** be absolute! Instead, the path should be within the build context (e.g. next to the Dockerfile) and should be passed as a relative path, e.g. `GS_DATA_PATH=./my_data/`
+
+## Can a build use a specific GeoServer version AND custom data?
+
+Yes! Just pass the `--build-arg` param twice, e.g.
+
+```shell
+docker build \
+  --build-arg GS_VERSION={VERSION} \
+  --build-arg GS_DATA_PATH={PATH} \
+  -t {YOUR_TAG} .
+```
+
+## How to build with additional libs/extensions/plugins?
+
+Put your `*.jar` files (e.g. the WPS extension) in the `additional_libs` folder and build with one of the commands from above! (They will be copied to the GeoServer `WEB-INF/lib` folder during the build.)
+
+**Note:** Similar to the GeoServer data path from above, you can also configure the path to the additional libraries by passing the `ADDITIONAL_LIBS_PATH` argument when building:
+
+```shell
+docker build \
+  --build-arg ADDITIONAL_LIBS_PATH={RELATIVE_PATH_TO_YOUR_LIBS}
+  -t {YOUR_TAG} .
