 ### Docker Run
 
-Run the Docker image using the `docker run` command. I'll provide examples for different scenarios:
+Run the Docker image using the `docker run` command. Here are examples adjusted for the new environment variables:
 
 1. **Testing a Single URL:**
 
     ```bash
-    docker run -e TARGET_URLS="http://example.com" -e MAX_TIME=1 -e VARIANCE=2 -e TEST_MODE="report" git.nixc.us/colin/bench:production
+    docker run -e URLS="http://example.com" -e USERNAME="user" -e PASSWORD="pass" git.nixc.us/colin/bench:production
     ```
 
 2. **Testing Multiple URLs:**
 
     ```bash
-    docker run -e TARGET_URLS="http://example.com,http://example2.com" -e MAX_TIME=1 -e VARIANCE=2 -e TEST_MODE="report" git.nixc.us/colin/bench:production
-    ```

-3. **Using Fail-Fast Mode:**
-
-    ```bash
-    docker run -e TARGET_URLS="http://example.com" -e MAX_TIME=1 -e VARIANCE=2 -e TEST_MODE="fail-fast" git.nixc.us/colin/bench:production

 ### Customizing the Configuration
 
-You can modify the `TARGET_URLS`, `MAX_TIME`, `VARIANCE`, and `TEST_MODE` environment variables to suit your specific testing needs. Here's what each variable represents:
+Adjust the `URLS`, `USERNAME`, `PASSWORD`, `REQUESTS`, and `CONCURRENCY` environment variables to meet your testing needs. Here's the purpose of each:
 
-- `TARGET_URLS`: A comma-separated list of URLs to test.
-- `MAX_TIME`: The target maximum response time in seconds.
-- `VARIANCE`: The acceptable variance in response time in seconds.
-- `TEST_MODE`: The mode of operation, either `report` to test all URLs regardless of individual results, or `fail-fast` to stop testing as soon as a URL fails the performance criteria.
+- `URLS`: Comma-separated list of URLs to test.
+- `USERNAME` and `PASSWORD`: Credentials for HTTP Basic Authentication.
+- `REQUESTS`: Number of requests to perform with Apache Bench.
+- `CONCURRENCY`: Number of multiple requests to make at a time.
