   you can change that by providing an environment variable `HOME`,

 ## Configuration
 
-- Do not edit the systemd unit file directly. Instead, use systemd's builtin tools:
+- Prefer `systemctl edit` over modifying the unit file directly:
     - `systemctl edit caddy.service` to make user-local modifications
     - `systemctl edit --full caddy.service` for system-wide ones
-- In most cases it is enough to override the `ExecStart` directive.
-    - systemd needs absolute paths, therefore make sure that the path to caddy is correct.
-    - example:
+- In most cases it is enough to override arguments in the `ExecStart` directive:
 
 ```ini
 [Service]
 ; an empty value clears the original (and preceding) settings
 ExecStart=
-ExecStart=/usr/bin/caddy -conf="/etc/caddy/myCaddy.conf" -agree -email="my@mail.address"
+ExecStart=/usr/bin/caddy -conf="/etc/caddy/myCaddy.conf"
 ```
 
 - To view the resulting configuration use `systemctl cat caddy`

 ## Tips
 
-- Use `log stdout` and `errors stderr` in your Caddyfile to utilize `journalctl`.
-- `journalctl` is systemd's log query tool.
-- Let's say you want all the log entries since the last boot, beginning from the last entry:
-  `journalctl --reverse --boot --unit caddy.service`
-- To follow caddy's log output: `journalctl -fu caddy.service`
-- Send a signal to a service unit's main PID, e.g. have caddy reload its config:
-  `systemctl kill --signal=USR1 caddy.service`
+- Use `log stdout` and `errors stderr` in your Caddyfile to fully utilize **journald**.
+- `journalctl` is *journald's* log query tool.
+- Did caddy not start? Check the logfiles for any error messages using `journalctl --boot -u caddy.service`
+- To follow caddy's log output: `journalctl -f -u caddy.service`
+- If your GNU/Linux distribution does not use *systemd* with *journald* then check any logfiles in: `/var/log`
+
 - If you have more files that start with `caddy` – like a `caddy.timer`, `caddy.path`, or `caddy.socket` – then it is important to append `.service`.
   Although if `caddy.service` is all you have, then you can just use `caddy` without any extension, such as in: `systemctl status caddy`
