 This will basicly tell RabbitMQ to use this plugin as authentification method and then which paths and method to use.
 
+### Livebeat
+Livebeat uses a `.env` file as configuration so you have to create this file in the **root folder** of the backend.
+
+For example `/srv/livebeat/backend/.env`:
+```
+DEBUG=false
+MONGO_URI=mongodb+srv://...
+RABBITMQ_URI=amqp://backend:RANDOM_PASSWORD@localhost
+JWT_SECRET=Um5KwYv88JX9DEi5E^m@KW3u9^9j*AnDsr98ZRXJCAamPui@
+```
+
+**Note:** Please replace `JWT_SECRET` and `RANDOM_PASSWORD` with an other secret phrase. It is also recommended to set the read rights as low as possible. Only the Livebeat user/group should have read-only access to this file.
+
+`MONGO_URI` requires a path to any working MongoDB server instance. If you don't want to setup you own server fell free to use MongoDB Atlas free sandbox cluster.
