Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It is unclear to me how to override the defaults in the ansible role. I referenced the self-hosting docs, but there does not seem to be any clear explanation.

Describe the solution you'd like

The docs mention a user_overrides.yaml here and state:

If you want to override the defaults, you can put overrides in user_overrides.yml. See user_overrides.yml for examples.

It is unclear to me if there should be a link to an example or if user_overrides.yaml is somewhere in the repo. Regardless, I can't seem to find the examples.

Ah, I feel a bit foolish now. I seeuser_overrides.yaml at the top level of the project. I still would appreciate a link in the docs. I will follow up with the change.

Where should be user_overrides.yml in the docker container ?
