If you decide to upload your custom config file to `nf-core/configs` then this will ensure that your custom config file will be automatically downloaded, and available at run-time to all nf-core pipelines, and to everyone within your organisation. You will simply have to specify `-profile <config_name>` in the command used to run the pipeline. See [`nf-core/configs`](https://github.com/nf-core/configs/tree/master/conf) for examples.
Please also make sure to add an extra `params` section with `params. config_profile_name`, `params.config_profile_description`, `params.config_profile_contact` and `params.config_profile_url` set to reasonable values. Users will get information on who wrote the configuration profile then when executing a nf-core pipeline and can report back if there are things missing for example.

## Checking user hostnames
If your cluster has a set of consistent hostnames, nf-core pipelines can check that users are using your profile.
Add one or more hostname substrings to `params.hostnames` under a key that matches the profile name.
If the user's hostname contains this string at the start of a run or when a run fails and their profile
does not contain the profile name, a warning message will be printed.
