 ### Offline usage
 
-If you want to use an existing config available in `nf-core/configs`, and you're running on a system that has no internet connection, you'll need to download the config file and place it in a location that is visible to the file system on which you are running the pipeline. You can then run the pipeline with the `-c` parameter - see [Testing](#testing) for example.
+If you want to use an existing config available in `nf-core/configs`, and you're running on a system that has no internet connection, you'll need to download the config file and place it in a location that is visible to the file system on which you are running the pipeline. Then run the pipeline with `--custom_config_base`
+or `params.custom_config_base` set to the location of the directory containing the repository files:
+
+```bash
+## Download and unzip the config files
+cd /path/to/my/configs
+wget https://github.com/nf-core/configs/archive/master.zip
+unzip master.zip
+
+## Run the pipeline
+cd /path/to/my/data
+nextflow run /path/to/pipeline/ --custom_config_base /path/to/my/configs/configs-master/
+```
+
+Alternatively, instead of using the configuration profiles from this repository, you can run your
+pipeline directly calling the single institutional config file that you need with the `-c` parameter.
+
+```bash
+nextflow run /path/to/pipeline/ -c /path/to/my/configs/configs-master/conf/my_config.config
+```
+
+> Note that the nf-core/tools helper package has a `download` command to download all required pipeline
+> files + singularity containers + institutional configs in one go for you, to make this process easier.
 
 ## Adding a new config
 
 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.

+# nf-core/configs: MENDEL Configuration
+
+All nf-core pipelines have been successfully configured for use on the MENDEL CLUSTER at the Gregor Mendel Institute (GMI).
+
+To use, run the pipeline with `-profile conda,mendel`. This will download and launch the [`mendel.config`](../conf/mendel.config) which has been pre-configured with a setup suitable for the MENDEL cluster. A Conda environment will be created automatically and software dependencies will be downloaded from ['bioconda'](https://bioconda.github.io/).
+
+Theoretically, using `-profile singularity,mendel` would download a docker image containing all of the required software, and convert it to a Singularity image before execution of the pipeline. However, there is a regression in the Singularity deployment on MENDEL which renders containers downloaded from public repositories unusable because they lack the /lustre mountpoint.
+
+If you want to run the pipeline containerized anyway you will have to build the image yourself (on a machine where you have root access) using the provided `Singularity` file in the pipeline repository:
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/pipeline-repository
+echo 'mkdir /lustre > Singularity'
+singularity build nf-core-methylseq-custom.simg Singularity
+```
+
+After you copied the container image to the cluster filesystem, make sure to pass the path to the image to the pipeline with `-with-singularity /path/to/nf-core-methylseq-custom.simg`
+
+Before running the pipeline you will need to load Nextflow and Conda using the environment module system on MENDEL. You can do this by issuing the commands below:
+
+```bash
+## Load Nextflow and Conda environment modules
+module purge
+module load Nextflow
+module load Miniconda3 # not needed if using Singularity
+```
+
+>NB: You will need an account to use the HPC cluster in order to run the pipeline. If in doubt contact the HPC team.
+
+>NB: Nextflow will need to submit the jobs via the job scheduler to the HPC cluster and as such the commands above will have to be executed on one of the login nodes. If in doubt contact the HPC team.
