+### Custom Metadata Service Endpoint
+
+For custom or non-standard metadata services, you can
+override the default IMDS endpoint by setting `IMDS_ENDPOINT` in
+`/etc/tiny-cloud.conf`:
+
+```sh
+# For Tinkerbell or other custom metadata services
+IMDS_ENDPOINT=192.0.2.1:50061
+```
+
+The default endpoint is `169.254.169.254` for most cloud providers. This
+setting allows you to specify a custom IP address and optional port for the
+metadata service.
