 ### nginx-proxy stack
 
-1. [nginx-proxy](https://github.com/jwilder/nginx-proxy) acts as reverse proxy.
-   The nginx configs get automatically created based on environment variables.
+1. [nginx-proxy](https://github.com/jwilder/nginx-proxy) acts as reverse proxy for other containers.
    
 2. [acme-companion](https://github.com/nginx-proxy/acme-companion/)
    obtains certificates from [letsencrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/)
    used by the revsers proxy.
 
-#### Mailcow
-  - Edit `./data/conf.d/mailcow_proxy.conf` or delete it when not using mailcow
-  - When missing, create a hardlink to the config living in the `conf.d` subfolder: `ln ../mailcow_proxy.conf mailcow_proxy.conf`
+Both monitor the docker daemon via `/var/run/docker.sock` for newly created containers. Based on specific environment variables, see example below, the required configuration gets generated. 
+
+
+#### Examples 
+Important: Make sure the container is connected to the reverse-proxy_default network.
+##### docker-compose
+```
+  whoami:
+    image: jwilder/whoami
+    container_name: whoami
+    environment:
+      - VIRTUAL_HOST=whoami.example.com
+      - LETSENCRYPT_HOST=whoami.example.com
+      - LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL=webmaster@example.com
+```
 
-#### Get started
-To use the service of this stack, add to the respective `docker-compose.yml`:
+##### docker run 
 ```
-     environment:
-       VIRTUAL_HOST: www.example.com
-       LETSENCRYPT_HOST: www.example.com 
-       LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL: webmaster+web-www.letsencrypt.org@example.com
+docker run --rm --name whoami \
+           --env VIRTUAL_HOST=whoami.example.com \
+           --env LETSENCRYPT_HOST=whoami.example.com \
+           --env LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL=webmaster@example.com \
+           --network reverse-proxy_default \
+           jwilder/whoami  
+
 ```
 
 
+#### Mailcow
+To activate the configuration for  [mailcow](https://mailcow.email/):
+  - `cd` in `./data/conf.d/` and 
+  - create a hardlink `ln ../mailcow_proxy.conf mailcow_proxy.conf`
+
 #### Basic Auth
 `echo "someusername:"`echo "somepassword" openssl passwd -stdin` > ./data/htpasswd/www.example.com`
 to [enable basic auth for a vhost](https://github.com/jwilder/nginx-proxy#basic-authentication-support)
 or use the bash script in `./utils/setup_basic-auth.sh`
 
-
-#### Background
-Both containers listen on `/var/run/docker.sock` to see the environment variables of new containers coming up.
-
-
 #### Notes and pitfalls
 When changing domains while moving from development to production, perform a `docker system prune` prior to restarting the service.
