 **Note:** An official Docker image is about to come. Also, there will be no need to mount your config file into the container, as everything will be configurable using environment variables eventually.
 
+### Reverse Proxy
+To run this app behind a reverse proxy, see [here](https://github.com/muety/wakapi/wiki/Reverse-Proxy) for example configurations for different web servers (works analogously for MailWhale). In addition, `MW_WEB_PUBLIC_URL` (or `web.public_url`, respectively) must be configured accordingly (set to the absolute URL of your MailWhale instance). Also see [#43](https://github.com/muety/mailwhale/issues/43).
