+## Example without any proxy
+
+This example lets you host Vikunja without any reverse proxy in front of it. This is the absolute minimum configuration 
+you need to get something up and running. If you want to host Vikunja on one single port instead of two different ones 
+or need tls termination, check out one of the other examples.
+
+Not that you need to change the `VIKUNJA_API_URL` environment variable to the ip (the docker host you're running this on) 
+is reachable at. Because the browser you'll use to access the Vikunja frontend uses that url to make the requests, it 
+has to be able to reach that ip + port from the outside. Putting everything in a private network won't work.
