 ## Instructions
 
-1. Copy `env.example` to `.env`
-2. Change `.env` variable values as needed
-3. To generate a new `username:password`, use `htpasswd -nb user pass`, then copy user to `DASHBOARD_USER` and pass to `DASHBOARD_PASSWORD` in .env file
-4. Change `docker-compose.yml` if necessary
-5. To validate and view the Compose file run `docker-compose config`
-6. Create a network `doccker network create net` as defined `NETWORK` in .env
-7. Start the container using `docker-compose up` or `docker-compose up -d`
-8. Browse to `dashboard.localhost` or the dashboard url you defined (see in .env)
-9. If you are using localhost, allow the self-signed certificate on your browser (Accept/Proceed in advanced option)
-10. Login using `user:pass` (or what you have set in `.env` file)
-11. To stop (`docker-compose stop`) and remove the containers run `docker-compose down`

 [Træfɪk](https://github.com/containous/traefik) is a modern HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer that makes deploying microservices easy.
 Træfik integrates with your existing infrastructure components ([Docker](https://www.docker.com/), [Swarm mode](https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/), [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io), [Marathon](https://mesosphere.github.io/marathon/), [Consul](https://www.consul.io/), [Etcd](https://coreos.com/etcd/), [Rancher](https://rancher.com), [Amazon ECS](https://aws.amazon.com/ecs), ...) and configures itself automatically and dynamically.
