+# make sure that your dns has a cname set for shlink and that your shlink container is not using a base url
+# NOTE: While the domain name here is 'shlink', the container it really points to is the separate
+# shlink-web-client container. You'll need to make a docker compose stack with both the shlink container (back end)
+# and the shlink-web-client container (Web UI). This will point it to the URL: shlink.<yourdomain.com> for the Web UI
+# while using the shlink back end for the rest.
