 Reverse Proxy to securely and with as less configuration effort as possible expose Kopano to the public internet.
 
+In its default configuration this container will redirect requests to the root of the domain (so for example when opening https://kopano.demo/ in a browser) to https://kopano.demo/webapp. To redirect to a different path the environment variable `DEFAULTREDIRECT` needs to be configured.
+
+Example:
+```
+# the following value needs to be added to .env
+DEFAULTREDIRECT=/meet
+```
+
+## Information needed when not running your own reverse proxy
+
 The `kopano_webapp` container is accessible on port 9080 and serves the WebApp on `/webapp`.
