# This is the file the Docker Hub description points at, so it is written

      # Put a TLS-terminating proxy in front of this in any real install.
      # ProjectSend issues download links and password-reset emails using
      # APP_URL, so that value — not this port — is what users must reach.
      #
      # Bound to the loopback address, not to every interface, because
      # TRUSTED_PROXIES below is "*". That setting tells the application to
      # believe the X-Forwarded-For header of whoever connects to it, which
      # is correct behind a proxy and catastrophic when anybody can connect
      # directly: a visitor who reaches this port themselves is then the
      # "proxy", and can hand the application any client IP they like —
      # which is enough to walk straight through the login lockout, every
      # named rate limit, and the address recorded in the download log.
      #
      # Publishing on the loopback address keeps the proxy (on this host,
      # or in this compose file) able to reach it while nothing off the
      # machine can. If you move the proxy to another host, publish on the
      # interface it comes from and narrow TRUSTED_PROXIES to that address
      # or subnet at the same time — the two settings only make sense
      # together.
