-# HomeassistantDocker Deployment
+# Home Assistant Docker Setup with Traefik
 
-This repository provides a `docker-compose` configuration for deploying the Homeassistant container, which is accessible via Traefik as a reverse proxy.
+This guide provides instructions for deploying Home Assistant using Docker and Traefik as a reverse proxy. The setup includes securing the Home Assistant instance with HTTPS and configuring a trusted proxy.
 
 ## Prerequisites
-- Docker and Docker Compose must be installed
-- Traefik must be set up as a reverse proxy
+- Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system
+- Traefik configured as your reverse proxy
+- A domain name pointing to your Home Assistant instance
 
-## Installation
+## Environment Variables
+Before deploying the container, create a `.env` file from the provided `.env-example` file and adjust the values as needed.
 
-1. **Configure the `.env` file**
-Rename the `.env-example` file to `.env` and update the file with your specific values. This file contains environment variables used by the Traefik service.
-
-```bash
-mv .env-example .env
-```
-Modify the .env file
+```sh
+cp .env-example .env
+nano .env
 ```
 
-2. **Start Docker-Compose**
+### `.env-example` file
+```ini
+# Home Assistant Version (Default: latest)
+HOMEASSISTANT_VERSION=latest
 
-   ```sh
-   docker-compose up -d
-   ```
+# Home Assistant Domain
+HOMEASSISTANT_DOMAIN=homeassistant.example.com
+```
 
-## Access
-Once the container is running, Homeassistant will be available at the configured domain.
+## Starting the Container
+Once the `.env` file is configured, start the Home Assistant container using:
+```sh
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+## Configuring the Reverse Proxy
+To enable proper proxy support in Home Assistant, update `data/config/configuration.yaml` with the following settings:
+
+### Finding the Local Subnet IP
+To determine the Docker subnet used by Home Assistant, run:
+```sh
+docker inspect homeassistant | grep Gateway
+```
+
+### `configuration.yaml`
+```yaml
+http:
+  ip_ban_enabled: true
+  login_attempts_threshold: 5
+  use_x_forwarded_for: true
+  trusted_proxies:
+    - 10.0.0.0/24 # Local Subnet
+    - 172.18.0.0/24 # Your Docker Subnet
+```
+
+## Accessing Home Assistant
+Once everything is set up, restart Home Assistant and it should be accessible via the configured domain:
+```
+https://homeassistant.example.com
+```
+
+If there are any issues, check the container logs with:
+```sh
+docker logs -f homeassistant
+```
