nginx / swag clarification

[dsm1212]

I'm already using swag. Is it possible to drop nginx from the compose file (stack in portainer)? It seems like the static files need to be accessible and they are inside the web recipes container so the local nginix is required. I just want to make sure I have this right. Assuming I need to keep the internal one, maybe move the swag info to it's own "using a reverse proxy" section so it's not muddled with the required nginx setup for the service.

At the top of the swag recipes conf file there is a comment if you are using authelia you should follow some link to github that is not valid. I just uncommented the authelia lines in the file like I usually do and it seems ok. What was I supposed to find at that link?

Using a .env file is difficult (or impossible?) with portainer. I gave up on that and just grepped the default settings out of the file and put them into the compose file under environment.

This is the most complex docker setup instruction I've encountered :-). I think the usual model of just providing a table of the required and not-required settings for each contianer is much easier to understand. Look at any of the linuxserver.io dockers. I know you are trying to be thorough here but I found the end result pretty confusing.

thanks!
