+To use backend and frontend together you need a reverse proxy that combines both services under one URL origin.
+
+We provide a ready to use config for caddy.
+Make sure that the backend is running on port 3000 with the env var HD_DOMAIN set to `http://localhost:8080` and the frontend is running on port 3001 with the env var HD_EDITOR_BASE_URL set to `http://localhost:8080/`.
+
+You can either use the script `run-caddy.sh` in this directory or download a caddy binary from [caddy](https://caddyserver.com/) and start it using `caddy run`.

-To use backend and frontend together you need a reverse proxy that combines both services under one origin.
-
-We provide a ready to use config for nginx and caddy.
-Make sure that in the backend HD_DOMAIN is set to `http://localhost:8080`.
-
-If you have docker you can use our docker-compose file that starts a nginx using `docker-compose up`.
-If you're on Windows or macOS you rather might want to download [caddy](https://caddyserver.com/) and start it using `caddy run` in this directory.
