+### Sample Configuration behind nginx
+
+Put this into your hostvars 
+```yaml
+# setup proxy
+matrix_ssl_retrieval_method: none
+matrix_nginx_proxy_https_enabled: false
+matrix_nginx_proxy_trust_forwarded_proto: true
+matrix_nginx_proxy_x_forwarded_for: '$proxy_add_x_forwarded_for'
+
+matrix_nginx_proxy_container_http_host_bind_port: '127.0.0.1:8181' # ->:443
+matrix_nginx_proxy_container_federation_host_bind_port: '127.0.0.1:8449' # -> 8449
+
+# Coturn relies on SSL certificates that have already been obtained and is not proxied.
+matrix_coturn_enabled: true
+matrix_coturn_tls_enabled: true
+matrix_coturn_tls_cert_path: /etc/letsencrypt/live/<your server name>/fullchain.pem
+matrix_coturn_tls_key_path: /etc/letsencrypt/live/<your server name>/privkey.pem
+
+```
+And use this configuration for your own reverse proxy in `/etc/nginx/conf.d/`. This assumes you have certbot running for your domain.
