 Run `docker stack deploy -c stack.yml ghost` (or `docker-compose -f stack.yml up`), wait for it to initialize completely, and visit `http://swarm-ip:8080`, `http://localhost:8080`, or `http://host-ip:8080` (as appropriate).
 
+### Production mode with Apache2 as reverse proxy
+You must update your configuration file, copy-and-paste the below block of configuration, amending it to suit your needs:
+```
+<VirtualHost *:*>
+        ProxyRequests Off
+        <Proxy *>
+          Order deny,allow
+          Allow from all
+        </Proxy>
+        ProxyPreserveHost on
+        ProxyPass "/"  "http://127.0.0.1:8080/"
+        ProxyPassReverse "/"  "http://127.0.0.1:8080/"
+        RequestHeader set "X-Forwarded-Proto" expr=%{REQUEST_SCHEME}
+        RequestHeader set "X-Forwarded-SSL" expr=%{HTTPS}
+</VirtualHost>
+```
+For the proxy feature you should install:
+```sh
+sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-proxy-html
+sudo a2enmod proxy
+sudo a2enmod proxy_html
+sudo a2enmod proxy_http
+sudo a2enmod headers
+sudo service apache2 restart
+```
