 ### System configuration
 
-SSH into your instance. Use `apt-get update; apt-get install git docker.io` to install basic prerequisites. The install script for docker.io should automatically create a "docker" system group - use `usermod -aG docker myuser` to add `myuser` (or whichever user you want to run docker as) to the `docker` group.

 ### Networking
 
-If you'd like your docker instance to run on the public internet, it's a good idea to run something like nginx or Apache httpd in front of the docker image, and limit public access to your application to ports 80 and 443 (and probably port 22 for SSH access), doing an HTTPS redirect on requests to port 80 in order to ensure data sent to and from your application is always encrypted. We recommend LetsEncrypt/certbot for free certificates that deploy very easily with miscellaneous server configurations. Example configuration for nginx and Ubuntu 18.04:
