+First create a docker network called "proxy" usig the following command:
+```
+docker network create proxy
+```
+This is the network that traefik and all other containers that need to be automatically configured in traefik should use.
+
 Make directories in your homefolder like so:
 - ~/traefik
     - compose.yml
     - data
-        - acme.json # make sure to change permissions of this file with chmod 600 acme.json
+        - acme.json # make sure to change permissions of this file with ``` chmod 600 acme.json ```
         - config.yml
         - traefik.yml
 
 Use mkdir to make the folders and touch to create the json and yml files
 
 Basically:
-mkdir traefik
-cd traefik
-touch compose.yml
-mkdir data
-cd data
-touch acme.json
-chmod 600 acme.json
-touch config.yml
-touch traefik.yml
