 # Docker registry with read only access
 
-This is the configuration for a docker registry UI using `REGISTRY_URL` (as a proxy) with read only access to the registry.
+This example will override the original nginx conf with read only access to the registry. You will need to rewrite all the project configuration (replaces `proxy_pass` with your own value, in this example `http://registry:5000` is fine).
 
 There are two htpasswd files. `read-write.htpasswd` a read and write access to the registry and `read-only.htpasswd` for a read only access.
