+## Using the apache image behind a reverse proxy and auto configure server host and protocol
+
+The apache image will replace the remote addr (ip address visible to Nextcloud) with the ip address from `X-Real-IP` if the request is coming from a proxy in 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12 or 192.168.0.0/16 by default. If you want Nextcloud to pick up the server host (`HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST`), protocol (`HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO`) and client ip (`HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR`) from a trusted proxy disable rewrite ip and the reverse proxies ip address to `TRUSTED_PROXIES`.
+
+- `APACHE_DISABLE_REWRITE_IP` (not set by default): Set to 1 to disable rewrite ip.
+
+- `TRUSTED_PROXIES` (empty by default): A space-separated list of trusted proxies. CIDR notation is supported for IPv4.
+
 # Running this image with docker-compose
 The easiest way to get a fully featured and functional setup is using a `docker-compose` file. There are too many different possibilities to setup your system, so here are only some examples of what you have to look for.
