Add Docusaurus frontmatter and improve documentation structure
- Add sidebar_position to all documentation files (1-15)
- Add "Configuration Reference" section to README.md with links to:
  - Container Labels
  - Environment Variables
  - Volumes
  - Other Configurations
  - Limitations
- Ensure sidebar_position values match README.md link order exactly
- Order follows logical flow: Platform installation → Tool installation → Special topics → Configuration reference
- All documentation now properly configured for Docusaurus

# Docker
## Setup Docker EasyHAProxy
This method involves using a standalone Docker installation to discover containers
and configure HAProxy.
EasyHAProxy inspects Docker containers and retrieves labels to configure HAProxy.
Once it identifies a container with at least the label 'easyhaproxy.http.host,'
it configures HAProxy to redirect traffic to that container.
To accomplish this, EasyHAProxy may need to attach the same network to its container.
It's recommended to create a network external to EasyHAProxy, although it's not mandatory.
Limitations:
- You cannot mix Docker containers with Swarm containers.
- This method does not work with containers that use the '--network=host' option. (see [limitations](limitations.md))
e.g.:
```bash
docker network create easyhaproxy
```
And then run the EasyHAProxy
```bash
docker run -d \
--name easy-haproxy-container \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
-e EASYHAPROXY_DISCOVER="docker" \
# + Environment Variables \
-p 80:80 \
-p 443:443 \
-p 1936:1936 \
--network easyhaproxy
byjg/easy-haproxy
```
Mapping to `/var/run/docker.sock` is necessary to discover the docker containers and get the labels;
## Running containers
To make your containers "discoverable" by EasyHAProxy, that is the minimum configuration you need:
```bash
docker run -d \
--label easyhaproxy.http.host=example.org \
--label easyhaproxy.http.port=80 \
--label easyhaproxy.http.localport=8080 \
--network easyhaproxy
my/image:tag
```
Once the container is running, EasyHAProxy will detect automatically and start to redirect all traffic from `example.org:80` to your container.
You don't need to expose any port in your container.
Please follow the [docker label configuration](container-labels.md) to see other configurations available.
## Setup the EasyHAProxy container
You can configure the behavior of the EasyHAProxy by setup specific environment variables. To get a list of the variables, please follow the [environment variable guide](environment-variable.md)
## Setup certificates with ACME (e.g. Letsencrypt)
Follow [this link](acme.md)
## Setup your own certificates
Follow [this link](ssl.md)
