+# didn't want to mix traefik and nginx so stopped using for now may pick up later
+# using mariadb for mysql connection. already setup within .env if checked
+# even after getting working couldn't quite get it to post to facebook or twitter
+# Will likely use n8n or node-red instead. Seems all these softwares go to paid plans eventually
