 Or it can be done by mounting in your custom configuration in your `docker run` command:
 
-    $ docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -v /path/to/my_custom_proxy.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/my_custom_proxy.conf:ro -v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock jwilder/nginx-proxy

 #### Per-VIRTUAL_HOST
 
 To add settings on a per-`VIRTUAL_HOST` basis, add your configuration file under `/etc/nginx/vhost.d`. Unlike in the proxy-wide case, which allows mutliple config files with any name ending in `.conf`, the per-`VIRTUAL_HOST` file must be named exactly after the `VIRTUAL_HOST`.
 
-In order to allow virtual hosts to be dynamically configured as backends are added and removed, it makes the most sense to mount an external directory as `/etc/nginx/vhost.d` as oppposed to using derived images or mounting individual configuration files.

 For example, if you have a virtual host named `app.example.com`, you could provide a custom configuration for that host as follows:
