-auto-nginx - for setting up a simple nginx config for further tweaking
\ No newline at end of file
+this is a work under construction. i have yet to finish this, but it is a simple start for someone who have never created a script longer than 4 lines before.
+
+project plan:
+* actually learn to hack together something that looks like a bash scripts
+* 
+* hopefully have a finished configuration in the end
+
+what this is supposed to do when it is finished:
+* create a simple nginx reverse-proxy configuration, ready for deployment
+* be able to run certbot and add ssl encryption to the reverse-proxy
+* support arguments to the command, for setup
+* optionally: harden the configuration to secure your precious server
