+# Deploying WorkAdventure in production
+
+This directory contains a sample production deployment of WorkAdventure using docker-compose.
+
+Every production environment is different and this docker-compose file will not
+fit all use cases. But it is intended to be a good starting point for you 
+to build your own deployment.
+
+In this docker-compose file, you will find:
+
+- A reverse-proxy (Traefik) that dispatches requests to the WorkAdventure containers and handles HTTPS certificates using LetsEncrypt
+- A front container (nginx) that servers static files (HTML/JS/CSS)
+- A pusher container (NodeJS) that is the point of entry for users (you can start many if you want to increase performance)
+- A back container (NodeJS) that shares your rooms information
+- An icon container to fetch the favicon of sites imported in iframes
+- A Redis server to store values from variables originating from the Scripting API
+
+```mermaid
+graph LR
+    A[Browser] --> B(Traefik)
+    subgraph docker-compose
+    B --> C(Front)
+    B --> D(Pusher)
+    B --> E(Icon)
+    D --> F(Back)
+    F --> G(Redis)
+    end
+    A .-> H(Map)
+    F .-> H
+```
+
+**Important**: the default docker-compose file does **not** contain a container dedicated to hosting maps. The documentation and
+tutorials are relying on GitHub Pages to host the maps. If you want to self-host your maps, you will need to add a simple 
+HTTP server (nginx / Apache, ...) and properly configure the [CORS settings as explained in the documentation](../../docs/maps/hosting.md).
