This is currently how im using silverbullet. You can take a look at my [blog](https://infophreak.com/hosting-silverbullet-md-read-only-admin-with-docker-digitalocean-cloudflare-and-nginx/). However, i found some issues with the original method of accessing the admin site. You can read the issue i was having [here](https://community.silverbullet.md/t/read-only-site-not-displaying-images-in-subfolders/1026/3). Essentially, the admin side can’t be password protected. I removed the admin route in nginx and removed the environment user/pass. I then setup cloudflare tunnel access to get to the admin on localhost. I’m in the process of redoing that blog with this current admin solution. For now, you can check out [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OYWOPlWFFY&t=78s) that i used to setup my admin side. [This one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZE_wGRTXOc) is good too. There are some other good videos as well that describe the same setup. I set mine up to only allow my email and authentication is through github. It’s worth mentioning that if you are running silverbullet in docker, when you setup cloudflare tunnel, do not do the docker setup for that. Install cloudflare tunnel locally on your host. It will save you hours of pulling your hair out troubleshooting the complexities of docker network routing. I did eventually find a way, but i wouldnt recommend it to others due to it being a very new feature docker has added, and im not too familiar with how well its supported. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.silverbullet.md/t/live-updates-to-a-read-only-instance/1065)._
