I was confused by the unix socket short documentation before finding the example, so I rewrote it!

I also did a quick editing pass on the rest of the readme.

I hope that's good but as I'm not that familiar with the tool, so tell me if there are mistakes that need correction.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Usage and migration guidance

The README updates Traefik requirements, introductory sections, warning formatting, and migration guidance.
TCP and Unix-socket configurations

The README documents the relevant parameters and adds Compose examples for TCP listeners and Unix-socket deployments.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5f3fb

Several Docker Compose examples in the README are currently misleading or invalid: duplicate YAML mappings may be rejected, the Unix-socket example cannot connect as documented, and the multiple-label example does not reliably show two entries. These documentation correctness issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Make the Unix socket path match the shared volume.

SP_PROXYSOCKETENDPOINT is /socket/proxy.sock, but socket-vol is mounted at /socket-vol/. The proxy socket is therefore not in the shared volume, while traefik expects /socket-vol/proxy.sock. Set the endpoint to /socket-vol/proxy.sock.

Use a distinct Docker label key for the second rule.

Docker exposes container.Summary.Labels as a map, so repeated socket-proxy.allow.get keys cannot preserve both values. Use socket-proxy.allow.get.1=/_ping, as supported by the label parser.

Remove the duplicate depends_on mappings.

dozzle and traefik each define depends_on twice. Keep the existing block for each service and remove the added duplicate. Duplicate YAML mapping keys make this Compose example ambiguous and can cause strict parsers to reject it.

Proposed fix
   dozzle:
     depends_on:
       - socket-proxy
-    depends_on:
-      - socket-proxy

   traefik:
     depends_on:
       - socket-proxy
-    depends_on:
-      - socket-proxy

Also applies to: 142-143
