Update README.md -- 1.10 is EOL

This dependency causes the lsmbdata volume to be forcibly created from the lsmb container
which means that the correct assets will be copied in.

+## Docker Compose with reverse proxy
+
+The `docker-compose-reverseproxy.yml` file shows a docker-compose setup
+which adds an Nginx reverse proxy configuration on top of the base
+`docker-compose.yml` configuration file. If the content of this repository
+is cloned into the current directory (`git clone https://github.com/ledgersmb/ledgersmb-docker.git ; cd ledgersmb-docker`), it can be used as:
+
+```plain
+ $ docker-compose \
+    -f docker-compose.yml \
+    -f docker-compose-reverseproxy.yml \
+       up -d
+```
+
+This setup can be used in combination with an image which runs the
+Certbot certificate renewal process *and* Nginx to do TLS termination. The
+default reverse proxy is mostly an example; it publishes on
+[http://localhost:8080/](http://localhost:8080/).
+
+An example of such an image can be found at
+[https://github.com/jonasalfredsson/docker-nginx-certbot](https://github.com/jonasalfredsson/docker-nginx-certbot),
+which is published on Docker Hub as
+[jonasal/nginx-certbot](https://hub.docker.com/r/jonasal/nginx-certbot).
+
+**Upgrade note** When upgrading this setup, please remove the volume ending
+in `_lsmbdata` before starting the upgraded containers. Without that, the
+webcontent won't be upgraded! E.g.:
+
+```plain
+  $ docker-compose \
+      -f docker-compose.yml \
+      -f docker-compose-reverseproxy.yml \
+        rm -s -f -v && \
+    docker volume rm ledgersmb-docker_lsmbdata && \
