+## Circuit Relay
+
+This 'production' environment for this boilerplate sets up a series of Docker containers, orchestrated with Docker Compose. This boilerplate code can be run without modification, in order to set up a [Circuit Relay](https://docs.libp2p.io/concepts/circuit-relay/) and support the PSF network. You can get paid a [bounty](https://github.com/Permissionless-Software-Foundation/bounties) for doing so, in PSF tokens. See the section below on setting up a Production Docker Container.

 ### Development Environment
 
+**Note:** This software now uses an external go-ipfs IPFS node. The instructions below have not been updated to reflect this.
+
 A development environment will allow you modify the code on-the-fly and contribute to the code base of this repository. [PM2](https://www.npmjs.com/package/pm2) is recommended for running this code base as an IPFS Circuit Relay.

 ### Production Environment
 
-The [docker](./production/docker) directory contains a Dockerfile for building a production deployment. However, there is currently [a bug](https://github.com/Permissionless-Software-Foundation/ipfs-service-provider/issues/38) preventing the Docker container from being used as a Circuit Relay.

 ### Operation Notes
 
 - There is a memory leak in the version of js-ipfs. The app is currently configured to shut down every 8 hours to flush memory. It relies on a process manager like pm2, Docker, or systemd to restart the app after it shuts down, in order to ensure continuous operation.
 
+- The PSF network operates as a private network. It does not connect or interact with the wider PSF network, relying instead on gateways to bridge the two networks, when they need to share content. This improves the performance and experience for everyone in the PSF network. To join the network, you'll need to add the [swarm.key](./swarm.key) file to the IPFS data folder.

+- [Instructions on setting up IPFS private networks.](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/docs/experimental-features.md#private-networks)
+- For external installations, the swarm.key file will typically go in `~/.ipfs/swarm.key`
+- For production Docker containers, the key would go in `ipfs-service-provider/production/data/go-ipfs/data/swarm.key`
