 ## Step 1 — Run the whoami container
 
-Add `whoami` to your existing `docker-compose.yml` under the `services:` block:
-
-```yaml
-  whoami:
-    image: traefik/whoami
-    container_name: whoami
-    restart: unless-stopped
-```
-
-Then start it:
+Start `whoami` as a standalone container with a published port:
 
 ```bash
-docker compose up -d whoami
+docker run -d --name whoami -p 8081:80 --restart unless-stopped traefik/whoami
 ```
 
-Because it's in the same Compose file, `whoami` joins the same Docker network as Envoy and is reachable by its service name — no ports need to be published.
+It runs independently — no changes to your existing `docker-compose.yml` needed.
