+#
+# This script will:
+# 1. Take all necessary environment variables as command-line arguments.
+# 2. Verify that the required Docker Compose and Traefik files exist.
+# 3. Create the main project directory.
+# 4. Move the necessary configuration files into the new directory.
+# 5. Generate a .env file using the user-provided variables.
+# 6. Create an empty acme.json file for Traefik and set permissions.
+# 7. Start the services using podman-compose in detached mode.
+# 8. Restart the services to ensure they use the newly created .env file.
