Description

## Describe the bug

The documentation contradicts itself.

## To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

compose.yml

Read:

> [DOCKER_PROXY_ACME_PROFILE] setting to an empty string [""]
> [DOCKER_PROXY_ACME_PROFILE="disabled"]

## Expected behavior

To disable the ssl nginx proxy, I would like to have one way of doing it.

### Screenshots

```
# HTTP/HTTPS proxy
#
# Sits in front of the *real* webserver and manages SSL and (optionally)
# load-balancing between multiple web servers
#
# You can disable this service by setting [DOCKER_PROXY_PROFILE="disabled"]
# in your [.env] file - the setting is near the bottom of the file.
#
# This also disables the [proxy-acme] service, if this is not desired, change the
# [DOCKER_PROXY_ACME_PROFILE] setting to an empty string [""]
#
# See: https://github.com/nginx-proxy/nginx-proxy/tree/main/docs

```

```
# Proxy companion for managing letsencrypt SSL certificates
#
# You can disable this service by setting [DOCKER_PROXY_ACME_PROFILE="disabled"]
# in your [.env] file - the setting is near the bottom of the file.
#
# See: https://github.com/nginx-proxy/acme-companion/tree/main/docs

```

Research direction

Compare the proxy and ACME setting comments shown for compose.yml and the .env file, then check scripts/debug-info for the expected configuration context. Done means the documentation gives one consistent way to disable the SSL proxy and clearly explains the resulting ACME service behavior.
