Hello @transistor,

Thanks for your interest in Traefik!

As the forwarded request contains the `/portainer` path a `404 Not Found` error is returned by Portainer because it does not exist.

To remove the `/portainer` path from the forwarded request you can use the [strip prefix middleware](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/middlewares/stripprefix/). The following labels have to be added to the portainer container:

```auto
- "traefik.http.routers.portainer-secure.middlewares=portainer-stripprefix"
- "traefik.http.middlewares.portainer-stripprefix.stripprefix.prefixes=/portainer"

```

With those labels, the `404` error is fixed but the portainer UI is not loading properly.

That's because the UI requests don't contain the portainer path (which is required to match the `router` rule). It seems that it's currently not possible to configure portainer to add this prefix: [[FEAT] Add path prefix to web UI · Issue #3901 · portainer/portainer · GitHub](https://github.com/portainer/portainer/issues/3901)

IMO the only solution is to use a dedicated domain in the `router` rule.
