Is it possible, under the docker provider, to specify configuration options via labels without creating a custom name for each router or service? I would much rather let traefik determine the router and service names for my containers rather than having to manage and avoid conflicts myself. However most containers I use will always need a few non-default labels to define things such as server port and middlewares.
If traefik creates router/servers automatically, it will assign it a name. If you create it by specifying labels you will need to provide a name. Chose a naming convention that makes sense to you and stick to it. This way you will avoid the conflicts.
I guess what i am asking though is if providing/overriding configuration values via labels requires you to create a name or if there is a syntax that allows you to specify values without also naming the router/service. The v1 syntax for instance had no concept of names for specifying parameters via docker label.
I believe that this is the exhaustive list of everything you could use labels for. If it's not there then it does not exist.

Configuration has changed from 1.x to 2.x, no doubt but there was a similar concept in 1.x E.g: Segment Labels
Right I was simply hoping to avoid having to come up with a router and or service name for each container that i wanted to customize configurations for. It makes for less typing in the run command and easier copying similar configuration labels from other containers. Also coming up with and adhering to a naming convention seems like overkill when all i wanted to do was throw a compression middleware on a few containers and specify the port to use on another.
