Can traefik expose containers that do not run on the same server?

[Boerny41]

Hi,

I've got an VPS currently running NPM in docker and I'd like to switch to traefik.
I set things up but at this point I'm not sure on how to expose containers that do not run on said VPS but on a local server.

Both servers are connected via VPN and before with NPM I could just tell it to expose
VPN_IP_of_local_server:1234 -> myContainer.myDomain.tld

Is this also possible with traefik?

You can enter a service in the dynamic configuration and set the server url to the vpn tunneled service. Ofcourse Traefik needs access to that address.

Proxy to real host on another machine

Hi there, i am very new to traefik and starting to do some testing with it. I got some Docker Containers working with Traefik 2.2 and letsencrypt. I have a real webserver on another (virtual) machine with its own IP Adress. How can i proxy traffic, that is incoming on my traefik machine on port 443 with auto-generating letsencrypt certs (ssl termination) to a real machine with a running webserver on port 80. Can you give me some hints how to do that. thx Wolfgang
