Can't get basic auth to work with dashboard

Traefik Traefik v2

Attempting to setup basic auth with traffic, using yml files with the following setup.

middlewares.yml - basic auth middleware only

http:
  middlewares:
    basic-auth:
      basicAuth:
        usersFile: /shared/.htpasswd

traefik.yml - Traefik configs only focused on api and dashboard functionality

api:
  dashboard: true

entryPoints:
  web:
    address: ":80"
  websecure:
    address: ":443"
  traefik:
    address: ":8080"

global:
  checknewversion: true
  # sendanonymoususage: true

log:
  level: DEBUG
  # filepath: /traefik.event.log
  format: json

accesslog:
  filepath: /traefik.access.log
  format: json
  bufferingsize: 100
  filters:
    statusCodes: 400-599

providers:
  docker:
    exposedByDefault: false
    swarmMode: false
  file:
    watch: true
    directory: "/rules"

app-dashboard.yml - file providing router setup for API and dashboard

http:
  routers:
    traefik:
      entryPoints: web
      rule: "Host(`traefik.docker.localhost`) && (PathPrefix(`/api`) || PathPrefix(`/dashboard`))"
      service: api@internal
      middlewares:
        - basic-auth@file

Docker-compose.yml file putting it all together and firing things up

version: "3.8"

networks: 
  t2_proxy:
    external: true
  default:
    driver: bridge

services:

  reverse-proxy:
      # The official v2.0 Traefik docker image
      image: traefik:latest
      container_name: traefik
      # Enables the web UI and tells Traefik to listen to docker
      ports:
        # The HTTP port
        - target: 80
          published: 80
          protocol: tcp
          mode: host
        # The Web UI (enabled by --api.insecure=true)
        - target: 8080
          published: 8080
          protocol: tcp
          mode: host
        - target: 443
          published: 443
          protocol: tcp
          mode: host
      volumes:
        # So that Traefik can listen to the Docker events
        - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
        - ${docker_dir}\traefik\rules:/rules
        - ${docker_dir}\traefik\traefik.yml:/traefik.yml:ro
        - ${docker_dir}\traefik\traefik.access.log:/traefik.access.log
        - ${docker_dir}\shared\.htpasswd:/shared/.htpasswd
      networks:
        - t2_proxy

ultimately this setup leads me to 404 errors no matter what I try to get to
traefik.docker.localhost
traefik.docker.localhost/dashbaord
traefik.docker.localhost/api/rawdata
traefik.docker.localhost:8080/dashboard
traefik.docker.localhost:8080/api/rawdata

The configuration does not hit the router, that's why you got 404.

  1. Seems that you have to enable Insecure mode for the dashboard as it is described here:

https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/operations/dashboard/#insecure-mode

You mentioned that in the comment, however, I can't find it in your config files.

  1. Don't forget that trailing slash is mandatory: /, /dashboard/ when you are accessing the dashboard.

  2. The correct example you can find on that repo:

Ok the following setup still getting 404
