Hi,

I have this in my docker-composer.yml

```auto
  traefik:
    container_name: traefik
    image: traefik:alpine
    restart: always
    networks:
      - skynet
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/Copenhagen   
    ports:
      - 80:80
      - 443:443
      - 8080:8080
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
      - /home/klapvogn/docker/data/traefik/config/traefik.toml:/etc/traefik/traefik.toml
      - /home/klapvogn/docker/data/traefik/config/acme.json:/acme.json
    labels:
      - "traefik.http.routers.dashboard.rule=Host(`traefik.domain.tld`) && (PathPrefix(`/api`) || PathPrefix(`/dashboard`))"
      - "traefik.http.routers.dashboard.service=api@internal"
      - "traefik.http.routers.dashboard.middlewares=auth"
      - "traefik.http.middlewares.auth.basicauth.users=xxxx:xxxx" 

```

It works when I do : IP:8080/dashboard/  
but not when I do : traefik.domain.tld

what have I done wrong?

Share your static config `traefik.toml`.

Doesn’t make sense. You have no 8080 `entrypoint` and no `api.insecure=true`. There should be nothing listening on port 8080.

Check [simple Traefik example](https://github.com/bluepuma77/traefik-best-practice/tree/main/docker-traefik-dashboard-letsencrypt).

</div>

So how do I add 8080 to the entrypoint?  
I have added

```auto
[api]
  dashboard = true
  insecure = true

```

What do you want to achieve? With `insecure` an automatic entrypoint on 8080 is created.

You need to use `traefik.domain.tld/dashboard/`.

I have now been looking at : [simple Traefik example](https://github.com/bluepuma77/traefik-best-practice/tree/main/docker-traefik-dashboard-letsencrypt) an I have this now:

```auto
  traefik:
    container_name: traefik
    image: traefik:alpine
    restart: always
    networks:
      - skynet
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/Copenhagen   
    ports:
      - 80:80
      - 443:443
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
      - /home/xxx/docker/data/traefik/config/traefik.toml:/etc/traefik/traefik.toml
      - /home/xxx/docker/data/traefik/config/acme.json:/acme.json
    labels:
      - traefik.enable=true
      - traefik.http.routers.mydashboard.rule=Host(`whoami.domain.tld`)
      - traefik.http.routers.mydashboard.service=api@internal
      - traefik.http.routers.mydashboard.middlewares=myauth
      - traefik.http.middlewares.myauth.basicauth.users=klapvogn:xxxx

  whoami:
    image: traefik/whoami:v1.8
    networks:
      - skynet
    labels:
      - traefik.enable=true
      - traefik.http.routers.mywhoami.rule=Host(`whoami.domain.tld`) || Host(`www.whoami.domain.tld`)
      - traefik.http.services.mywhoami.loadbalancer.server.port=80

      - traefik.http.middlewares.mywwwredirect.redirectregex.regex=^https://www\.(.*)
      - traefik.http.middlewares.mywwwredirect.redirectregex.replacement=https://$${1}
      - traefik.http.routers.mywhoami.middlewares=mywwwredirect 

```

So the link you linked does not use `traefik.toml` ?

Traefik static config can be in `traefik.yml/.toml` or in `command`.
