Defining non docker services with labels

Universal · October 14, 2019, 5:45pm

I have all of my docker based services successfully running traefik v2.0.1. I however also want to setup the same for my external services such as my pihole's running on rPi3's. As I understand it I can do it via file provider like:

http:
  routers:
    pihole-1:
      entryPoints:
        - web
      rule: "Host(`pihole-1.homenet.mydomain.com`)"
      service: pihole-1
      tls:
        certResolver: "mydnschallenge"
        domains:
          - main: "mydomain.com"
          - sans: "*.mydomain.com"
  services:
    pihole-1:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
          - url: "http://192.168.1.2:80"
        passHostHeader: true

But is there a way to do it via labels? I cannot see a way to define the URL IP to the specific service. Does this mean I need to convert all of my docker labels for all of my containers into a file such as rules.yml and use that method instead?

Hello,

I'm not sure to understand your goal.

You can use multiple providers a the same time: docker, file, ...

Universal · October 14, 2019, 7:02pm

That I didn't realize. I assumed it was only possible to use one at a time..

Universal · October 14, 2019, 7:54pm

I added:

      - "--providers.file.filename=rules.yml"
      - "--providers.file.directory=/opt/docker/traefik"
      - "--providers.file.watch=true"

To the docker-compose commands, I can see that file is listed under traefik dashboard providers now but it does not appear to see/read the rules.yml file as the services are not being created that are defined within.

ldez · October 14, 2019, 11:05pm

--providers.file.filename and --providers.file.directory are mutually exclusive, so you have to use only one, I recommend --providers.file.directory

Universal · October 15, 2019, 1:17am

I've been struggling to get traefik to read the rules.yml still. No router or services that are defined within the rules.yml are being created, am I just mounting it to the wrong directory?

Related file provider configs in my docker-compose.yml:

command:
 "--providers.file.directory=/etc/traefik"
 "--providers.file.watch=true"
 "--providers.docker=true"
 "--providers.docker.exposedbydefault=false"
volumes:
- /opt/docker/traefik/rules.yml:/etc/traefik/rules.yml

And here is my rules.yml:

http:
  routers:
    pihole-1:
      entryPoints:
        - websecure
      rule: "Host(`pihole-1.mydomain.com`)"
      tls:
        certResolver: "mydnschallenge"
        domains:
          - main: "mydomain.com"
          - sans: "*.mydomain.com"
          service: pihole-1
  services:
    pihole-1:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
          - url: "http://192.168.1.2:80"
        passHostHeader: true

Thank you for the help Idez, I am so close to getting all my services covered, I've spent the past 2 hours trying to debug.

Try this version (same content but different syntax):

http:
  routers:
    pihole-1:
      entryPoints:
        - websecure
      rule: "Host(`pihole-1.mydomain.com`)"
	  service: pihole-1
      tls:
        certResolver: "mydnschallenge"
        domains:
          - main: "mydomain.com"
            sans:
              - "*.mydomain.com"
  services:
    pihole-1:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
          - url: "http://192.168.1.2:80"
        passHostHeader: true

Universal · October 15, 2019, 5:19pm

Thanks for taking a look over my syntax I gave it a shot but traefik still isn't creating the router or service, I'm thinking that perhaps I am not mounting the rules.yml into the right directory for traefik to find since there is nothing inside of /etc/traefik before I mount the rules there.

Thanks for sharing, its already pretty similar to mine I did turn on debug though and went through the logs, here is what I am getting:

time="2019-10-15T14:26:40-04:00" level=info msg="Starting provider *file.Provider {\"watch\":true,\"filename\":\"rules.yml\"}"

Iosif · October 15, 2019, 6:42pm

There's a problem with your yaml file on line 6. Can you please post it?

Universal · October 15, 2019, 6:54pm

It is the same rules.yml as what you posted above with the altered syntax.

http:
  routers:
    pihole-1:
      entryPoints:
        - websecure
      rule: "Host(`pihole-1.mydomainname.com`)"
          service: pihole-1
      tls:
        certResolver: "mydnschallenge"
        domains:
          - main: "mydomainname.com"
            sans:
              - "*.mydomainname.com"
  services:
    pihole-1:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
          - url: "http://192.168.1.2:80"
        passHostHeader: true

Line 6 would be the router rule. (sanitized)

Here is my docker-compose:

You had 3 spaces instead of 2 on line 7:
Try this:

http:
  routers:
    pihole-1:
      entryPoints:
        - websecure
      rule: "Host(`pihole-1.mydomainname.com`)"

        certResolver: "mydnschallenge"
        domains:

Whoops, well that worked! Thank you.

Iosif · October 16, 2019, 1:53pm

My pleasure, everything ok now ?

Universal · October 16, 2019, 2:19pm

I'm sure its just some small config changes to the file to make it work now as I am getting an unable to connect error to https://pihole-1.homenet.mydomain.com.

I do see the router and service from the file in the dashboard now though.

time="2019-10-16T10:09:59-04:00" level=debug msg="Try to challenge certificate for domain [pihole-1.homenet.mydomain.com] founded in HostSNI rule" routerName=pihole-1 rule="Host(`pihole-1.homenet.mydomain.com`)" providerName=mydnschallenge.acme

Also making changes to the rules.yml seems to require a restart of traefik for the configs to take, I thought traefik would watch for changes automatically without a restart required.

Iosif · October 17, 2019, 7:28am

The fact that the log mentions HostSNI is weird as in the last config that you shared you didn't had anything related to HostSNI. As per documentation HostSNI is related to the TCP routers and Host is related to the HTTP routers.

Host
HostSNI

I would recommend a double check of the latest version of your files (yml and compose) and then posting them again here if you didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

Universal · October 17, 2019, 1:19pm

I am seeing that in my logs but yeah I'm not certain as my files don't contain anything relevant to tcp I think, none of my other containers are using it. I did make some changes to my files which are below, namely I took your approach to redirecting http to https as it was more elegant then my own.

services:
  traefik:
    container_name: "traefik"
    image: traefik:v2.0.2

      - "traefik.http.services.traefik.loadbalancer.server.port=8080"
      - "traefik.http.middlewares.redirect-to-https.redirectscheme.scheme=https"
      - "traefik.http.routers.redirs.rule=hostregexp(`{host:.+}`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.redirs.entrypoints=web"
      - "traefik.http.routers.redirs.middlewares=redirect-to-https"

      - CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY=[REMOVED]
      - TZ=America/New_York
    networks:
      - default
    restart: unless-stopped

I added a few more services and routers to the rules.yml to see if any of them will load, they are showing inside of traefik dashboard but again the pages will not load at all, internal docker containers work correctly its just these external services that aren't functioning. I have them added the same way inside of my piholes DNS (lan.list) so they should be routing within my network.
