Enabling the Traefik Dashboard on a Port Other Than 8080 - Baremetal Configuration

Traefik Traefik v3 (latest)

Hello everyone,

I’m working on configuring Traefik on baremetal (not Docker or Kubernetes). I’ve tried several methods to enable the dashboard on port 48080, but I haven’t been successful yet. Here’s my latest attempt:

log:
  filePath: /var/log/traefik/traefik.log
  # level: DEBUG

global:
  checkNewVersion: true
  sendAnonymousUsage: false

api:
  dashboard: true
  insecure: true

entryPoints:
  dashboard:
    address: :48080


providers:
  file:
    filename: /etc/traefik/traefik_dynamic.yml
    watch: true

And the dynamic configuration file:

http:
  routers:
    dashboard:
      entrypoints:
        - dashboard
      service: api@internal

The default port 8080 is already in use by another tool, and I can't change it because other systems rely on it on the same network.

Does anyone have more detailed documentation on this topic? In my opinion, the official documentation doesn’t provide clear guidance on how to configure the dashboard on a different port.

Thanks in advance!

p.s.

$ ./traefik version
Version:      3.3.1
Codename:     saintnectaire
Go version:   go1.23.4

If you use api.insecure: true, then the Traefik dashboard will automatically listen on port 8080.

Remove the insecure, add to router a required rule: Host(`traefik.example.com`) for matching a request, then access /dashboard/.
