Epic fail on the simplest of configs (router)

Traefik Traefik v2
1

I am brand new to traefik (ie. ~1 day).
I have a

  • debian 11 LXC (192.168.1.1)
  • running the binary (non-docker)
    • version 2.10.7/saintmarcelin of traefik (I don't particularly want to use docker unless I absolutely have to).
  • The installation is based on this post

I have a (what I think should be) very simple requirement

  1. routing SNI requests.
    • I have a few containers/VMs that run httpd (eg. 192.168.1.198 nginx 1.18)
    • for this test, they are all :80, generally nginx
      • (sample config at end)
  2. If that succeeds I will move to the next stage, which would be to create/renew LE certs and redirects to https, where traefik manages all certificates
  3. I currently CAN just use nginx-ssl with wildcard LE dns-01certs to do this, but I would like to centralise and simplify certs.

My static traefik.yml

global:
  sendAnonymousUsage: false
  checkNewVersion: false

log:
  filePath: "/etc/traefik/applog.log"
  format: json
  level: "debug"

# Enable traefik ui
api:
  dashboard: true
  insecure: true

entryPoints:
  http:
    address: ":80"

providers:
  file:
    directory: "/etc/traefik/dynamic/"
    watch: true

My /etc/traefik/dynamic/test.yml

## Dynamic configuration
http:
  routers:
    router-domain1:
      rule: "Host(`domain1.co.za`)"
      service: service-domain1
      entryPoints:
        - http

  services:
    service-domain1:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
          url: "http://192.168.1.198:80"

if /etc/hosts
192.168.1.1 domain1.co.za
goes via traefik machine, any hit to the http://domain1.co.za:80 gives
{"level":"debug","msg":"'500 Internal Server Error' caused by: unsupported protocol scheme \"\"","time":"2023-12-09T19:46:48+02:00"}

if I change /etc/hosts I get the correct page display
192.168.1.198 domain1.co.za
with access.log showing
192.168.1.13 - - [09/Dec/2023:20:11:40 +0200] "GET /index.html HTTP/1.1" 200 893 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Falkon/22.12.1 QtWebEngine/5.15.13 Chrome/87.0.4280.144 Safari/537.36"

nginx config is like so

server {
  listen      80;
  server_name prinz.co.za;
  root        /var/www/html/domain1.co.za;
  index       index.html index.htm index.php;

  access_log /var/log/nginx/domain1.co.za-access.log;
  error_log  /var/log/nginx/domain1.co.za-error.log error;

  location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    # try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
  }
}

The nginx access.log shows
192.168.1.13 - - [09/Dec/2023:20:08:23 +0200] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 188 "http://domain1.co.za/index.html" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Falkon/22.12.1 QtWebEngine/5.15.13 Chrome/87.0.4280.144 Safari/537.36"
The error is the same via FF,LibreWolf,Curl,Falkon,Chromium

Any hints/pointers welcome. Feel free to be blunt - I never take offense

Traefik static and dynamic config seem to look ok, what Traefik version are you using?

3

Latest binary version 2.10.7/saintmarcelin of traefik (I don't particularly want to use docker unless I absolutely have to).

4

Are you sure there is no other (wrong) config file in your folder /etc/traefik/dynamic?

5

Sorry - previous filelist was ugly

root@roxy:/etc/traefik# ls *
access.log  acme.json  applog.log  traefik.yml

certs:
A BUNCH of *.crt (mod:640) & *.key(mod:600) files with (ownership = traefik:traefik)

dynamic:
test.yml

Just for clarity (I re-read my title)... I mean epic fail as in ...on MY part (to understand what should be very simple)
