Error: the router dashboard@docker uses a non-existent resolver: leresolver

Traefik Traefik v2 (latest)
1

Greetings

I've set up a first docker box with Traefik v2 and it's working. After setting up a second docker box, I wanted to install Traefik there too. So I've copied the docker-compose file, but LE doesn't work, I see that in the log:

the router dashboard@docker uses a non-existent resolver: leresolver

The resolver is configured exactly the same way it is on the first box:

    command:
      - --log.level=DEBUG
      - --providers.docker
      - --api=true
      - --api.dashboard=true
      - --entrypoints.web.address=:80
      - --entrypoints.websecure.address=:443
      - --providers.docker.exposedbydefault=false
      - --certificatesresolvers.leresolver.acme.email=email@gmail.com
      - --certificatesresolvers.leresolver.acme.storage=/data/letsencrypt/acme.json
      - --certificatesresolvers.leresolver.acme.tlschallenge=true

and the labels are the also the same (except of course the hostname):

    labels:
      - traefik.enable=true
      - "traefik.http.routers.dashboard.rule=(PathPrefix(`/api`) || PathPrefix(`/dashboard`)) && Host(`hostname.tld`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.dashboard.service=api@internal"
      - traefik.http.routers.dashboard.tls.certresolver=leresolver
      - traefik.http.routers.dashboard.entrypoints=websecure

What am I doing wrong??

Thanks in advance

Regards

Hello,

Could you provide more information (full traefik section of your docker-compose, and logs).

The root cause:

You have to create /data/letsencrypt

Wow congratulations I'm impressed I would never have guessed that... what isn't this simple empty folder not automatically created?

As a side note, do you know a log viewer which could have outlined this particular line?

Thanks a lot it's working now!

The directories are not created automatically.

To find the log, I just search level=error in your logs in a simple text editor, I don't have a particular log viewer.

I recommend to use the log level INFO (or the default level WARN) during your tests, the log level DEBUG is mainly for the dev purpose.

I improved the error message to be more clear: https://github.com/containous/traefik/pull/6225
