Hello, i run traefik (2.5.5) in a portainer stack (docker compose). If I start the container manually, everything is allright. Because I made bad experience with `restart:always` i use the `on-failure:5` policy. When traefik tries to start after a reboot, it throws 5 errors and does not get up. I dont know, why these errors appear. I only use the file-provider. Someone can tell me whats wrong here? Errors: ```auto time="2021-12-17T06:26:47Z" level=error msg="Error while starting server: accept tcp [::]:80: use of closed network connection" entryPointName=web time="2021-12-17T06:26:47Z" level=error msg="accept tcp [::]:80: use of closed network connection" entryPointName=web time="2021-12-17T06:26:47Z" level=error msg="Error while starting server: accept tcp [::]:443: use of closed network connection" entryPointName=websecure time="2021-12-17T06:26:47Z" level=error msg="accept tcp [::]:443: use of closed network connection" entryPointName=websecure time="2021-12-17T06:25:30Z" level=info msg="Configuration loaded from file: /config/traefik.yml" ``` Here are my config files (replaced my domain) traefik.yml (redirection commented for test use: ```auto api: dashboard: true entryPoints: web: address: ":80" # http: # redirections: # entryPoint: # to: websecure # scheme: https websecure: address: ":443" providers: file: directory: /config watch: true serversTransport: insecureSkipVerify: true ``` api.yml: ```auto http: routers: api: entryPoints: - "web" rule: Host(`traefik.tld`) service: api@internal ``` portainer.yml: ```auto http: routers: portainer: entryPoints: - "web" rule: Host(`portainer.tld`) service: portainer-web services: portainer-web: loadBalancer: servers: - url: "http://portainer:9000/" ``` ---
