Hey everyone, we're using traefik to rproxy resources on a cluster, and on one of the containers need to establish an FTP server, which works ok and can connect + upload files when running locally. The ftp server runs on nodejs [ftp-srv - npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ftp-srv) We were able to list container on traefik dashboard at TCP tab but it ends marked with an error where it states: Router Details STATUS Error PROVIDER Docker RULE HostSNI(`*`) NAME ftp@docker SERVICE ftp-service ERRORS: entryPoint "other" doesn't exist no valid entryPoint for this router The labels on the container Dockerfile for FTP are as follows: LABEL traefik.tcp.services.ftp.loadbalancer.server.port="21" LABEL traefik.tcp.services.ftp.loadbalancer.server.port="65500" LABEL traefik.tcp.routers.ftp.service="ftp-service" LABEL traefik.tcp.routers.ftp.entrypoints="other" LABEL traefik.tcp.routers.ftp.rule="HostSNI(`*`)" The FTP service is running and can see flow on console when running it on nodejs, this is the error comming from Filezilla FTP Client: 500 The given address is not yours (Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing). And this is the error occurring on nodejs console "SocketError: The given address is not yours. As additional info, I'm running this on a domain I've dnsmasqed with 127.0.0.1 [domain.com](http://domain.com), so the docker container can be reached on that domain. any clue would be really helpful, thanks. ![Screenshot from 2021-03-24 13-31-35](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/containo/original/2X/4/49daf2c52be7f403e3000df737e63e70a00ba07f.png) ---

Hi @gmesml Where is the definition of the endpoint other? Is it in a static configuration file that wasn't mounted correctly? ---

We're building the images using this Dockerfile: ```auto FROM node:14.16-alpine3.12 WORKDIR /usr/src/app LABEL traefik.enable="true" LABEL traefik.http.services.ftp.loadbalancer.server.port="3300" LABEL traefik.http.routers.ftp.rule="PathPrefix(`/`, `/rest`)" LABEL traefik.http.routers.ftp.priority="10" LABEL traefik.http.routers.ftp.entrypoints="web" LABEL traefik.http.routers.ftp.tls="false" LABEL traefik.tcp.services.ftp.loadbalancer.server.port="21" LABEL traefik.tcp.services.ftp.loadbalancer.server.port="65500" LABEL traefik.tcp.services.ftp.loadbalancer.server.port="65501" LABEL traefik.tcp.services.ftp.loadbalancer.server.port="65502" LABEL traefik.tcp.services.ftp.loadbalancer.server.port="65503" LABEL traefik.tcp.services.ftp.loadbalancer.server.port="65504" LABEL traefik.tcp.services.ftp.loadbalancer.server.port="65505" LABEL traefik.tcp.routers.ftp.service="ftp-service" LABEL traefik.tcp.routers.ftp.entrypoints="other" LABEL traefik.tcp.routers.ftp.rule="HostSNI(`*`)" ENV NODE_ENV=development EXPOSE 3300 EXPOSE 21/tcp EXPOSE 65500-65505 CMD ["npm", "run" , "start:dev"] ``` then run a container like this: ```auto docker run -it --network internal --name ftp -p 3300:3300 -p 21:21 -v "$(pwd)":/usr/src/app ftpimage ``` ---

I don't know where the definition of endpoint/entrypoint other is, though tried to replace it with ftp, am just assuming the endpoints are predefined. I'm new to traefik and trying to understand how it does rproxy services. ---

You'll have to define the entrypoint in traefik's static configuration. The only default one is http on port 80 (checked on v2.4). [https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/routing/entrypoints/](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/routing/entrypoints/) This won't work as you're expecting: ```auto LABEL traefik.tcp.services.ftp.loadbalancer.server.port="21" LABEL traefik.tcp.services.ftp.loadbalancer.server.port="65500" LABEL traefik.tcp.services.ftp.loadbalancer.server.port="65501" LABEL traefik.tcp.services.ftp.loadbalancer.server.port="65502" LABEL traefik.tcp.services.ftp.loadbalancer.server.port="65503" LABEL traefik.tcp.services.ftp.loadbalancer.server.port="65504" LABEL traefik.tcp.services.ftp.loadbalancer.server.port="65505" ``` You're just redefining the same label over and over. I'm pretty sure for this to even have a chance of working you will need an entrypoint,router and service for each passive port you are using as well as port 21 for each too. It will be a lot of labels. /aside Why FTP ? ---

I was following this github issue: > > > Hi there. I'm trying to setup up this container to be used through Traefik. This is what I did. > ftp-sgrio: > image:... On this Dockerfile I'm just adding trafeik labels for one of the containers which is this ftp, on the other hand on main traefik server I can see this definitions: ```auto [entryPoints] [entryPoints.web] address = ":80" [entryPoints.websecure] address = ":443" ``` Would adding ftp here with port 21 solve the matter? (Going to try) I thought having indefinite labels would make no probs when it comes to trafeik reading labels from other docker containers ? Am I wrong? When there's different systems being integrated there are some old software running on ftp and insecure protocols and trying to make some retrofit integration to modern software... ---

Thanks a lot for the last sentence, it was quite instructive. Digging the Traefik server configs I was able to open the route services on entrypoints, now I'm getting range error from FTP Server! `RangeError [ERR_SOCKET_BAD_PORT]: options.port should be >= 0 and < 65536.` Indeed there need to be pairs for port service and entrypoint. ---

As you can see in the referenced issue, an entrypoint is created for each port: ```auto - --entrypoints.entrypoint-ftp.address=:21 - --entrypoints.entrypoint-ftp-passive-0.address=:30000 - --entrypoints.entrypoint-ftp-passive-1.address=:30001 - --entrypoints.entrypoint-ftp-passive-2.address=:30002 - --entrypoints.entrypoint-ftp-passive-3.address=:30003 - --entrypoints.entrypoint-ftp-passive-4.address=:30004 - --entrypoints.entrypoint-ftp-passive-5.address=:30005 - --entrypoints.entrypoint-ftp-passive-6.address=:30006 - --entrypoints.entrypoint-ftp-passive-7.address=:30007 - --entrypoints.entrypoint-ftp-passive-8.address=:30008 - --entrypoints.entrypoint-ftp-passive-9.address=:30009 ... ``` And likewise in the router rules and services, note that each one has an incrementing value on the label. ```auto - traefik.tcp.routers.router-ftp.entrypoints=entrypoint-ftp - traefik.tcp.routers.router-ftp.rule=HostSNI(`*`) - traefik.tcp.routers.router-ftp.service=service-ftp - traefik.tcp.routers.router-ftp-passive-0.entrypoints=entrypoint-ftp-passive-0 - traefik.tcp.routers.router-ftp-passive-0.rule=HostSNI(`*`) - traefik.tcp.routers.router-ftp-passive-0.service=service-ftp-passive-0 - traefik.tcp.routers.router-ftp-passive-1.entrypoints=entrypoint-ftp-passive-1 - traefik.tcp.routers.router-ftp-passive-1.rule=HostSNI(`*`) - traefik.tcp.routers.router-ftp-passive-1.service=service-ftp-passive-1 ... ... ... - traefik.tcp.services.service-ftp.loadbalancer.server.port=21 - traefik.tcp.services.service-ftp-passive-0.loadbalancer.server.port=30000 - traefik.tcp.services.service-ftp-passive-1.loadbalancer.server.port=30001 - traefik.tcp.services.service-ftp-passive-2.loadbalancer.server.port=30002 ... ``` ---
