Hello.

I’ve been having a very difficult time trying to get Traefik to play nicely with an instance of Gitea that is on port 3000.

Enclosed is my configuration, where I have two routers, `gitea_site` (HTTP) and `gitea_site_secured` (HTTPS). HTTP is automatically redirected to HTTPS i.e. `gitea_site` redirects to `gitea_site_secured` with some middleware.

I am unable to make the link between `gitea_site_secured` router and somehow forwarding that onto port 3000 of the Gitea instance. I get a gateway timeout error within Traefik when navigating to [git.example.com](http://git.example.com)

After reading the documentation, it appears I have to define a service and load balancer.

I have done this in line 40 + 41 but it did not work (tried many combinations).

Any help or pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.

Thank you.
