insecureSkipVerify How to apply this at a service level in docker compose

Traefik Traefik v2

I am trying to host NiFi securely, the issue that I am facing now is that I get an Internal Server Error which is caused by the Self Signed Certificate generated by NiFi toolkit. I understand that this verification of the certificate can be ignored by adding the insecureSkipVerify property.

Error Message:

'500 Internal Server Error' caused by: x509: cannot validate certificate for <IP_Address> because it doesn't contain any IP SANs

I would like to understand how can this be applied at a service level rather than at the global Traefik level, I would not want to apply changes at a global level when other services are running fine.

I tried to use the property in the docker compose file but it doesn't seem to be right

- "traefik.http.services.nifi-flow.loadbalancer.serverstransport.insecureskipverify=true"

One option seems to be to set it in the static config (not with labels). See docs.

Or you create a dynamic serverTransport and then assign it to a service. See docs.

3

Should the second option be specified within the docker compose file of the NiFi service ? Can you please share an example if possible.

I don't want to apply the insecureskipverify option at the global level to be true.

Dynamic config you can do in the labels of the service.

- "traefik.http.services.nifi-flow.loadbalancer.serverstransport.insecureskipverify=true"
- "traefik.http.services.nifi-flow.loadbalancer.serverstransports.insecureskipverify=true"

I tried both the above labels, but it doesn't seem to take effect. Its defined within the Service Labels, I also don't seem to find that option in the list of configurations for Docker

Look what I found in a Traefik issue:

There is currently no way to define a serversTransport using a docker label.

So you need to use a file provider with a dynamic configuration file.
