Need help configuring Traefik v2.x on Windows WSL

Traefik Traefik v2
1

I'm trying to setup traefik 2.x to run on Docker for Windows. I have a docker-compose.yml file inside WSL. So far, I've managed to connect the Docker cli from WSL to talk to the Docker service running on the Windows host but I'm stuck with this error message when I try to bring the container up:

traefik          | time="2020-04-25T07:05:13Z" level=error msg="Failed to retrieve information of the docker client and server host: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at tcp://localhost:2375. Is the docker daemon running?" providerName=docker

Here's my docker-compose.yml file:

version: "3.3"

services:
  traefik-proxy:
    image: traefik:2.2
    container_name: traefik
    command:
      - "--api=true"
      - "--api.dashboard=true"
      - "--providers.docker=true"
      - "--providers.docker.endpoint=tcp://localhost:2375"
      - "--providers.file=true"
      - "--configFile=/etc/traefik/traefik.yml"
    restart: always
    networks:
      - proxy
    ports:
      - "80:80"     #The HTTP port
      - "443:443"   #The HTTPS port
    volumes:
      - ./traefik/traefik.yml:/etc/traefik/traefik.yml
      - ./traefik/dynamic:/etc/traefik/dynamic
      - ./logs:/var/log/traefik
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.http.routers.traefik.entrypoints=http"
      - "traefik.http.routers.traefik.rule=Host(`localhost`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.traefik.service=api@internal"

networks:
  proxy:

and my traefik.yml configuration file:

log:
  level: WARN

api:
  dashboard: true

entryPoints:
  http:
    address: ":80"
  https:
    address: ":443"

providers:
  file:
    directory: /etc/traefik/dynamic
    watch: true
  docker:
    endpoint: "tcp://localhost:2375"
    exposedByDefault: false

That is the issue, remove it from commands and setup:

docker-compose.yml

volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock

traefik.yml

[providers]

[providers.docker]
endpoint = "unix:///var/run/docker.sock"

for dashboard access you may need to add port in docker-compose.yml

traefik:
ports:
- "8080:8080" # The Web UI (enabled by --api)

or even setup traefik to respond via url

traefik:
labels:
- traefik.enable=true
- traefik.http.routers.traefik_https.rule=Host(traefik.localhost)
- traefik.http.routers.traefik_https.entrypoints=https
- traefik.http.routers.traefik_https.tls=true
- traefik.http.routers.traefik_https.service=api@internal
