Need help with securing Traefik dashboard

yolkhovyy · May 23, 2020, 10:38am

I need help on securing Traefik dashboard, the config file below, I am getting 404 not found on both foo.bar/dashboard and foo.bar.

        - traefik.http.routers.r-traefik.middlewares=mw-traefik-auth

And the 2d question - I wanted to run Traefik dashboard on a prefix foo.bar:/traefik - how would I let Traefik know that it runs on the prefix? I have tried to prepend the PathPrefixes with /traefik, then stripped the /traefik prefix, but how would I then inform Traefik dashboard that it runs behind a reverse proxy on the /traefik prefix?

Thanks a lot

Incorrect format, put the whole rule in () like:
- traefik.http.routers.r-traefik.rule=(Host(`foo.bar`) && (PathPrefix(`/dashboard`) || PathPrefix(`/api`)))

cakiwi · May 23, 2020, 11:32pm

Per the docs the rule has to match /api/ and /dashboard

Weird. I took your previous compose , removed the certresolver(only running locally) and updated the rule.
Ran like a charm.

Maybe switch up the logging to DEBUG to see what is going on.

/api/rawdata works for me too, but /dashboard returns 404 in the browser.

Here is what /api/rawdata returns:


"services": {
"api@internal": {
"status": "enabled",
"usedBy": [
"r-traefik@docker"
]
},
"dashboard@internal": {
"status": "enabled"
},
"dummy-service@docker": {
"loadBalancer": {
"servers": [
{
"url": "[http://10.0.0.26:1357](http://10.0.0.26:1357)"
}
],
"passHostHeader": true
},
"status": "enabled",
"usedBy": [
"r-redirect-to-https@docker"
],
"serverStatus": {
"[http://10.0.0.26:1357](http://10.0.0.26:1357)": "UP"
}
},
"noop@internal": {
"status": "enabled"
}
}

I do not understand how the r-traefik router can route /dashboard request to dashboard@internal - there is no "usedBy" field in the dashboard@internal.

Another thing that I do not understand - why the dummy-service is needed. I saw it in examples on internet, without it the /api/rawdata does not work, although the api@internal does have the "usedBy" field anyway.

Just discovered that if I change the order of the endpoints in the rule - /dashboard works.


- traefik.http.routers.r-traefik.rule=(Host(`foo.bar`) && (PathPrefix(`/api`) || PathPrefix(`/dashboard`)))

yolkhovyy · May 30, 2020, 12:19pm

It stopped working after I tried:

to use digest authentication - got in an endless login popup loop
had to switch back to basic authenticaion
secured traefik stopped working

At the end I found a reliable solution - trailing slashes in the router rules, this works so far:

- traefik.http.routers.r-traefik.rule=(Host(`foo.bar`) && (PathPrefix(`/api/`) || PathPrefix(`/dashboard/`)))

Used trailing slashes also in the corresponding DNS record, though not sure if it was needed.
