New User Basic Setup

Traefik Traefik v3 (latest)
1

Hi There,

Brand new homelab user, and trying to create what I "think" is a very basic setup to host gethomepage/homepage behind Traefik, both on docker. Here's my docker compose for Traefik from the quick start:

version: '3'

services:
  reverse-proxy:
    # The official v3 Traefik docker image
    image: traefik:v3.3
    # Enables the web UI and tells Traefik to listen to docker
    command: --api.insecure=true --providers.docker
    ports:
      # The HTTP port
      - "80:80"
      # The Web UI (enabled by --api.insecure=true)
      - "8080:8080"
    volumes:
      # So that Traefik can listen to the Docker events
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock

and here is homepage's compose:

services:
  homepage:
    image: ghcr.io/gethomepage/homepage:latest
    container_name: homepage
    ports:
      - 3000:3000

    env_file: stack.env
    volumes:
      - /data/homepage/config:/app/config # Make sure your local config directory exists
      # - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock # (optional) For docker integrations
    environment:
      HOMEPAGE_ALLOWED_HOSTS: home.mydomain.duckdns.org:3000 # required, may need port. See gethomepage.dev/installation/#homepage_allowed_hosts
    labels:
      - "traefik.http.routers.homepage.rule=Host(`home.mydomain.duckdns.org`)"

Now the only difference above is mydomain is replaced with my actual domain. DNS seems to be fine as if I put in home.mydomain.duckdns.org:3000 into my browser, the page loads. However home.mydomain.duckdns.org on its own fails with timeout.

The traefik UI dashboard loads fine, shows no errors, and says I have a working router and http service with no errors, and the host rule appears fine. Can anyone assist me?

Thanks,

Maybe check simple Traefik example.

Note that you usually would not use ports: on any other service than the reverse proxy. That would enable to circumvent potential security measures by Traefik.
