I have ports open and a new shiny docker-compose.yml with only one other container, still I get this error:

```auto
time="2020-02-24T21:21:05Z" level=error msg="Unable to obtain ACME certificate for domains \"whoami.palmhierta.se\": unable to generate a certificate for the domains [whoami.palmhierta.se]: acme: Error -> One or more domains had a problem:\n[whoami.palmhierta.se] acme: error: 400 :: urn:ietf:params:acme:error:connection :: Fetching http://whoami.palmhierta.se/.well-known/acme-challenge/jSzcww8-vPDf4IJ2CAde1k0V2a8RqiKG_jmP3X_aVqs: Timeout during connect (likely firewall problem), url: \n" providerName=le.acme routerName=whoami@docker rule="Host(`whoami.palmhierta.se`)"

Think I found the error/bug, when I reboot the machine traefik seems to be looking for a folder named /acme.json instead of my volume, which is:

```auto
    volumes:
      - "/traefik2/acme.json:/acme/acme.json"

```

I run win7 - virtualbox - boot2docker - docker-machine
