Request path not being forwarded to service

Helloo. I'm trying to get Traefik to work with Strapi CMS system, but for some reason everytime I request a route eg. cms.example.com/ or cms.example.com/admin I get the same response. I can inspect the incomming request to Strapi via dcoker-compose output and it keeps outputting the request is for / and does not include the path requested.

I suspect Traefik is not sending this path through to the service. Can someone please confirm this or direct me as to how I can confirm that Traefik is indeed sending through the request path correctly

Here is how I configured my services:

  1. Created a docker network called web (to attach Traefik and services to attach to Traefik)
  2. Deploy a traefik instance with docker run -d -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v $PWD/traefik.toml:/traefik.toml -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -p 8080:8080 --network web --name traefik traefik:2.0.2
  3. Deploy Strapi via docker-compose
