I've two containers setup from separate docker-compose.yml files.  
Traefik:

```auto
version: "3.3"

services:

  traefik:
    image: "traefik:v2.3"
    container_name: "traefik"
    command:
      - "--log.level=DEBUG"
      - "--api=true"
      - "--api.dashboard=true"
      - "--providers.docker=true"
      - "--providers.docker.exposedbydefault=false"
      - "--entrypoints.web.address=:80"
      - "--entrypoints.websecure.address=:443"
      - "--entrypoints.web.http.redirections.entrypoint.to=websecure"
      - "--entrypoints.web.http.redirections.entrypoint.scheme=https"
      - "--certificatesresolvers.myresolver.acme.httpchallenge.entrypoint=web"
      - "--certificatesresolvers.myresolver.acme.email=MY@EMAIL.COM"
      - "--certificatesresolvers.myresolver.acme.storage=/letsencrypt/acme.json"
      
    networks:
      - web
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "443:443"
      - "8080:8080"
    volumes:
      - "./letsencrypt:/letsencrypt"
      - "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro"
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.http.routers.dashboard.rule=Host(`monitor.MYDOMAIN.COM`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.dashboard.service=api@internal"
      - "traefik.http.routers.dashboard.entrypoints=websecure"
      - "traefik.http.routers.dashboard.tls.certresolver=myresolver"
      - "traefik.http.routers.dashboard.tls=true"
      - "traefik.http.routers.dashboard.middlewares=auth"      
      - "traefik.docker.network=web"
      - "traefik.http.middlewares.auth.basicauth.users=USER:PASS" 

networks:
  web:
    external: true

```

And strapi:

```auto
version: '3'
services:
  strapi:
    image: strapi/strapi
    environment:
      DATABASE_CLIENT: mongo
      DATABASE_NAME: strapi
      DATABASE_HOST: mongo
      DATABASE_PORT: 27017
      DATABASE_USERNAME: strapi
      DATABASE_PASSWORD: strapi
    links:
      - mongo:mongo
    volumes:
      - ./app:/srv/app
    ports:
      - "1337:1337"
    labels:
      - "traefik.docker.network=web"
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.basic.port=1337"
      - "traefik.basic.protocol=https"
      - "traefik.http.routers.strapi.rule=Host(`cms.MYDOMAIN.COM`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.strapi.entrypoints=websecure"
      - "traefik.http.routers.strapi.tls.certresolver=myresolver"
      - "traefik.tcp.routers.strapi.tls.passthrough=true"
    networks:
      - web
  mongo:
    image: mongo
    environment:
      MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: USER
      MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: PASS
    volumes:
      - ./data/db:/data/db
    ports:
      - '27017:27017'
    networks:
      - web
    labels:
      - "traefik.docker.network=web"
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.basic.port=27017"
      - "traefik.basic.protocol=http"
networks:
  web:
    external: true

```

Everything works fine (correct certificates, connection via https) until I try to set a secure cookie from strapi. Than I have following error:

```auto
strapi_1_8d6726e61bc7 | [2021-01-17T17:09:24.915Z] error Error: Cannot send secure cookie over unencrypted connection

```

Is there any solution for this?

Some software needs special configuration for deployment behind a reverse-proxy.

Check the documentation of the product.

You are absolutely right 🙂 I feel stupid now, but adding "proxy:true" to strapi configuration fixed the problem 🤦‍♂️
