Setting docker defaultRule

Traefik Traefik v2
,
1

I'm trying to set the defaultRule for my docker containers, I'm doing this in my traefik.yml file.
This works for the containers and it will give them the proper route. However it breaks the file provider.
Traefik will start giving the error:

time="2023-02-26T01:26:27Z" level=error msg="Error while building configuration (for the first time): /etc/traefik/traefik.yml: template: :95: unexpected \"\\\\\" in operand" providerName=file

The very odd thing is that if I comment out the defaultRule line from my traefik.yml file the error doesn't go away. It only goes away if I completely remove the defaultRule: line out of the file.

I've redone my traefik.yml file by using the reference version, but that didn't change anything.

I've seen other help requests for this, but somehow their solutions don't work.

Maybe try using Host() || Host(), not combining in the same one. I think it's deprecated in v3 anyway. Docker provider defaultRule docs.

With your provider.file you are watching the whole directory, that includes traefic.yml. Try only watching dedicated dynamic config files, not the static config. Recently someone had an issue because of having wrong files in the folder.

It seems the problem was indeed having the file provider pointing to the same directory the traefik.yml configuration file was in. Moved the file with all my routes to the ./routes directory and adjusted the provider in the configuration file and now all is working fine, TY!
