Simple example with configuration files (static and dynamic)

Traefik Traefik v3 (latest)
,
1

Hello everyone,
I want to have my static and dynamic configurations in separate files (I was able to make it work using docker-compose.yml only with commands (static) and labels (dynamic))
I'm starting form scratch with a basic example: traefik dashboard over https with letsencrypt certificates, but I'm not able to get it done.

Here are my files:

Docker-compose.yml

# @prettier
version: "3.3"
networks:
  proxy:
    name: proxy
    external: true
volumes:
  letsencrypt:
    name: letsencrypt
services:
  traefik:
    image: traefik:v3.2
    networks:
      - proxy
    command:
      - --configfile=/etc/traefik/traefik.yml
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      - ./letsencrypt:/letsencrypt
      - ./config:/etc/traefik/config
      - ./logs:/var/log
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "443:443"
      - "8080:8080"
    restart: unless-stopped

traefik.yml (static)

      tls:

  middlewares:
    authtraefik:
      basicauth:
        users : **mycredentialshashed**

Folder hierarchy:
./traefik.yml
./config/dynamic.yml

My logs are empty (ie ./logs is empty) and docker logs container-id gives nothing.

Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong ?

Thank you

Did you place the traefik.yml file inside the container?

Indeed, I have mounted the file and it works now. Thank you so much
