Hi All,

I have installed Traefik docker in my Ubuntu Server using the following docker-compose file:

#traefik docker-compose file
version: '3.7'
services:
  traefik:
    hostname: traefik
    image: traefik:1.7
    container_name: traefik
    restart: always
    domainname: ${DOMAINNAME}
    networks:
      - default
      - traefik_proxy
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "443:443"
      - "8080:8080"
    environment:
      - DUCKDNS_TOKEN=${DUCKDNS_TOKEN}
      - TZ=Asia/Jerusalem
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.backend=traefik"
      - "traefik.frontend.rule=Host:traefik.${DOMAINNAME}"
      - "traefik.port=8080"
      - "traefik.docker.network=traefik_proxy"
      - "traefik.frontend.headers.SSLRedirect=true"
      - "traefik.frontend.headers.STSSeconds=315360000"
      - "traefik.frontend.headers.browserXSSFilter=true"
      - "traefik.frontend.headers.contentTypeNosniff=true"
      - "traefik.frontend.headers.forceSTSHeader=true"
      - "traefik.frontend.headers.SSLHost=${DOMAINNAME}"
      - "traefik.frontend.headers.STSIncludeSubdomains=true"
      - "traefik.frontend.headers.STSPreload=true"
      - "traefik.frontend.headers.frameDeny=true"
#      - "com.ouroboros.enable=true"
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
      - ../traefik:/etc/traefik
      - ./shared:/shared
      - ./traefik.toml:/traefik.toml
      - ./rules.toml:/etc/traefik/rules.toml
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "/traefik", "healthcheck"]
      interval: 30s
      timeout: 3s
      retries: 30
networks:
  traefik_proxy:
    external:
      name: traefik_proxy
  default:
    driver: bridge

I have already created a network traefik_proxy

sudo docker network create traefik_proxy

I have an .env file contained with ${DOMAINNAME} and ${DUCKDNS_TOKEN}

# .env file for my docker-compose
DUCKDNS_TOKEN=b7xxxxxb-fxx8-4xx7-8xx9-5xxxxxxxxxx6
DOMAINNAME=mydomain.duckdns.org

and I have ran the command sudo docker-compose config without any errors at all.

  • I do have a concern regarding the network.
    I also have created traefik.toml file with my settings.
# traefik.toml file
logLevel = "DEBUG"
defaultEntryPoints = ["https", "http"]

[api]
  entryPoint = "traefik"
  dashboard = true
  address = ":8080"

[ping]
[entryPoints]
  [entryPoints.http]
    address = ":80"

    [entryPoints.http.redirect]
      entryPoint = "https"
      #permanent = true

  [entryPoints.https]
    address = ":443"
    [entryPoints.https.tls]

  [entryPoints.traefik]
    address = ":8080"
    [entryPoints.traefik.auth]
      [entryPoints.traefik.auth.basic]
        usersFile = "/shared/.htpasswd"


[file]
  watch = true
  filename = "/etc/traefik/rules.toml"

# Let's encrypt configuration
[acme]
  email = "arye.myemail@gmail.com" #any email id will work
  storage="/acme.json"
  entryPoint = "https"
  acmeLogging = true
  #onDemand = false #create certificate when container is created
  [acme.dnsChallenge]
    provider = "duckdns"
    delayBeforeCheck = 300
    [[acme.domains]]
      main = "mydomain.duckdns.org"
    [[acme.domains]]
      main = "*.mydomain.duckdns.org"

# Connection to docker host system (docker.sock)
[docker]
  endpoint = "unix:///var/run/docker.sock"
  domain = "mydomian.duckdns.org"
  watch = true
  # This will hide all docker containers that don't have explicitly
  # set label to "enable"
  exposedbydefault = false

I have created the following files as well
rules.toml and acme.json
also created the folder shared under traefik main folder

**# ls of my traefik folder on Ubuntu**
---------------------------------------------------------------
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root  4096 Mar 30 09:56 .
drwxrwxr-x 30 arye arye  4096 Mar 30 09:33 ..
-rw-------  1 root root 22951 Mar 29 20:58 acme.json
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  1609 Mar 30 09:53 docker-compose.yaml
-rw-r--r--  1 root root    85 Mar 30 08:40 .env
-rw-r--r--  1 root root     0 Mar 29 16:49 rules.toml
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 Mar 29 20:28 shared
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  1503 Mar 30 09:12 traefik.toml

I have set sudo chmod 600 acme.json
As you can see above.

I have this file usersFile = "/shared/.htpasswd" created and ready filled with my credentials.
That I have been able to log in to traefik dashboard. So i am sure that this file is OK :slightly_smiling_face:

I am not sure what I am doing wrong since I am not getting anything in my acme.json file at all
I have manged to run the traefik container and access it from https://traefik.mydomian.duckdns.org
But it stops there!
any other docker I add I am getting timeout and I have made changes with the networking and I got bad gateway as well.

I have been working on this for couple of days and I don't know what I did wrong?
Please do assist me and understand what is wrong with my settings?

I have tried to run my tasmoadmin docker using the following compose settings:

# tasmoadmin settings for traefik reverse proxy server
version: '3.7'
services:
  tasmoadmin:
    container_name: tasmoadmin
    hostname: tasmoadmin
    image: raymondmm/tasmoadmin:latest
    volumes:
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "5555:80"
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.backend=tasmoadmin"
      - "traefik.frontend.rule=Host:tasmoadmin.${DOMAINNAME}"
      - "traefik.port=5555"
      - "traefik.frontend.entryPoints=http,https"
    networks:
      - traefik_proxy
networks:
  traefik_proxy:
    external: true

Please assist me to make it running I would be happy to make it running asap since I have so many dockers that I want to implement with traefik server.

Thank you all in advanced!
Arye.
