Hi @losif, if the 2 TCP "backend services" are served outside Docker, using the file provider would be the way to go. - Enabling File provider: You figured out correctly the flag of the Traefik CLI configuration: `--providers.file.filename=rules.yml` enables the provider "File" and set it up to get its configuration from the file located on `./rules.yml` - Providing the file `rules.yml` to the Traefik container: did you notice that I used a dot-slach (`./`) for the location of `rules.yml`? Because the value you've set for the flag `providers.file.filename` is a relative path INSIDE the Traefik container. You have to share this file between your machine and the traefik container, by mounting it on a specified path, as you did with v1.7 with the `traefik.toml`. My recommendation for you: - Mount the file with docker-compose by adding the item `- ./rules.yml:/rules.yml` in the directive `volumes: ` of the docker-compose "service" Traefik ([https://gist.github.com/IosifZ/f85ce274e02692bea100aa0f75e422e9#file-docker-compose-yml-L38](https://gist.github.com/IosifZ/f85ce274e02692bea100aa0f75e422e9#file-docker-compose-yml-L38)). - Set the CLI flag `--providers.file.filename` to the value `/rules.yml` --- _[View the full topic](https://community.traefik.io/t/traefik-1-7-to-2-0-docker-for-windows/2037)._
