I'm trying to get a minimal setup to work with Docker Compose.  
The problem is, attempting to access the dashboard returns a "404 page not found" and acme.json remains empty.

**traefik.yml**

```yml
providers:
  docker:
    network: public
    watch: true
    exposedByDefault: false
entryPoints:
  web:
    address: ":80"
  websecure:
    address: ":443"
    http:
      tls:
        certResolver: le
certificatesResolvers:
  le:
    acme:
      email: admin@ *******.ca
      storage: /certificates/acme.json
      tlsChallenge: {}
api: {}
logs:
  level: DEBUG

```

**compose.yml**

```yml

  traefik:

Turns out the issue was with my compose.yml: the "deploy" key is redundant when working with Docker Compose!

You need the labels beneath `deploy` in your compose file when deploying to Docker Swarm with `docker stack deploy`.
