Traefik dashboard connection refused

Traefik Traefik v2

Hi All,

Really struggling to get access to the dashboard. I have deployed traefik within rancher in the system namespace.

It is running, but I cannot for the life of me figure out why the dashboard returns this error

traefik.toml

Can anyone see anything stupid? or any suggestions on how I troubleshoot? I am completely new to this and followed a guide on Technotim youtube "Self-Hosting Your Homelab Services with SSL". However he doesn't mention what to do if the dashboard doesn't show

Thanks

What is the error?

When using api insecure traefik will automatically create an entrypoint. Try removing the traefik entrypoint is my advice.

Hi, thank you for your response, i have tried both with and without the api insecure. I get a 404 error on both occasions.

here you can see the localhost refused

localhost

here I can see that the port is being exposed, but I cant access it

I think that / should work but could you also try as per the Quickstart guide http://localhost/api/rawdata

I am reading your file right that you have a port publish of 80 to 8080 ?

Hi

yes that's correct.

Have resolved the issue now. The problem was that I didnt have a dns record in the host file of the machine I was using to access the dashboard. I had put my dns record on the server.
