The PHP service and the Traefik dashboard are reachable. The proxy provides the valid certificate to the following address:

https://www.traefik.domain-name.ga

but not to the following:

https://www.domain-name.ga

Everything works, PHP pages are also displayed in the browser, the only problem is the missing authentic certificate.

Where am I wrong?

P.S.: I use traefik:v2.8.0.

Hey @Milano2022 it seems you just missed binding the certificate resolver to your router:

- "traefik.http.routers.php.tls.certresolver=leresolver"

Thanks for the quick reply! I did a lot of tests but I assumed that that line was not necessary. Excellent!

I added the line of code and everything works perfectly but the dashboard only works halfway.
The following links lead to the page 'https://www.traefik.###.ga/dashboard/#/'

'https://www.traefik.###.ga/'
'http://www.traefik.###.ga/'

These links do not lead to the page 'https://www.traefik.###.ga/dashboard/#/' and the browser does not recognize a valid certificate.

'https://traefik.###.ga/'
'http://traefik.###.ga/'

If I decide to continue I arrive at the page 'https://www.traefik.###.ga/dashboard/#/' with the valid certificate but the first warning I read in the browser is related to an invalid certificate. I reset the browser and tried an incognito window, the problem remains.

I tried this solution:

Host(`www.traefik.domain-name.ga`,`traefik.domain-name.ga`)

but the problem remains.
I think it's a Traefik bug, where can I report it?

Is the problem I am seeing a bug or an inaccuracy in the configuration?
I arrive at 99.99..999% never 100% ... :frowning:

What is the certificate error?

If you used the same configuration with the letsencrypt staging server first then it could be from that.

You can try stopping the container and then remove the acme.json and then start it up again.

Hi @kiwi, it's a pleasure to hear from you.

The error I get is this:

No domain found in rule PathPrefix(`/`), the TLS options applied for this router will depend on the SNI of each request

I also show you the whole log file:

I also thought it was a similar problem to what you wrote but I have discovered that it is not so.

I deleted the instance in the cloud, I reset the browser, I took another domain name, I changed the static IP and I uploaded the whole Docker Compose project. I opened all the links with incognito browsing. I get this:

  1. When I access the proxy URLs without adding WWW I get an unauthentic certificate;
    'https://traefik.###.ga/'
    'http://traefik.###.ga/'
  2. The browser tells me that the certificate is not secure but I decide to continue.
  3. I arrive at the correct link with HTTPS, with WWW and with the authentic certificate.
  4. If I try again to write the 2 links without WWW for the second time, I no longer get points 1, 2 and 3 but immediately 4.

In practice, the problem occurs only once. For this I write 99.99999 ...%. This happens on any computer. There is still some imperfection but I can't figure out where.

Also in the log file there are also other warnings of other errors that worry me but do not cause problems on my server. It seems to me that everything is working fine.
