I have setup Traefik on Ubuntu (no docker).  
The problem is that the dashboard is not showing any of the components of my dynamic configuration, but if I mess it up, Traefik reports that the dynamic configuration is not valid... so it seems that he's checking if the config is valid, but it's not loading it

`/etc/traefik/traefik.yaml`

```traefik
providers:
  file:
    directory: /etc/traefik/dynamic
    watch: true

api:
  dashboard: true
  insecure: true
  debug: true

log:
  level: DEBUG

```

`entrypoints` belongs in static, `routers`, `middlewares` and `services` in dynamic config.

I moved my `entryPoints` to the static file, but still I don't see any of my routers, middlewares or services in the dashboard (but I see the routers, middlewared and services of the dashboard/api)

```traefik

    headers:
      stsSeconds: 15552000
      stsIncludeSubdomains: true
      forceSTSHeader: true
      stsPreload: true
      frameDeny: true
      browserXssFilter: true

routers:
  routerSeafile:
    entryPoints: cloudflare_2083
    service: seafile
    rule: "Host(`sf.myself.it`)"
    middlewares:
      - "HSTS"
    tls: {}
  routerSeafHttp:
    entryPoints: cloudflare_2083
    service: seafhttp

@bluepuma77 I've found the issue. I was not nesting the routers, services and middlewares under `http:`
