Traefik v2.9 isn't creating logfiles

Traefik Traefik v2 (latest)

Hi there :wave:,

this is my first topic so I hope I'm doing everything correct :slight_smile:.
I've set up Traefik v2.9 on our server recently, upgrading von v1 that another person once installed.
I'm running into a few problems but the biggest before I can turn to any of them is that Traefik refuses to create logfiles.
I post my configs here:

docker-compose.yml

version: "3.3"

services:
  traefik:
    container_name: traefik
    image: "traefik:v2.9"

      - "443:443"

      - "./acme.json:/acme.json"
      - "./traefik.yml:/traefik.yml:ro"
      - "./configfiles:/configfiles:ro"
    networks:
      - "proxy"
    labels:
      # HTTP router
      - "traefik.http.routers.traefik.entrypoints=http"
      - "traefik.http.routers.traefik.rule=HostRegexp(`{host:.+}`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.traefik.middlewares=https-redirect"
      - "traefik.http.middlewares.https-redirect.redirectscheme.scheme=https"
      # HTTPS router

      - "traefik.http.routers.traefik-secure.rule=Host(`traefik.smns-bw.org`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.traefik-secure.tls=true"
      - "traefik.http.routers.traefik-secure.tls.certresolver=leresolver"

This problem exists from the very beginning, even before config.yml was created. The static config file is very barely filled, this is due to the fast that as soon as I start adding content Traefik crashes. For example "exposedByDefault: false" makes the container crash.
As soon as logging is working I will open another topic to tackle my middlewares hassles :smiley:
But one after another. I hope someone has an idea!

That’s where your log file should be - within the Traefik container. As the path is not mounted from the host.

I can't believe it!
I have tried so many possible ways.

I just added to docker-compose.yml:

      - "./traefik.log:/traefik.log"

And edited traefik.yml:

  filePath: /traefik.log

Thanks to you pointing me to this mistake I finally understood the logic behind those paths and I feel both stupid and enlighted :smiley:

Thank you very, very much!

Now I can stare at a logfile full of error-messages and start working on my middlewares before my co-workers kill me due to all our webpages being offline! :muscle: :wink:

Cheers,
Velaya
