Unable to Route Quadlets Through Traefik

Traefik Traefik v3 (latest)
3

In many contexts, podman.sock can be used in place of docker.sock as podman should be able to have a translation layer for it (AFAIK). If Portainer and Uptime Kuma can, then Traefik should very likely have it.

When I start Portainer (for example), I can see the following in journalctl --user -xeu traefik.service:

So from what I can gather, Traefik does recognize and pull the configuration by the labels I’ve set in portainer-ce.container file.

I can’t even access Traefik’s dashboard, as highlighted in Unable to Login to the Dashboard - #2 by bluepuma77

I am assuming you’re talking about using wget https://portainer.mydomain.tld inside the container (or using the podman network IP address instead of the FQDN?) I’d appreciate it if you could elaborate further.
