V2 https example

tcurdt · October 30, 2019, 2:12am

I am a little lost trying to get the following working:

a single http service on port 5151 exposed as https on 443
a self signed cert when trying locally, letsencrypt for production
protected path /foo by a client cert (if possible)

I started with the following:

version: '3.7'
services:
  web:
    image: traefik:2.0.4
    restart: unless-stopped
    command:
      - "--api.insecure=true"
      - "--global.sendAnonymousUsage=false"
      - "--providers.docker=true"
      - "--providers.docker.exposedbydefault=true"
      - "--entryPoints.https.address=:443"
      # - "--certificatesResolvers.letsencrypt.acme.httpChallenge=true"
      # - "--certificatesResolvers.letsencrypt.acme.httpChallenge.entryPoint=https"
      # - "--certificatesresolvers.letsencrypt.acme.email=XXXXXXXXX"
      # - "--certificatesresolvers.letsencrypt.acme.storage=/opt/traefik/acme.json"
    ports:
      - 443:443
      - 127.0.0.1:8080:8080
    networks:
      - local
    depends_on:
      - backend
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
      - ./certs:/certs:ro
  backend:
    image: containous/whoami # just for testing
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 5151:80 # real backend will have 5151:5151
    labels:
      - "traefik.port=5151"
      - "traefik.http.routers.backend-https.rule=Host(`machine.test`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.backend-https.entrypoints=https"
      # - "traefik.http.routers.backend-https.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt"
networks:
  local:

Where I am struggling:

howto add a self signed cert
verify letsencrypt is working like this
howto require a client cert for /foo

Can anyone point me at least into the right direction?
Thanks!

Hello,

I recommend to read https://blog.containo.us/traefik-2-0-docker-101-fc2893944b9d

tcurdt · October 30, 2019, 10:23am

Super helpful article - thanks!
Unfortunately it does not cover my open questions.
I am still not sure how to specify the following via labels:

[[tls.certificates]]
  certFile = "/path/to/domain.cert"
  keyFile = "/path/to/domain.key"

[tls.options]
  [tls.options.default]
    [tls.options.default.clientAuth]
      caFiles = ["tests/clientca1.crt", "tests/clientca2.crt"]
      clientAuthType = "RequireAndVerifyClientCert"

and how to make the client cert only apply for a certain path.

ldez · October 30, 2019, 10:32am

Restriction

In the above example, we've used the file provider to handle these definitions. It is the only available method to configure the certificates (as well as the options and the stores).

tcurdt · October 30, 2019, 10:48am

I read this as "it's not possible to pass as parameters/labels - it must be defined in a file". IIUC I can only use --providers.file.filename to specify that instead?

But that will not help me to apply the client cert only to path /foo.

tcurdt · November 1, 2019, 10:18am

Is this correct? The paths to the certs must be specified in a file?

For letsencrypt support I came up with

version: '3.7'
services:
  web:
    image: traefik:2.0.4
    restart: unless-stopped
    command:
      - "--providers.docker=true"
      - "--providers.docker.exposedbydefault=true"
      - "--entryPoints.https.address=:443"
      - "--certificatesresolvers.letsencrypt.acme.caserver=https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory"
      - "--certificatesresolvers.letsencrypt.acme.email=me@foo.com"
      - "--certificatesresolvers.letsencrypt.acme.storage=/vol/acme.json"
      - "--certificatesResolvers.letsencrypt.acme.tlsChallenge=true"
    ports:
      - 443:443
    networks:
      - local
    depends_on:
      - backend
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
      - ./vol/traefik:/vol

  backend:
    image: containous/whoami
    command:
      - "--port=5678"
    restart: unless-stopped
    labels:
      - "traefik.http.routers.backend-https.rule=Host(`foo.com`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.backend-https.entrypoints=https"
      - "traefik.http.services.backend-https.loadbalancer.server.port=5678"
      - "traefik.http.routers.backend-https.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt"

networks:
  local:

but not I am not sure what's wrong with that config. It's giving me a 404.
Any advice? Thanks!

PS: Why is web-traefik being created?

ldez · November 2, 2019, 11:04pm

It's related to Docker | Traefik | v2.0

A simple TLS example:

version: '3.7'
services:
  web:
    image: traefik:v2.0.4
    command:
      - --entrypoints.web.address=:80
      - --entrypoints.websecure.address=:443
      - --api=true
      - --log.level=INFO
      - --providers.docker=true
      - --providers.docker.exposedbydefault=false
    ports:
      - 80:80
      - 443:443
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=true"

      # Dashboard
      - "traefik.http.routers.traefik.rule=Host(`traefik.docker.localhost`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.traefik.service=api@internal"
      - "traefik.http.routers.traefik.entrypoints=websecure"
      - "traefik.http.routers.traefik.tls=true"

      - "traefik.http.routers.catchall.rule=HostRegexp(`{host:.+}`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.catchall.entrypoints=web"
      - "traefik.http.routers.catchall.middlewares=redirecthttps"
      
      # redirect HTTPS
      - "traefik.http.middlewares.redirecthttps.redirectscheme.scheme=https"

  backend:
    image: containous/whoami
    command:
      - "--port=5678"
    labels:

      - "traefik.http.routers.backend.tls=true"
      - "traefik.http.services.backend.loadbalancer.server.port=5678"

tcurdt · November 2, 2019, 11:48pm

Thanks for the example, @ldez - but that's giving me the very same 404.

I've adopted it to strip out the dashboard and port 80 and to make it even simpler - but are still getting a 404.

version: '3.7'
services:
  web:
    image: traefik:2.0.4
    restart: unless-stopped
    command:
      - "--entryPoints.https.address=:443"
      - "--providers.docker=true"
      - "--providers.docker.exposedbydefault=false"
      - "--log.level=DEBUG"
    ports:
      - 443:443
    depends_on:
      - backend
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro

  backend:
    image: containous/whoami
    command:
      - "--port=5678"
    restart: unless-stopped
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.http.routers.backend.rule=HostRegexp(`{host:.+}`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.backend.entrypoints=https"
      - "traefik.http.routers.backend.tls=true"
      - "traefik.http.services.backend.loadbalancer.server.port=5678"

Something is really off here.

Given that it is https and the only reachable when the containers are up it really must be traefik returning the 404 (on my machine).

$ curl -k -H Host:localhost https://127.0.0.1
404 page not found

Plus I see this request in the logs with level DEBUG:

web_1      | time="2019-11-03T01:04:06Z" level=debug msg="Serving default certificate for request: \"\""

Any further ideas on how debug this, @ldez?

ldez · November 3, 2019, 1:10am

The log is not a problem (I got the same).

Could you try this:

version: '3.7'
services:
  web:
    image: traefik:2.0.4
    command:
      - "--entryPoints.https.address=:443"
      - "--api.insecure=true"
      - "--providers.docker=true"
      - "--providers.docker.exposedbydefault=false"
      - "--log.level=DEBUG"
    ports:
      - 443:443
      - 8080:8080
    depends_on:
      - backend
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro

  backend:
    image: containous/whoami
    command:
      - "--port=5678"
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.http.routers.backend.rule=HostRegexp(`{host:.+}`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.backend.entrypoints=https"
      - "traefik.http.routers.backend.tls=true"
      - "traefik.http.services.backend.loadbalancer.server.port=5678"

and call the API:

$ curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/rawdata | jq

{
  "routers": {
    "backend@docker": {
      "entryPoints": [
        "https"

      }
    }
  }
}

Just to be sure I updated docker to the same version:

Docker version 19.03.4, build 9013bf5

Then started your latest docker compose file

$ curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/rawdata | jq
{
  "routers": {
    "backend@docker": {
      "entryPoints": [
        "https"
      ],
      "service": "backend",
      "rule": "HostRegexp(`{host:.+}`)",
      "tls": {},
      "status": "enabled",
      "using": [
        "https"
      ]
    }
  },
  "services": {
    "backend@docker": {
      "loadBalancer": {
        "servers": [
          {
            "url": "http://172.23.0.2:5678"
          }
        ],
        "passHostHeader": true
      },
      "status": "enabled",
      "usedBy": [
        "backend@docker"
      ],
      "serverStatus": {
        "http://172.23.0.2:5678": "UP"
      }
    }
  }
}

And then did the test - and it is working for me as well.

I then verified the previous docker compose file to be working, too.

While that's good I hate not knowing the why:

Maybe a faulty network connection between traefik and the backend container resulted in the 404? But that should have given a different error message, no?
Maybe just a docker restart would have fixed it, too?
Maybe the docker update fixed it?

How frustrating to not know.

Interesting - I am back to the 404. Investigating further.

I recommend to do:

$ docker-compose down
$ docker-compose up --remove-orphans

$ docker ps

OK - so I think I was just too tired last night and forget to set the Host header. So I think the initial 404 was docker glitch and we cannot find the actual cause at this stage anymore.

That said - it would be super cool if traefik could (at least in DEBUG) tell when there is no match for the given host. And not just return a 404 without leaving any clue. That would be my request for improvement.
