So I am running a service that uses port 8091 for general HTTP traffic and port 3000 for WS (ws://ip:3000). I have the HTTP traffic being reverse proxied to HTTPS on a domain [myservice.mydomain.com](http://myservice.mydomain.com). I am trying to figure out how to reverse proxy the WS service to the domain [myservice-ws.mydomain.com](http://myservice-ws.mydomain.com) but I can't seem to figure out how to make it work. Is this possible to do?

`http` and `ws` should behave the same. To proxy to an external URL, you need set up `router` and `service` with `loadbalancer.servers.url` in a dynamic config file, load it with `providers.file` in static config.

Check [simple Traefik external example](https://github.com/bluepuma77/traefik-best-practice/tree/main/traefik-external-forward).
