Traefik

Traefik is an open-source reverse proxy and load balancer.

Docker Image is from traefik, found here.

Setup

1. Generate a password with generate_password.sh

Note

This step is entirely optional. To skip this step, edit docker-compose.yml and remove the line at the bottom that specifies the password

2. Update traefik.yml with your correct contact information (Email)

3. Create an .env file with:

DOMAIN=traefik.domain
TLD=com
TRAEFIK_USER=admin
TRAEFIK_PASSWORD_HASH=<password from generate_password.sh>

4. Add DNS Provider specific configuration to .env and docker-compose.yml. In my case, I'm using CloudFlare, and so my file will have the following:

CLOUDFLARE_DNS_API_TOKEN=<some token>

  environment:
    - CLOUDFLARE_DNS_API_TOKEN=${CLOUDFLARE_DNS_API_TOKEN}

Other DNS Providers will have differing configuration. You can find providers here and additional configuration here.

5. Configure the following directories, as this guide assumes that Focus is cloned to $HOME/dev/focus, as that is my own personal preference. This behaviour can be configured with the following in docker-compose.yml.

  - ${HOME}/dev/focus/traefik/traefik.yml:/traefik.yml:ro
  - ${HOME}/dev/focus/traefik/rules:/rules:ro
  - ${HOME}/dev/focus/traefik/letsencrypt:/letsencrypt

6. Run it!

docker-compose up -d

Note

This assumes that focus is checked out at $HOME/dev/focus!

Updates

This container will have its image automatically updated via watchtower.
