file vs inline config

[opichon]

The docs mention a [docker] config section in the traefik.yoml configuration file, but the example for running traefik via docker mention similar options on the command line:

--web --docker --docker.domain=...

Are these 2 ways to set the configuration equivalent?

Yes. Why are you opening an issue on this? I strongly suggest to join the Traefik Slack channel for this kind of question ;)

I've tried launching a traefik container via docker-compose without including the command --web --docker ... argument, having these same arguments setup in the traefik.toml config file (which was mounted as a volume). Traefik fails to launch.

To be precise: The container is running, but the logs are empty, and the web ui page loads intermittently.

@opichon
Please make an effort when you report an issue on an open source software.

Traefik fails to launch.

Is really not sufficient for us to investigate on this.
We need you config file, your version, your DEBUG logs, etc...

logs are empty

Have you at least tried to launch Traefik in DEBUG?

[opichon]

logs are empty: that's because the log is empty (after launch). Nothing. Nada. And traefik is running in DEBUG mode.

As I explained: the container is running, but the web ui page loads intermittently.

[opichon]

Apologies: trawfik was indeed not running in DEBUG mode. However, having set logLevel = "DEBUG" in traefik.toml, the log is definitely not empty.

Treafik is working, in the sense that trying to open one of the urls being proxied does open that url.

However, the web ui is not working: every other time I refresh the page, I get an error message "server unreachable". When the web ui page does display, the providers section is empty.

It looks like the command argument is required, and that the minimum setting is command: --logLevel=DEBUG.

Everything works fine if the web docker and docker.watch=true arguments are omitted. But as per issue #891, if they are present they cause problems with the web ui auth.
