+# Traefik
+
+I got recommended Traefik over Nginx for its ease of use and service discovery.
+
+For setup I followed this official Traefik tutorial: https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/getting-started/quick-start/
+
+`https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/user-guides/docker-compose/basic-example/` is also a good reference.
+
+### Baby Steps Setup
+
+##### Step 1
+
+1. Run `step1-docker-compose.yml`
+
+`docker-compose -f step1-docker-compose.yml up -d`
+
+2. Test by curl
+
+`curl http://localhost:8080/api/rawdata`
+
+3. Stop all and prune
+
+`docker stop step1-traefik`
+
+`docker system prune`
+
+##### Step 2
+
+1. Run `step2-docker-compose.yml`
+
+`docker-compose -f step2-docker-compose.yml up -d`
+
+2. Test by curl
+
+`curl -H Host:whoami.docker.localhost http://127.0.0.1`
+
+3. Stop all and prune
+
+`docker stop step2-traefik step2-whoami`
+
+`docker system prune`
+
+##### Step 3
+
+1. Run `step3-docker-compose.yml`
+
+`docker-compose -f step3-docker-compose.yml up -d`
+
+2. Test by curl
+
+`curl http://whoami.whitney.rip`
+
+3. Stop all and prune
+
+`docker stop step3-traefik step3-whoami`
+
+`docker system prune`
+
+### Actual Traefik Setup
+
+##### Step 1: Basic Traefik
+
+Starting with the basic example: `https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/user-guides/docker-compose/basic-example/`
+
+1. Change basic things like names of containers, routing host for the example service.
+
+2. Add a traefik-specific network for the containers to communicate over. Other containers outside of this config file can reference it so that Traefik can discover and send requests to them internally.
+
+3. Run, and test that the whoami container gives its response back correctly.
+
+4. Then, configure other containers to be discovered off of Traefik by adding the basic labels: `traefik.enable`, `traefik.http.routers.container_name.rule`, and `traefik.http.routers.container_name.entrypoints`. 
+
+
+##### Step 2: Proper Traefik Config
+
+1. Convert the traefik related command line flags into traefik static and dynamic config. I am using toml files. These are `step5-traefik.toml` and `step5-traefik-dynamic.toml`. The static should reference a folder that the dynamic is copied into in the docker-compose.
+
+Note: These pages are good examples of syntax and options. `https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/reference/static-configuration/file/` and `https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/reference/dynamic-configuration/file/`
+
+Note: The Dynamic config is empty, and this is for good reason. See `https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/routing/providers/docker/` 
+
+`If a label defines a router (e.g. through a router Rule) and a label defines a service (e.g. implicitly through a loadbalancer server port value), but the router does not specify any service, then that service is automatically assigned to the router.`
+
+Because we define the router as labels in docker-compose, we don't have to define them in the dynamic conf, which is where we'd normally have to do it.
+
+From this point, when we add another service, all that has to be done is the following:
+
+> 1. Add the `traefik_traefik-network` as an external network, so that the container can communicate with Traefik internally.
+
+> 2. Add the external network to the container's definition.
+
+> 3. Add labels defining a router for this container. This should at least include the `traefik.enable`, `traefik.http.routers.my_router_name.rule`, and `traefik.http.routers.my_router_name.entrypoints` labels.
+
+
+### Some old notes from when I tried TLS stuff.
+
+Followed this tutorial: `https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/user-guides/docker-compose/acme-dns/`.
+
+Providers list for Traefik: `https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/https/acme/#providers`.
+
+1. Update `docker-compose-BLANKED.yml` with the correct values and copy it to `docker-compose.yml`.
+
+`EMAIL@ME.COM`
+
+`CLOUDFLARE@EMAIL.COM`
+
+`API_KEY`
+
+`MYDOMAIN.COM`
+
+2. Run `docker-compose.yml`
+
+`docker-compose up -d`
+
+3. Test by curl, then on browser.
+
+`curl -vvv https://whitney.rip`
+
+If certificate is not right, can probably debug from the curl response.
+
+Try `https://whitney.rip` in browser, should see the curl response in html.
+
+BEFORE running the container, create acme.json with permission code 600. Otherwise the container will create a folder instead.
+
+Running the container will generate the following structure:
+
+`letsencrypt/`
+
+|--> `acme.json`
+
+4. Check that the api is working.
+
+Visit `http://YOUR_IP_HERE:8080/dashboard`
+
+### Additional Steps
+
+1. Convert to a static Traefik configuration (seems better)
+
+Create `traefik.toml` and edit the `docker-compose.yml` to ensure that it's copied to one of the searched directories (I chose `/etc/traefik/`)
+
+The conversion from env vars to `traefik.toml` is really easy - each one of them is basically describing one attribute of the yaml, so basically just build the yaml from those attributes.
+
+2. Start to secure the Traefik Dashboard.
+
+Generate a password with `htpasswd` (`https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/middlewares/http/basicauth/`)
+
+Example using BCrypt: `https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/307994/compute-bcrypt-hash-from-command-line`. See this thread about Traefik not liking the `$` character: `https://github.com/DeviaVir/zenbot/issues/2663`
+
+
+
+# Some notes about making this a cleaner experience.
+
+I have created blanked files for the traefik.toml and traefik-dynamic.toml since they need important info that will vary by deployment. 
+
+When putting in the user and pw to the toml, you generate the password with htpasswd, but that generates a string with escaped dollar sign values. Since we're putting it into the toml we can replace the double dollar signs with just single dollar signs. 
+
+Also. the acme.json is generated by letsencrypt, so that is not included in the repo as it's a secret.
