Traefik

Traefik is my load balancer. https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/getting-started/quick-start/

Setup

Folder Structure

Create/Fill in the following files in a traefik/ directory under this one using the provided templates:

traefik.toml
traefik-dynamic.toml.

Before the first run, create acme.json with the initial contents {}. Make sure it has permission code 600 (chmod 600 acme.json), incorrect permissions will break traefik.

Volumes

In addition to the above files, make sure the docker socket is mounted:

/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro

Notes

Adjustments

By default there are 60s upload, download, and idle timeouts. Adjust them by modifying traefik.toml:

[entryPoints.websecure.transport.respondingTimeouts]
    readTimeout = "512s"
    writeTimeout = "512s"
    idleTimeout = "512s"
