Adding a service

If you followed the Installation correctly, adding services to traefik gets really easy.

Adding docker services with docker compose

To add a docker compose service, simply add the following labels:

services:
  bookstack:
    labels:
      traefik.enable: true
      traefik.http.routers.bookstack.rule: Host(`bookstack.${SITE}`)
      traefik.http.routers.bookstack.entrypoints: websecure

This will dynamically tell traefik to route the service, no restart of traefik is required. The service will be routed via the websecure entrypoint (Port 443 with default wildcard certificate). The service will then be available at https://bookstack.<SITE>, e.g. https://bookstack.example.com. By default, the custom error pages will be used.

If you want your service to only be accessible from your internal network, add the following label aswell:

traefik.http.routers.bookstack.middlewares: secured@file

If your container uses multiple ports, you can specify the correct one for traefik to use by adding the label:

traefik.http.services.<servicename>.loadbalancer.server.port: <PORT>
