Simple Traefik auto-discovery localhost Quick Start

README.md

Create a network for Traefik and any future containers to join:

docker network create web

Start up the traefik compose file:

docker-compose up -d

View the dashboard: http://localhost:8080

Start up the example compose file:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.whoami.yml up -d

View the newly created container: http://localhost:8000/whoami

docker-compose.whoami.yml

version: '3'

services:
  whoami:
    # A container that exposes an API to show its IP address
    image: containous/whoami
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.http.routers.whoami.rule=PathPrefix(`/whoami`)"

    # The official v2 Traefik docker image

    volumes:
      # So that Traefik can listen to the Docker events
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro

# add traefik to the web network so that it can send traffic to other containers
