Traefik 2.0 + Docker — an Advanced Guide

Source: https://docs.traefik.io/assets/img/routers.png

Introduction

This tutorial is the second part of this article. We will go trough the following configurations:

1. Add a file provider* to traefik.yml
2. Create a config file for a central configuration for storing middlewares config.yml.
3. Configure a middleware chain

*file provider is another place where you can store your configuration

You will find all the required configuration files in our Git repository.

EDIT: Unfortunately there is currently an issue with embedded Gists on the Medium Desktop site (mobile works fine). You can find all our Gists here.

Prerequisites

Update Traefik configuration

To setup a reusable middleware add an additional provider in the Traefik configuration file traefik.yml (Lines 15 and 16).
