Response Compression in Traefik

[johnny-fridburg]

What problem will this feature address?

I noticed that most HTTP responses are uncompressed.

Describe the solution you'd like

Traefik supports the Compress middleware. It would be great if response compression can be enabled server-wide (like how Cloudflare's automatically compresses HTTP responses if the upstream doesn't do it).

Describe alternatives you've considered

Currently I am using manually editing Traefik config.

First I have to create a dynamic config file:

# /etc/dokploy/traefik/dynamic/compress.yml
http:
  middlewares:
    compress:
      compress:
        encodings: [br, zstd, gzip]

Then I have to edit the main config file to use this middleware globally:

# /etc/dokploy/traefik/traefik.yml (excerpt)
entryPoints:
  web:
    address: :80
    http: # 👈 NEW
      middlewares:
        - compress@file
  websecure:
    address: :443
    http3:
      advertisedPort: 443
    http:
      tls:
        certResolver: letsencrypt
      middlewares: # 👈 NEW
        - compress@file

After reloading, responses are now compressed.

Additional context
