📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

I've spend whole day trying to enable dashboard that somehow does not returns anything. Browser drops closed connection, so I've managed to check the configuration file and found out that dashboard listens on 8080 under localhost. My container gets ip from dhcp and has other ip address, not localhost. I've run netstat -tuln and it showed that 80 and 443 listens on :::80 and :::443, but the dashboard itself under localhost:8080. I don't think this is a correct behaviour when I was agreed with enabling dashboard and didn't expect that it will be listen inside of lxc container.

Is yaml file correct and this behavior is meant to be or not?

Also traefik --configFile=/etc/traefik/traefik.yaml didn't worked to reload configuration. I had to reboot whole container

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

• Run script using this configuration file:

• Try to get into dashboard under 'ip address given by dhcp:8080/dashboard/'
• Live with pain

I'm not familiar with traefik. I know basis of reverse proxy, but never worked with them. I might be wrong in deployment

[tremor021]

that file doesnt exist

[Redplcs]

@tremor021 I think it's because that repo is hidden. I thought this would work. Updated issue

The config file you pasted is the one to create the container. It has nothing to do with traefik the app

[Redplcs]

Yea. The traefik yaml was neven changed. The cli asked would i like to add dashboard and i said yes. After that i've tried to connect into it and browser said closed connection or something like that. i've checked all opened ports and found out that it listens on localhost. I think it's the problem with configuration file that script generates

[Redplcs]

This is what helper script generates for static configuration

global:
  checkNewVersion: false
  sendAnonymousUsage: false

log:
  filePath: /var/log/traefik/traefik.log

accessLog:
  filePath: /var/log/traefik/access.log

entryPoints:
  http:
    address: ':80'
  https:
    address: ':443'
  traefik:
    address: 'localhost:8080'

api:
  insecure: true
  dashboard: true

ping: {}

Seems like they changed a bit the default config.

do:

rc-service traefik stop

remove localhost from localhost:8080 so it just says :8080

then do:

rc-service traefik start

[Redplcs]

yea i already did it. i've changed entrypoint from localhost:8080 to :8080 and rebooted container. i was just curious is it bug or "feature"

[tremor021]

They now create the default config themselves, hence why our script fails. Script makes traefik.yml config file in the /etc/traefik/ directory, but traefik.yaml created by the app takes precedence.
You can also fix your container just by deleting traefik.yaml created by the app.

Anyway, we gonna fix it on a script level. Thanks for noticing this
