Traefik is ignoring routers from file completely (Docker)

[mrvnklm]

I am using a file providing routers in a docker-only environment and everything works fine as long I am using lables. When I try to define my routers in a file, they are ignored.
Besides that neither (routers / middlewares) added in the traefik.yml are recognized and applied, but that could be on purpose?

Hi! I'm Træfiker 🤖 the bot in charge of communication regulation.

Thanks for your interest in Traefik!

We dedicate the issue tracker to bug reports and feature requests only. My advanced AI has spotted that your issue might be a configuration problem or relates to something that doesn't look like a bug.

To confirm this, please join our Community Forum and reach out to us on the Traefik section.

In case I'm wrong (well, that would be embarrassing 😅), my developers will re-open the issue and fix me!

In the meantime, you can double check Traefik's documentation.

Hi @mrvnklm , when you enable the "file provider", it means you are enabling the dynamic configuration to be retrieved from a file, while traefik.yml is the file containing the static configuration. Reference: https://docs.traefik.io/v2.0/getting-started/configuration-overview/#the-static-configuration.

Try to define routers and services in the file specified by providers.file.filename and let us know in the community forum (as it's not a Traefik bug but a configuration issue :) ). Thanks a lot!

If you feel that the documentation did not point you to the right element:
