Hello,

traefik:latest is a floating tag, you should pull the tag explicitly because docker-compose will not do it automatically.

As you already have the image traefik:latest locally, Docker detects it, and then it will not try to download it again, so you need to explicitly pull the image to update the reference.

$ docker pull traefik:latest

You can also do docker-compose pull.

Note: I recommend not using traefik:latest because when the v3.0 happens this tag will reference the v3 and not the v2.
I recommend using v2.11 or mimolette (they are also floating tags).

By any chance is there a v2 tag? Or would that be mimolette? Basically is mimolette referring to the major version or minor version?

[ldez]

mimolette references the minor version.

A minor version can require some migration, I'm not sure that a v2 can be an improvement.
