Hej everyone. My traefik setup has been up and running for a few months now. I love it, a bit scary to switch at first, but I encourage you to look at, if you haven't. Middelwares are amazing: I mostly use it for CrowdSec and authentication. Theres two things I could use some feedback, though.
- I mostly use docker labels to setup routers in traefik. Some people only define on router (HTTP) and some both (+ HTTPS) and I did the latter.
- labels
- traefik.enable=true
- traefik.http.routers.jellyfin.entrypoints=web
- traefik.http.routers.jellyfin.rule=Host(`jellyfin.local.domain.de`)
- traefik.http.middlewares.jellyfin-https-redirect.redirectscheme.scheme=https
- traefik.http.routers.jellyfin.middlewares=jellyfin-https-redirect
- traefik.http.routers.jellyfin-secure.entrypoints=websecure
- traefik.http.routers.jellyfin-secure.rule=Host(`jellyfin.local.domain.de`)
- traefik.http.routers.jellyfin-secure.middlewares=local-whitelist@file,default-headers@file
- traefik.http.routers.jellyfin-secure.tls=true
- traefik.http.routers.jellyfin-secure.service=jellyfin
- traefik.http.services.jellyfin.loadbalancer.server.port=8096
- traefik.docker.network=media
So, I don't want to serve HTTP at all, all will be redirected to HTTPS anyway. What I don't know is, if I can skip the HTTP part. Must I define the web entrypoint in order for redirect to work? Or can I define it in the traefik.yml as I did below?
entryPoints:
ping:
address: ':88'
web:
address: ":80"
http:
redirections:
entryPoint:
to: websecure
scheme: https
websecure:
address: ":443"
- I use homepage (from benphelps) as my dashboard and noticed, that when I refresh the page, all those widgets take a long time to load. They did not do that, when I connecte homepage to those services directly using IP:PORT. Now I use URLs provided by traefik, and it's slow. It's not really a problem, but I wonder, if I made a mistake somewhere. I'm still a beginner when it comes to this, so any pointers in the right direction are apprecciated. Thank you =)
I did what you suggested and reduced (1) the number of running services to a minimum and (2) the networks traefik is a member of to a minmum. It didn't change a thing. Then I opened a private browser window and saw much faster loading times. Great. I then set everything back and refreshed the private browser window: still fast. Okay. Guess it's not Traefik after all. The final nail in the coffin for my theory: I uses two traefik instances. Homepage still loads its widgets left to right, top to bottom (the order from the yaml file). The order doesn't correspond to the instances, it's more or less random. So I'm assuming the slowdown has something to do with (a) either caching from traefik or (b) the way Homepage handels the API request: http://IP:PORT (fast) or https://subdomain.domain.de. Anyway, thanks for your help!
Humph… I wonder what’s the actual underlying issue here. Such a strange one!! Hope you’re able to figure it out at some point!
Thanks, I'll let you know, once/if I figure it out!
