Routing paths with Traefik

Question

Currently I\'m trying set up a loadbalancer/reverse proxy with Traefik for some docker containers. I\'m having trouble with configuring Treafik to make my apps available usi

Answer 1

for future googler

The reason it doesn't work without slash is an existing issue

https://github.com/containous/traefik/issues/563

For v2 docker label

      - "traefik.http.routers.portainer-secure.rule=Host(`your-domain.com`) && PathPrefix(`/portainer`)"

      - "traefik.http.routers.portainer-secure.middlewares=portainer-redirectregex, portainer-replacepathregex"

      - "traefik.http.middlewares.portainer-replacepathregex.replacepathregex.regex=^/portainer/(.*)"
      - "traefik.http.middlewares.portainer-replacepathregex.replacepathregex.replacement=/$$1"
      - "traefik.http.middlewares.portainer-redirectregex.redirectregex.regex=^(.*)/portainer$$"
      - "traefik.http.middlewares.portainer-redirectregex.redirectregex.replacement=$$1/portainer/"

Answer 2

This morning I found the solution. The correct approach in cases like these should be to use the PathPrefixStrip rule. However, as mentioned here, putting a / at the end of the rule will break the setup. I created a working configuration by removing / at the end of the PathPrefixStrip: /portainer4/ rule. So this docker-compose configuration worked for me:

version: '2'

services:
  traefik:
    container_name: traefik2
    image: traefik
    command: --web --docker --docker.domain=docker.localhost --logLevel=DEBUG
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "8081:8080"
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      - /dev/null:/traefik.toml
    labels:
        - "traefik.enable=false"
  portainer:
    image: portainer/portainer
    labels:
      - "traefik.backend=portainer"
      - "traefik.frontend.rule=PathPrefixStrip: /portainer"

Now when I navigate to <myIP>/portainer/ I see the portainer page. I do, however, still get the white page as mentioned earlier when I navigate to <myIP>/portainer.
