Configuration
Most deployments will configure this image in three layers:
- Environment variables in
.env - Static Traefik entrypoints and providers
- Dynamic routing and middleware rules for your services
What To Configure
- Public ports such as
80and443 - Domain names and TLS settings
- Docker provider access or file-based dynamic config
- Plugin-specific options for middleware you want enabled at the edge
Practical Advice
Keep plugin configuration versioned next to the rest of your infrastructure files so the proxy image, routing rules, and application services move together.
