Traefik Demo Stack

This is a simple demonstration of Traefik as a reverse proxy with multiple services.

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Setup

1. DNS Configuration: Ensure you have the following DNS records pointing to your server's IP address:

   • app.yourdomain.com
   • admin.yourdomain.com
   • api.yourdomain.com
   • traefik.yourdomain.com
   • prometheus.yourdomain.com

2. Start the stack:

docker-compose up -d

Accessing the Services

• Traefik Dashboard: https://traefik.yourdomain.com
• Frontend:
  • App Frontend: https://app.yourdomain.com
  • Admin Frontend: https://admin.yourdomain.com
• Backend:
  • Backend 1: https://api.yourdomain.com/backend1
  • Backend 2: https://api.yourdomain.com/backend2
• Metrics Endpoints:
  • Traefik Metrics: https://traefik.yourdomain.com/metrics
  • Prometheus: https://prometheus.yourdomain.com

Docker Compose Configuration

The application utilizes Docker Compose for defining and managing multi-container Docker applications. Key aspects of the configuration include:

Networks

The following networks are defined:

• app-network: A bridge network for the application's services.
• monitoring-network: A bridge network for monitoring-related services.

These networks enable communication between the services. app-network connects all the services and monitoring-network is used to connect traefik and prometheus.

Volumes

The following volumes are defined:

• prometheus_data: A local volume to store Prometheus data.
• letsencrypt: A local volume to store Let's Encrypt certificates for secure communication.

These volumes persist data across container restarts.

Stopping the Stack

docker-compose down
