Traefik (Standalone Docker/Podman Host)

This directory contains the docker-compose.yml for a Traefik instance configured to run on a single Docker or Podman host. It acts as a reverse proxy and load balancer for services running on that specific host, utilizing the local docker.sock for provider discovery.

Running with Podman Compose

To run this Traefik instance using podman-compose:

Navigate to this directory:

cd optimized/standalone/Traefik_Standalone

Important: Replace DUCKDNS_TOKEN placeholder with your actual DuckDNS token in the docker-compose.yml.
Ensure the ./letsencrypt directory exists and has appropriate permissions for ACME certificate storage.
Ensure traefik_dynamic.yml exists and contains your dynamic configurations.
Start the services:
```
podman-compose up -d
```

Running with Podman

You can run Traefik directly with Podman. Due to the extensive command-line arguments and volume mounts, using podman-compose is generally recommended for this setup.

A simplified podman run example for Traefik (you would need to adapt the command arguments and volumes fully):

podman run -d \
  --name traefik \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -e DUCKDNS_TOKEN="YOUR_DUCKDNS_TOKEN" \
  -p "80:80" -p "443:443" -p "8089:8089" \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro \
  -v ./letsencrypt:/letsencrypt \
  -v ./traefik_dynamic.yml:/etc/traefik/traefik_dynamic.yml:ro \
  traefik:latest \
  --api.insecure=false \
  --api.dashboard=true \
  --entrypoints.web.address=:80 \
  --entrypoints.websecure.address=:443 \
  --entrypoints.dashboard.address=:8089 \
  --providers.docker=true \
  --providers.docker.endpoint=unix:///var/run/docker.sock \
  --providers.docker.exposedbydefault=false \
  --providers.file.filename=/etc/traefik/traefik_dynamic.yml \
  --providers.file.watch=true \
  --certificatesresolvers.duckdns.acme.email=your@email.com \
  --certificatesresolvers.duckdns.acme.storage=/letsencrypt/acme.json \
  --certificatesresolvers.duckdns.acme.dnschallenge.provider=duckdns \
  --certificatesresolvers.duckdns.acme.dnschallenge.disablepropagationcheck=true

Notes

This Traefik instance is for a single host. Your Swarm environment will have its own Traefik instance for cluster-wide routing.
Ensure that traefik_dynamic.yml and the letsencrypt directory are correctly configured and persistent.
The whoami service is a simple test service and will be automatically discovered by Traefik if correctly configured.
