Based on our previous post Simple Traefik docker-compose setup with Lets Encrypt Cloudflare DNS-01 & TLS-ALPN-01 & HTTP-01 challenges this is the TOML config I use to allow access to the Traefik dashboard using HTTPS and my Let’s encrypt wildcard certificate. In this example, it will be reachable under traefik.mydomain.com. Place the config in /opt/traefik/conf/api.toml assuming you have setup Traefik based on our example.
[http.routers.traefik-api] rule = "Host(`traefik.mydomain.com`)" service = "[email protected]" middlewares = ["auth"] [http.routers.traefik-api.tls] certresolver = "cloudflare" [[http.routers.traefik-api.tls.domains]] main = "mydomain.com" sans = ["*.mydomain.com"] [http.middlewares.auth.basicAuth] users = [ "admin:$apr1$ocvmQb0w$Bwlbz3V2VVRZlcu46X0zK0", ]
Create a new password string using htpasswd:
htpasswd -n admin
When prompted, enter the password and then copy the password such as admin:$apr1$ocvmQb0w$Bwlbz3V2VVRZlcu46X0zK0 to the [http.middlewares.auth.basicAuth] section:
[http.middlewares.auth.basicAuth] users = [ "COPY IT HERE" ]
It should look like our full example above.
