Add Docker-Compose Services to Traefik Network

Development Environment

Update your projects docker-compose.yml file so that it includes the network and labels as shown below. Also make sure that you do not expose any ports on your services.

# setup the network
networks:
  frontend:
    external:
      name: reverse-proxy

services:
  someservice:
    # add the labels to the service configuration
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.docker.network=reverse-proxy"
      # http
      - "traefik.http.routers.someservice.rule=Host(`someservice.com`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.someservice.entrypoints=web"
    # add the network to the service configuration
    networks:
