Traefik configuration issue with local proxy

Question

Edit: I have updated my configuration to reflect Henrik Hoegh's tutorial. I am still running into issues.

I am setting up a local development environment with lots of docker containers running applications. I am using Traefik to manage and locally proxy these containers (each container having a named local URL). Right now my setup is as follows

Traefik.toml

[web]
  address = ":8088"
  [web.statistics]

################################################################
# Docker configuration backend
################################################################
[docker]

endpoint = "unix:///var/run/docker.sock"
domain = "local.io"
watch = true

# Expose containers by default in traefik
exposedbydefault = true

# Use the IP address from the bound port instead of the inner network one. For specific use-case :)
usebindportip = true

# Use Swarm Mode services as data provider
swarmmode = false

Docker-compose.yml file for container

... 
container_name: mcserviceface
labels:
  - "traefik.port=8080"
...

I also have added local.io and mcserviceface.local.io (both pointing to my local machine) to my ect/hosts file.

When I start up the Traefik container and the mcserviceface container, it shows up on the Traefik dashboard, but it does not show the URL as mcserviceface.local.io rather something like http://185.28.0.3:80. I also hit a ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT when I follow that link.

How do I resolve both of these issues?

Edit: I have made sure that both containers on are on the same docker network via docker network connect .... It does not resolve the issue.

Answer 1

Make sure you connect your traefik instance to the client docker-network (as specified on the bottom of this page):

When running inside a container, Træfik will need network access through:

docker network connect <network> <traefik-container>
