Traefik: Reverse Proxy and Routing 🛠️

Reverse proxy that routes requests to the required services.

Functions:

  • 🔐 Automatic issue and renewal of SSL certificates (Let’s Encrypt)
  • 🚦 Domain-based routing: grafana.*/ → Grafana, cloud.*/ → Nextcloud
  • ⚡ Service updates without connection drops
  • 🧩 Middleware: authentication (Authelia), rate-limiting, redirects, compression
  • 📊 Metric export for Prometheus - real-time traffic visibility

How it works:

  1. service.potatoenergy.ru is entered in the browser
  2. Traefik checks the rules, applies SSL and middleware
  3. The request is routed to the correct container

For administrators: Dynamic configuration via Docker labels and configuration files, hot-reload without restart, Docker integration.

Access: automatically • the basis for routing all Potato Energy services
