Traefik Dashboard

By default, the Traefik dashboard is enabled in secure mode, but not configured to be accessible from the internet.

To enable access from the internet, you need to add a dynamic configuration and secure it with a username and password.

You can enable Traefik's dashboard by adding the following dynamic configuration:

http:
  middlewares:
    auth:
      basicAuth:
        users:
          - "<GENERATED_USERNAME>:<GENERATED_PASSWORD>"
    redirect-to-https:
      redirectScheme:
        scheme: https

  routers:
    dashboard-http:
      rule: Host(`<DOMAIN_FOR_TRAEFIK>`) && (PathPrefix(`/dashboard`) || PathPrefix(`/api`))
      entryPoints:
        - http
      service: api@internal
      middlewares:
        - redirect-to-https

    dashboard-https:
      rule: Host(`<DOMAIN_FOR_TRAEFIK>`) && (PathPrefix(`/dashboard`) || PathPrefix(`/api`))
      entryPoints:
        - https
      service: api@internal
      tls:
        certResolver: letsencrypt
      middlewares:
        - auth

Replace <DOMAIN_FOR_TRAEFIK>, <GENERATED_USERNAME>, and <GENERATED_PASSWORD> with your own values.

You can reach the dashboard by visiting https://<DOMAIN_FOR_TRAEFIK>/dashboard/#/.

Insecure Mode (Not Recommended)

If you want to enable the dashboard in insecure mode (without a password), all you need to do is go to the proxy configurations view and change the insecure setting to true, then restart the proxy..
