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:
  routers:
    dashboard:
      rule: Host(`<DOMAIN_FOR_TRAEFIK>`) && (PathPrefix(`/dashboard`) || PathPrefix(`/api`))
      service: api@internal
      middlewares:
        - auth
  middlewares:
    auth:
      basicAuth:
        users:
          - "<GENERATED_USERNAME>:<GENERATED_PASSWORD>"

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

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