# Dev Proxy with Traefik

This project sets up a local development environment with Traefik as a reverse proxy.

## What is Traefik?

Traefik is a modern reverse proxy and load balancer that automatically discovers your services and configures itself accordingly. This makes it perfect for containerized environments.

## Getting Started

1. Ensure Docker and Docker Compose are installed on your system
2. Start the services:
   ```
   docker-compose up -d
   ```
3. Access the Traefik dashboard at: http://traefik.localhost:8080
4. Access the example app at: http://app.localhost

## Configuration

The main configuration is in the `docker-compose.yml` file and additional Traefik configuration is in the `traefik/config/` directory.

To add a new service to be proxied by Traefik:

1. Add a new service to the docker-compose.yml
2. Add the appropriate Traefik labels to the service
3. Restart the containers with `docker-compose up -d`

## Example Labels

```yaml
labels:
  - "traefik.enable=true"
  - "traefik.http.routers.myservice.rule=Host(`myservice.localhost`)"
  - "traefik.http.routers.myservice.entrypoints=web"
  - "traefik.http.services.myservice.loadbalancer.server.port=8080"
```
