Setting up Wordpress with Traefik v2
This guide is incomplete... Traefik, atm unfortunately, does not match my workflow. I am running into a lot of issues with the official documentation as well as the countless tutorials out there. I will put this project on hold until I figured it out.
Preparation
Folders and Files
mkdir -p /opt/traefik/{letsencrypt,config,db,wp}
touch /opt/traefik/traefik.log
Proxy Network
docker network create --gateway 192.168.144.1 --subnet 192.168.144.0/24 traefik_proxy
Configuration
Configuration Files by @Mau5Machine
Docker Compose
/opt/traefik/docker-compose.yml
Instead of using a YML or TOML file and file provider to link it, we will add all Static Configuration directly to the Docker Compose file:
version: "3.3"
services:
