Could you provide an example using a config file?

[Jacob-Roberts]

I'm trying to migrate my config, but I use a file rather than the command.

Could you provide an example of how that works? I'm struggling to get it to see the config file if I volume mount like

volumes:
      - ./config/traefik.yaml:/traefik/var/traefik.yaml:ro
      - ./config/conf/:/traefik/var/conf/:ro

I normally try to provide the features needed by the community, but this time I must ask: Why do you want to provide a static config when you can use the commands for this? Dynamic config is needed for dynamic yml or even the certificates, but static?

[Jacob-Roberts]

I personally prefer the style of using static config as a yaml file. I know it’s possible to move to commands, but I find the traefik documentation easier to navigate through the yaml static config

[Jacob-Roberts]

But honestly maybe I just migrate. It is annoying to update the yaml file and then need to restart the container (docker won’t auto recognize that it needs to restart)

Solved it with this docker compose

services:
  traefik-demo-1:
    depends_on:
      socket-proxy:
        condition: "service_healthy"
        restart: true
    image: "11notes/traefik:3"
    read_only: true
    command:
      - "--configFile=/traefik/traefik.yml"
    ports:
      - "80:80/tcp"
      - "8080:8080/tcp"
      - "443:443/tcp"
    volumes:
      - "./config-demo/traefik.yml:/traefik/traefik.yml:ro"
      - "./config-demo/conf:/traefik/conf:ro"
      - "./config-demo/certs:/traefik/certs:rw"
      # access docker socket via proxy read-only
      - "socket-proxy:/var/run"
      # plugins stored as volume because of read-only
      - "./config-demo/plugins:/plugins-storage"
    networks:
      - frontend
      - internal
    sysctls:
      # allow rootless container to access ports < 1024
      net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start: 80
    restart: "unless-stopped"

That is how the static configuration works and why it makes sense to put it in the commands and not a file, because you do not restart the container anyway.
