Configure Traefik (optional, advanced)

By default, this playbook installs and manages a Traefik reverse-proxy server, powered by the com.devture.ansible.role.traefik Ansible role.

This Ansible role support various configuration options. Feel free to consult its default/main.yml variables file.

devture_traefik_config_accessLog_enabled: false

Enable Traefik Dashboard

This will enable a Traefik Dashboard UI at https://matrix.DOMAIN/dashboard/ (note the trailing /).

devture_traefik_dashboard_enabled: true
devture_traefik_dashboard_hostname: "{{ matrix_server_fqn_matrix }}"
devture_traefik_dashboard_basicauth_enabled: true
devture_traefik_dashboard_basicauth_user: YOUR_USERNAME_HERE
devture_traefik_dashboard_basicauth_password: YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE

WARNING: enabling the dashboard on a hostname you use for something else (like matrix_server_fqn_matrix in the configuration above) may cause conflicts. Enabling the Traefik Dashboard makes Traefik capture all /dashboard and /api requests and forward them to itself. If any of the services hosted on the same hostname requires any of these 2 URL prefixes, you will experience problems. So far, we're not aware of any playbook services which occupy these endpoints and are likely to cause conflicts.

Additional configuration

Use the devture_traefik_configuration_extension_yaml variable provided by the Traefik Ansible role to override or inject additional settings, even when no dedicated variable exists.

# This is a contrived example.
# You can enable and secure the Dashboard using dedicated variables. See above.
devture_traefik_configuration_extension_yaml: |
  api:
    dashboard: true
