How to use docker-compose with Traefik

Traefik is a modern reverse proxy aimed towards applications running through container orchestrators.

Some of the benefits of using Traefik over NGinx are:

• Real-time configuration changes - no need to reload the proxy
• Auto discovery and configuration of services through a vast amount of container orchestrators.
• Built-in official support for Let's Encrypt SSL with certificate auto-renewal
• Supports path-based routing without need to hard-code it in global config.

Traefik Specific Environment Variables

• LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL: Optional, The email Let's Encrypt will use to notify you about certificate expiration.
