Traefik (Docker Only)

This guide helps you configure Traefik as a reverse proxy for Planka when running with Docker. Traefik handles HTTPS certificates automatically using Let's Encrypt.

1. Create Traefik Folder​

mkdir -p /opt/traefik && cd /opt/traefik

2. Create the Traefik Configuration​

Create the traefik.yml file:

nano traefik.yml

Paste and edit the following (replace your@email-com):

global:
  checkNewVersion: true
  sendAnonymousUsage: false

api:
  dashboard: false
  # Set insecure to false for production!
  insecure: false

entryPoints:
  web:
    address: ":80"
    http:
      redirections:
        entryPoint:
          to: websecure
          scheme: https

  websecure:
    address: ":443"
    http:
      tls:
        certResolver: default

certificatesResolvers:
  default:
    acme:
      email: your@email-com
      storage: /ssl-certs/acme.json
      httpChallenge:
        entryPoint: web

providers:
  docker:
    exposedByDefault: false

3. Create the Traefik Docker Compose File​

Create docker-compose.yml:

nano docker-compose.yml

Insert:

version: "3"

services:
  traefik:
    image: traefik:v2.9
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "443:443"
      # Uncomment to enable dashboard (insecure for production)
      # - "8080:8080"
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      - /opt/traefik/traefik.yml:/etc/traefik/traefik.yml
      - /opt/traefik/ssl/:/ssl-certs/

4. Add Labels to Planka's docker-compose.yml​

Update your Planka service with Traefik labels. Replace domain.tld with your actual domain:

labels:
  - "traefik.enable=true"
  - "traefik.http.routers.frontend.rule=Host(`domain.tld`)"
  - "traefik.http.routers.frontend.entrypoints=websecure"
  - "traefik.http.routers.frontend.tls.certresolver=default"

5. Start Traefik​

docker compose up -d

Now Traefik will automatically manage HTTPS for your Planka instance.
