Traefik DNS (Cloudflare)

Step by step config:

• Create a VM and install docker. Clone this repo ssh -i yourkey.pem user@ip

• Create Cloudflare token with Zone/Zone Read and Zone/DNS edit.

  • put these secrets in the folder secrets secrets and create files cloudflare-email.secret and cloudflare-token.secret. Place your cloudflare email and cloudflare scoped api token here.

• Run docker compose file and update your domain in line 31,32 - --entrypoints.websecure.http.tls.domains[0].main=dev.moabukar.co.uk - --entrypoints.websecure.http.tls.domains[0].sans=*.dev.moabukar.co.uk

  • Also update the routes for your apps.

• In cloudflare, add an A record and point it to the public IP of your VM

• In security groups, open ports 80 & 443 to allow traffic for Traefik to work properly.

• Run the docker compose with docker compose up -d

• Now access your apps app.yourdomain.co.uk

• You should see the apps working with SSL via Let's encrypt
