Traefik
Purpose: Reverse proxy and TLS termination for all homelab services.
Configuration
- HTTP (port 80) → automatically redirects to HTTPS
- HTTPS (port 443) → TLS termination via Let's Encrypt
- TLS wildcard certificate for
*.home.jens.pub and home.jens.pub
- Certificate resolver: Let's Encrypt via DNS-01 challenge (Namecheap provider)
- DNS resolvers used for challenge:
1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8
- Docker provider: auto-discovers containers via socket (opt-in with
traefik.enable=true)
- Dashboard: enabled, exposed at
traefik.home.jens.pub (secured, no insecure mode)
