# Traefik
## What it is
Traefik is the reverse proxy and ingress router for PBS infrastructure. It handles TLS termination, service routing, middleware chains, and integration with Cloudflare for DNS and tunnel-based access. Traefik runs as a Docker container in the PBS Linode stack and is the entry point for all HTTP/HTTPS traffic to PBS services.
## Current state
Active at version 3.6.11 (upgraded March 2026 during the server stability hardening session). Key configurations:
- **TLS** — wildcard certificates via Let's Encrypt + Cloudflare DNS challenge
- **Routing** — all PBS services (WordPress, n8n, pbs-hub, Gitea, MySQL proxy, etc.) routed through Traefik labels
- **Middleware** — `block-wpcron` middleware prevents direct HTTP access to `wp-cron.php` (replaced by Supercronic sidecar)
- **Cloudflare Tunnel** — Traefik sits behind Cloudflare Tunnel for MCP and some homelab services
- **Knot DNS** — primary and secondary DNS integrated with Traefik TLS pipeline
The homelab runs its own Traefik **3.7 on VM 102 (`10.0.21.181`)** with Docker + file + ACME providers, separate from the PBS instance. It holds the LE prod wildcard `*.herbylab.dev` (Cloudflare DNS-01) and fronts a growing set of services — `whoami`, the Traefik dashboard (TLS + basicauth), `pihole`, and `openwrt` LuCI — each reachable behind a `cloudflared` tunnel (`traefik-vm`).
## Where it lives
- PBS Linode Docker stack (`traefik` service in Docker Compose)
- Config: labels on Docker Compose services + `traefik.yml` / `dynamic/` config files
- Homelab: separate Traefik instance (or shared) for `.herbylab.dev`

## History
- Ongoing — Core PBS ingress layer
- **March 2026** — Upgraded to v3.6.11 during server stability work
- **March 2026** — `block-wpcron` middleware added when Supercronic replaced WP-Cron
- **2026** — UFW `after.rules` fixed to restore Docker/Traefik outbound routing after UFW misconfiguration caused outage
- **2026-05-06** — Traefik used as ingress for MCP server at `mcp.herbylab.dev`
- **2026-05-11** — Homelab Traefik 3.7 on VM 102: Phase 1.6 wildcard cert + Phase 2 canary; dashboard locked behind TLS+basicauth; `traefik-vm` cloudflared tunnel
- **2026-05-21** — `pihole` + `openwrt` routed on `*.herbylab.dev`; `addPrefix` redirect-loop and self-signed-backend (`insecureSkipVerify`) lessons captured
