Steps to run Traefik in a Proxmox LXC container

1. Create a new LXC container by logging onto the Proxmox web interface. Give it a name, choose the resources we want (CPU, memory, drive), and specify the networking settings.

2. After it has been created, we can access the container through the Proxmox web interface or SSH into it using an SSH client like PuTTY.

3. By executing the following commands, we can upgrade the current packages and update the package lists inside the container:

4. Use the commands below to install Docker within the LXC container

5. Make a directory for Traefik, then enter it:

Configure the settings to suit the requirements, such as activating the Traefik dashboard, choosing entry points, and setting the Docker provider.

7. Using the Docker command, launch the Traefik container

When the Traefik container starts, ports 80 and 443 will be available for HTTP and HTTPS traffic. To allow Traefik to communicate with Docker, it additionally mounts the traefik.yml file and the Docker socket.

8. We can use the Traefik dashboard to check the operation of the Traefik container once it has started running. Then, open a web browser and type the Proxmox server’s IP address or hostname, followed by port 80 or port 443 (depending on the setup). /dashboard.
