This project came out of my desire to understand how to correctly use Traefik as my reverse proxy. I had tried to do the same first with nginx, but it felt like nginx really wasnt built with that use in mind. Once I decoded the Traefik syntax, everything became a breeze.
So here we are, a basic setup showing configuration options I used to get up and running. When in doubt, reference the docs.
The ideal process to start using and experimenting with this boilerplate is to clone it!
git clone https://github.com/karnthis/dev-op-boilerplate.git
Once you have a local copy, you will need to update the placeholders:
MYDOMAINandSUBin the nginx configMYDOMAINin the traefik.toml
Additionally, you will need to copy sample.env to .env and populate it with your values. This boilerplate uses Digitial Ocean, but many others are supported. To use Digital Ocean, you can create a free account and move your DNS configuration to them. It should be a similar process for other providers as well.
