Traefik, DuckDNS, and Let's Encrypt Integration

This project demonstrates the integration of the following tools to create a secure, dynamic, and scalable reverse proxy solution:

  • Traefik: a modern HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer
  • DuckDNS: a free dynamic DNS service
  • Let's Encrypt: a free, automated, and open certificate authority

Requirements

  • A server or a virtual machine with Docker and Docker Compose installed
  • A DuckDNS account and domain

Installation

  1. Clone this repository to your server:
git clone https://github.com/scafer/traefik-duckdns-letsencrypt
  1. Rename the .env.example file to .env and set the environment variables with your values:
cd traefik-duckdns-letsencrypt
mv .env.example .env

  1. Replace your-duckdns-token with your DuckDNS token, your-email with your email address, and your-duckdns-domain with your duckdns domain (ex: your-domain.duckdns.org).

  2. Start the containers with Docker Compose:

docker-compose up -d
  1. Access whoami at https://whoami.your-domain.duckdns.org and make sure everything is working properly.

Usage

To add a new service behind Traefik, simply create a new Docker Compose file in the services directory, following the example of the whoami service.

Conclusion

With this setup, you can easily add and manage multiple services behind a single domain, with automatic HTTPS certificates from Let's Encrypt and dynamic DNS updates from DuckDNS.
