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

2. Rename the example.env file to .env and set the environment variables with your values:

cd traefik-duckdns-letsencrypt
mv .env.example .env

3. 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).

4. Start the containers with Docker Compose:

docker-compose up -d

5. 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 entry in the services section, 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.
