-# GB Traefik Setup
+# Traefik Edge Stack
 
-This repository contains the configuration files and setup instructions for deploying [Traefik](https://traefik.io/), a modern reverse proxy and load balancer.
+Reverse proxy for everything on this host. The goal: keep Cloudflare in front, expose a private LAN entrypoint, and let Docker stacks self-register through labels without leaking secrets.
 
-Configuration files is customized for Gbanyan personal usage. 
+## Architecture Snapshot
 
-## Prerequisites
+- **Static config (`traefik.yml`)**  
+  - EntryPoints: `web/websecure` on `10.0.0.225`, `internal_web/internal_websecure` on `192.168.50.4`.  
+  - Trusted IP lists are managed by `scripts/update_cloudflare_ips.py`.  
+  - Docker provider is discovery-only; every container opts in with labels.  
+  - File provider loads everything in `dynamic.d/`.
 
-- Docker installed on your system
+- **Dynamic config (`dynamic.d/`)**  
-- Docker Compose (if using `docker-compose.yml`)
+  - `middlewares/` – retry, compression, CrowdSec (rendered from template).  
+  - `transports/fast-upstreams.yml` – shared connection pool tuning.  
+  - `routers/` – internal-only routers (public ones stay in labels).
 
-## Getting Started
+- **Host networking**  
+  Traefik runs with `network_mode: host` so it can bind to both IPs simultaneously. Switching to bridge mode would require duplicating Traefik or adding another L4 hop, so host mode stays.
 
-1. Clone this repository:
+## Secrets Workflow
-    ```bash
-    git clone https://gitea.gbanyan.net/gbanyan/GB-Traefik.git
-    cd GB-Traefik
-    ```
 
-2. Update the `traefik.yml` and `docker-compose.yml` files as needed for your environment.
+1. Copy `.env.example` → `.env` and fill:
+   - `CLOUDFLARE_EMAIL`, `CLOUDFLARE_DNS_API_TOKEN`
+   - `CROWDSEC_LAPI_KEY`
+2. Render secret-aware dynamic files:
+   ```bash
+   ./scripts/render_dynamic.sh
+   ```
+   This uses `templates/crowdsec.yml.tmpl` and writes `dynamic.d/middlewares/crowdsec.yml` (ignored by git).
 
-3. Start Traefik:
+## Runbook
-    ```bash
-    docker compose up -d
-    ```
 
-4. Access the Traefik dashboard (if enabled) at `http://<your-domain-or-ip>:8080`.
+```bash
+# start / update Traefik
+docker compose up -d traefik
 
-## Configuration
+# refresh Cloudflare IPs and restart safely
+python scripts/update_cloudflare_ips.py
 
-- **.env**: Cloudflare E-mail and API Token for SSL DNS Challenge
+# tail logs
-- **Traefik Configuration**: Modify `traefik.yml`, `dynamic.yml` to customize Traefik's behavior.
+tail -f traefik.log
-- **Docker Compose**: Use `docker-compose.yml` to define services and networks.
+tail -f access.log
-
-
-## Detail: 
-
-My traefik is split into internal and external entrypoint. 
-
-Internal entrypoint is for private and secure service without exposing. 
-
-Each entrypoint is binded to different ip address for isolation. 
-
-Then, other docker service is attached to different entrypoint guided by label in docker compose
-
-```yaml
-label: 
-    - "traefik.http.routers.service-name.entrypoints=websecure"
 ```
 
-Besides the entrypoint setup, I add cloudflare proxy (for exposing real ip to access.log for crowdsec to read), crowdsec-firewall-bouncer, compression with brotli middlrewares method in traefik.yml and dynamic.yml
+Rotate CrowdSec keys? Edit `.env`, rerun `render_dynamic.sh`, then `docker compose up -d traefik`.
 
-Adding middlewares is also guided by labels: 
+## Service Labels Cheat Sheet
-
-```yaml
-label: 
-    - "traefik.http.routers.service-name.middlewares=cloudflarewarp@file,crowdsec@file,compress-middleware@file"
-```
-
-The order of middlewares is meaningful. 
-
-Traefik has ability to apply SSL certs automatically. 
-Just offer the required DNS API authentication (Like cloudflare). 
-
-Please refer the traefik documentation. 
-
-The following is an example of a docker service I hosted in its docker-compose.yaml: 
 
 ```yaml
 labels:
-      - "traefik.enable=true"
+  - traefik.enable=true
-      - "traefik.http.routers.ghost.entrypoints=websecure"
+  - traefik.http.routers.myapp.rule=Host(`app.example.com`)
-      - "traefik.http.routers.ghost.rule=Host(`blog.gbanyan.net`)"
+  - traefik.http.routers.myapp.entrypoints=websecure
-      - "traefik.http.services.ghost.loadbalancer.server.port=2368"
+  - traefik.http.routers.myapp.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt
-      - "traefik.http.routers.ghost.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt"
+  - traefik.http.routers.myapp.middlewares=crowdsec@file,retry-fast@file,compress-middleware@file
-      - "traefik.http.routers.ghost.middlewares=cloudflarewarp@file,crowdsec@file,compress-middleware@file"
+  - traefik.http.services.myapp.loadbalancer.serversTransport=fast-upstreams@file
-      - "com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.enable=true"
+  - traefik.http.services.myapp.loadbalancer.server.port=3000
-      - "traefik.docker.network=traefik_default"
+  - traefik.docker.network=traefik_default
 ```
 
-I mount the access.log for crowdsec firewall to read. 
+Most stacks use the same middleware chain: CrowdSec bouncer (plugin), retry, and compression. Internal-only services skip CrowdSec by pointing at the `internal_*` entrypoints.
 
-PS: Because I access my traefik dashboard through my local network. I commented out the authetication method for dashboard. 
+## Performance Notes
 
-## Discussion and Changelog
+- Access logs are buffered with headers trimmed to keep syscalls down.  
+- Compression enforces a 1 KB minimum and respects the client’s preferred encoding.  
+- Shared transport keeps 64 idle connections per backend with aggressive idle/response timeouts.  
+- `retry-fast` retries once after 50 ms, smoothing transient Puma/Node hiccups without hammering backends.
 
-1. Traefik vs Nginx
+## Things to Remember
-- Performance: Nginx is still better at high traffic. After all it is written in C. Traefik 3 though claims it has higher 20% performance than before. The latency still showed a little higher than nginx. 
-- Docker Deployment Ease: Traefik is easier for docker service deployment. In my environment, I can assign each docker stack with labels and then guides the traefik to add Let's encrypt SSL. 
 
-2. ChangeLog: 
+- Watchtower is still enabled for Traefik; pin the image tag when you need deterministic upgrades.  
-
+- `scripts/update_cloudflare_ips.py` rewrites the static trusted IP block and restarts Traefik—run it via cron.  
-- 2025.4.21 Add the defaulthost rule for container name for lazy writing. But commented out for precision.  
+- Dashboard auth is intentionally disabled because access only happens from the LAN entrypoint. If that changes, re-enable `basicauth`.
-- 2025.4.21 Fix the trused IP settings to let the traefik-plugin-cloudflare tackle it. 
-- 2025.4.18 Add Souin HTTP Cache Middleware (in feature branch, not merge into main)
-- 2025.4.18 Temp disable the compression middleware. It has MIME type bugs.
