Yep that’s how I have Syncthing set up. All global and local discovery disabled, no firewall ports open on the clients, no broadcasting, no relay servers. Just syncing through a central server which maintains versioning and where the backups run. Works like a charm.

Not that it’s my first recommendation for security reasons, and I would never do this in prod, but you can just add the self-signed cert to the local trusted root CA store and it should work fine. No reg changes needed.

If you do this, put it in the store of the user running the client, not LocalMachine. Then you just need to make sure you connect as something in the cert’s SAN list. An IP might work (don’t know since I never try to put IPs in the SAN list), but just use a hosts entry if you can’t modify local DNS.

Edit: after reading the full OP post (sorry), I don’t think it’s necessarily the self-signed cert. If the browser is connecting with https:// and presenting a basic auth prompt, then https is working. It almost sounds like there is a 301/302 redirect back to http after login. Check the Network tab of the browser’s dev pane (F12) to see what is going on.

This is like the epitome of the XY Problem.

While private prisons are abhorrent and unconscionable, they aren’t even close to the root cause of our prison problem. Hint: it’s systemic racism and our militarized police culture.

Louisiana, the #1 on the list supposedly had 0 private prison inmates in 2021. Blaming private prisons at this point almost feels like deflecting from the real issues.

Use a Chromium browser to inspect the cert.

If anyone knows how to get Firefox to show a bad cert before loading the page, I’d love to know.

Assuming you’re the one adding HSTS, you’ll have to inspect the cert and/or view the content that is getting returned. On desktop Chromium you can type “thisisunsafe” to load a page even with HSTS. Not sure how to do it on mobile FF.

Would seem weird for it to be intercepting your domain’s traffic but not the rest of the internet.

Edit: just noticed you’re not even loading an SSL page. Are you using https in the URL?

Are you getting redirected to their captive portal?

Try this:

If you’re sure you’ve got a DNS entry for the Pihole FQDN pointing at Traefik, open the dev panel in your browser (F12), switch it to the Network tab, and visit the pihole URL.

See if you get anything back and especially take note of the HTTP status codes.

Can you see the router and service in the Traefik dashboard and do they show any errors there?

I think you’re close.

You need to change service: pihole-rtr to service: pihole-svc.

Do I have to redefine all of the same information I did in my Traefik yml but in this separate config.yml?

No, you just need to reference it like you have. Define once, reference many.

No worries for the question. It’s not terribly intuitive.

The configs live on the Traefik server. In my static traefik.yml config I have the following providers section, which adds the file provider in addition to the docker provider which you likely already have:

providers:
  docker:
    endpoint: "unix:///var/run/docker.sock"
    exposedByDefault: false
  file:
    directory: /config
    watch: true

And in the /config folder mapped into the Traefik container I have several files for services external to docker. You can combine them or keep them separate since the watch: true setting tells it to read in all files (and it’s near instant when you create them, no need to restart Traefik).

Here is my homeassistant.yml in that folder (I have a separate VM running HASS outside of Docker/Traefik):

http:
  routers:
    homeassistant-rtr:
      entryPoints:
      - https
      service: homeassistant-svc
      rule: "Host(`home.example.com`)"
      tls:
        certResolver: examplecom-dns

  services:
    homeassistant-svc:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
          - url: "http://hass1.internal.local:8123"

Hope this helps!

I use the Traefik file provider for this.

https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/providers/file/

It picks up all my .yml configs in the watched folder which define the routers and services external to Docker.

I know plenty account SNI already, but thanks. You might want to study more yourself, since we’re being condescending.

So now your ISP sees all of your queries instead of CF. (Assuming the cloudflared option is using DoH)

I’ll trust Cloudflare over Comcast/AT&T/etc. any day of the week.

I believe you. I’m just saying their non-firewalls (i.e., switches and APs) don’t have that limitation.

My firewall is a Fortigate 60F.

I would never use their firewalls/gateways, but their switches are pretty good for the price and their APs are decent (although tbh after 3 generations my next AP will likely be an enterprise Aruba).

That said, I still use Unifi in docker, everything is up to date, and nothing is requiring a sign-in to the cloud. Am I missing something? If it’s just the firewalls, then I’m not surprised since I’ve never been remotely tempted to use them, but it sure isn’t all of their devices.

In that case, if CF is taking to Traefik and not the actual origin server, you just need to forget about the origin certs altogether and use LE certs in Traefik.

If you, Traefik, and your origin server are on the same network, then it’s going to be one hop regardless of whether you’re hitting the Traefik proxy or the origin server. If Traefik is serving up the origin server’s cert and not the LE cert, then Traefik is misconfigured to pass through instead of proxy, but I’m still not sure that’s the case as it’s almost harder to configure it that way than the correct way as a proxy.

What IP:port is your origin server listening on, what IP:port is Traefik listening on, and how is Traefik configured to reach the origin server?
