Home Assistant with Docker and Traefik

Im hoping someone here can help. I currently have Docker running on an Ubuntu Server 18.04. I have Traefik, Home Assistant and Portainer (all running the latest versions) running at the moment. I have Traefik setup with my DuckDNS account and its set up successfully with Lets Encrypt. The trouble Im having is that the HA page doesnt load fully when attempting to access it from the DuckDNS url. I am able to access Traefik’s front end just from from the url, but when I attempt to access HA the only thing that loads is the blue bar across the top. I checked the logs in HA but there wasnt anything that talked about blocked access. Im not sure what else to check. Ill post my configs below

EDIT: I also tried re-creating the containers with all the - "traefik.frontend.headers. commented out but that didnt change anything.

I’m in the middle of setting this up right now to get rid of another box so I’m not at the HASS portion yet. But… you should switch your [acme] section around so you pull a wildcard cert for your duckdns domain.

# Let's encrypt configuration
[acme]
email = "[email protected]"
storage="/etc/traefik/acme/acme.json"
entryPoint = "https"
acmeLogging=true
[acme.dnsChallenge]
  provider = "duckdns"
  delayBeforeCheck = 0
[[acme.domains]]
  main = "*.yourdomain.duckdns.org"
  sans = ["yourdomain.duckdns.org"]

Hello, @fletch8527 did you find a solution? I am in the same situation as you :confused:

Yea, I solved me issue by getting a SmartThings hub instead lol. I was using HA so that I could get Google Assistant integration. I later found that I would need to restart the Google App monthly to keep the integration (I didnt pay the subscription for HA) and that was enough to push me to get something that supported the integration without a monthly fee.

Sorry I couldnt be any more help

Anyway you have take time to answer me :+1:t3: I’ll share my result of I succeed

I tested a traefik / homeassistant / portainer setup with the following setting:

traefik.toml:

debug = false

logLevel = "INFO"
defaultEntryPoints = ["https","http"]

[entryPoints]
  [entryPoints.http]
  address = ":80"
    [entryPoints.http.redirect]
    entryPoint = "https"
  [entryPoints.https]
  address = ":443"
  [entryPoints.https.tls]
  [entryPoints.traefik]
  address = ":8080"

[retry]

[api]
debug = true

[docker]
endpoint = "unix:///var/run/docker.sock"
domain = "yourdomain.de"
watch = true
exposedByDefault = false

[acme]
email = "[email protected]"
storage = "acme.json"
entryPoint = "https"
onHostRule = true
[acme.httpChallenge]
entryPoint = "http"

docker-compose.yml for traefik:

version: '2'

services:
  traefik:
    image: traefik:latest
    command: --api --docker
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 80:80
      - 443:443
      - 8080:8080
    networks:
      - web
    volumes:

      - /var/opt/traefik/traefik.toml:/traefik.toml
      - /var/opt/traefik/acme.json:/acme.json

      - /var/opt/portainer:/data
    labels:
      - "traefik.backend=portainer"
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.frontend.rule=Host:yourdomain.de" # URL entsprechend anpassen!
      - "traefik.port=9000"
      - "traefik.docker.network=web"


networks:
  web:
    external: true

and last but not least the docker-compose.yml for homeassistant:

version: '2'
services:
  homeassistant:
    container_name: home-assistant
    image: homeassistant/home-assistant:stable
    volumes:
      - /var/opt/homeassistant/config:/config
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Berlin
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 8123:8123
    networks:
      - web
    labels:
      - "traefik.backend=homeassistant"
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.frontend.rule=Host:subdomain.yourdomain.de" # URL entsprechend anpassen!
      - "traefik.port=8123"
      - "traefik.docker.network=web"

networks:
  web:
    external: true

This worked fine for me and will go live soon (right now I am still on NGINX, but I find traefik way more easy). I don’t use duckdns, I have my own domain (from Strato).

Here is my config - based on Traefik 2.x with DuckDNS and LetsEncrypt.

  reverse-proxy:

    container_name: reverse_proxy
    image: traefik:latest

  homeassistant:

Just curious… Why are you giving hass access to your docker socket?

This works also for me, but I have added a fixed IP address to both containers in order to use the ip-ban-list from HA. Here is my code:
