Issues configuring HA (in host mode) behind a traefik reverse proxy

Hi, I’m running Home Assistant in Docker, and hoping to put it behind a Docker traefik reverse proxy.

I’m having issues due to (I assume) HA operating in host network mode, and not on the traefik network. When visiting hass.example.com, I get a gateway timeout.

My traefik setup in Docker is based on this amazing guide.

My HA configuration (below) was built based on this discussion.

Something that may be relevant - I added this line to my traefik configuration:

extra_hosts:
   - host.docker.internal:172.17.0.1

but I noticed in Portainer that 172.17.0.1 actually refers to a system bridge network - but the system host network does not have a gateway address…

Other info: I also tried to add a dynamic router via .toml file, as per this guide, but couldn’t get it working.

Would appreciate any help - thanks in advance!

docker-compose.yml
