Getting started with Traefik 2 can be a handful (…even if you are migrating from v1). It’s high configurability, an element that makes Traefik a truly powerful reverse proxy, also makes comparability across setup guides difficult. And since no two systems are seldom alike, multiple guides often need referencing to complete a setup. The process is supposed to be easy, it’s certainly billed as such….
I have two QNAP NAS’s running a variety services in Docker. Container Station is QNAP’s implementation of Docker and having it installed on both machines has really expanded what I can do with these devices. Thumbs up to that, but I do have a few tips beyond Container Station that will help you run your containers more efficiently (…at least, this is what works for me).
Ok, so this first item is more like a soft tip… You may already know Container Station creates a shared folder named “Container” when it is installed. Inside this folder is another folder with special permissions that contains all the data files for Container Station to run + any container images. Because of this, I’ve found it easier just to keep my persistent data separated from this folder (I use /share/docker/). This seems to avoid any potential permission conflicts and makes backup configuration a little easier. YMMV.
