Custom Traefik Configuration guide







In this guide, we will focus on creating a custom configuration file for Traefik on Easypanel. Follow the steps below to create the `custom.yaml` file.

## Step 1 - Creating the "custom.yaml" File [#step-1---creating-the-customyaml-file]

1. Open your terminal or command prompt.
2. Navigate to the traefik config directory.

```
cd /etc/easypanel/traefik/config/
```

3. Use your preferred text editor to create a new file named `custom.yaml` in that directory. For example:

```
sudo nano /etc/easypanel/traefik/config/custom.yaml
```

This command will open the `custom.yaml` file in the nano text editor. If you prefer to use a different text editor like vim or emacs, replace `nano` with your preferred editor.

4. Begin configuring your custom Traefik settings in the `custom.yaml` file. You can refer to the [Traefik documentation](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/routing/overview/) for more details on available configuration options.

5. Save the file and exit the text editor.
