Traefik reverse proxy with Podman
Introduction
If you are running many containers with Podman and want to have HTTPS connection to every one it can be tedious to manually obtain SSL certificate for every service. A simpler solution is to run a reverse proxy in front of your containers and configure it to handle the certificates. Traefik is a popular choice for a reverse proxy. In this post I will show how to set up a configuration where Traefik runs in a container and acts as reverse proxy to other containers running on the same machine, and all managed with Podman.
OS used: Debian 12
