Traefik Integration with Next.js App

Overview

This repository serves as a guide and configuration setup for integrating Traefik with a Next.js application WITHOUT docker. The goal is to implement Traefik as a reverse proxy and load balancer, providing a customized host, such as "nextjs.localhost." Additionally, the setup includes TLS integration for secure HTTPS access, utilizing a certificate generated by mkcert.

Prerequisites

Before getting started, ensure you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:

• Traefik
• Mkcert

Getting Started

Follow these steps to integrate Traefik with your Next.js app:

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Clement-Muth/nextjs-traefik.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd nextjs-traefik

3. Generate SSL certificates using mkcert:

   mkcert -uninstall
        sudo rm -rf /etc/ssl/certs/mkcert*
        mkdir -p certs/root
        mkcert -cert-file certs/cert.pem -key-file certs/key.pem "nextjs.localhost"
        mkcert -install

4. Update Traefik configuration in the traefik/dynamic.yaml file as needed.

5. Run traefik:

   traefik --configFile=traefik/traefik.yaml

6. Access the Next.js app using the configured host:

   https://nextjs.localhost
