msgid "By default, this playbook installs and manages a [Traefik](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/) reverse-proxy server, powered by the [ansible-role-traefik](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-traefik) Ansible role."
msgid "This will enable a Traefik [Dashboard](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/operations/dashboard/) UI at `https://matrix.example.com/dashboard/` (note the trailing `/`)."
msgid "**WARNING**: Enabling the dashboard on a hostname you use for something else (like `matrix_server_fqn_matrix` in the configuration above) may cause conflicts. Enabling the Traefik Dashboard makes Traefik capture all `/dashboard` and `/api` requests and forward them to itself. If any of the services hosted on the same hostname requires any of these 2 URL prefixes, you will experience problems. So far, we're not aware of any playbook services which occupy these endpoints and are likely to cause conflicts."
msgid "Use the `traefik_configuration_extension_yaml` variable provided by the Traefik Ansible role to override or inject additional settings, even when no dedicated variable exists."
msgid "The preferred way to reverse-proxy additional services behind Traefik would be to start the service as another container, configure the container with the corresponding Traefik [container labels](https://docs.docker.com/config/labels-custom-metadata/) (see [Traefik & Docker](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/routing/providers/docker/)), and connect the service to the `traefik` network. Some services are also already available via the compatible [mash-playbook](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/mash-playbook), but take a look at the minor [interoperability adjustments](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/mash-playbook/blob/main/docs/interoperability.md)."
msgid "However, if your service does not run on a container or runs on another machine, the following configuration might be what you are looking for."
msgid "If you want to host another webserver would be reachable via `my-fancy-website.example.net` from the internet and via `https://<internal webserver IP address>:<internal port>` from inside your network, you can make the playbook's integrated Traefik instance reverse-proxy the traffic to the correct host."
msgid "Prerequisites: DNS and routing for the domain `my-fancy-website.example.net` need to be set up correctly. In this case, you'd be pointing the domain name to your Matrix server - `my-fancy-website.example.net` would be a CNAME going to `matrix.example.com`."
msgid "If you are using a self-signed certificate on your webserver, you can tell Traefik to trust your own backend servers by adding more configuration to the static configuration file. If you do so, bear in mind the security implications of disabling the certificate validity checks towards your back end."
msgid "Next, you have to add a new dynamic configuration file for Traefik that contains the actual information of the server using the `aux_file_definitions` variable. In this example, we will terminate SSL at the Traefik instance and connect to the other server via HTTPS. Traefik will now take care of managing the certificates."
msgid "If you do not want to terminate SSL at the Traefik instance (for example, because you're already terminating SSL at other webserver), you need to adjust the static configuration in the same way as in the previous chapter in order to be able to add our own dynamic configuration files. Afterwards, you can add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` configuration file:"
msgid "**WARNING**: This configuration might lead to problems or need additional steps when a [certbot](https://certbot.eff.org/) behind Traefik also tries to manage [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) certificates, as Traefik captures all traffic to ```PathPrefix(`/.well-known/acme-challenge/`)```."
