With this, nginx would still be in use, but it would not bother with anything SSL related or with taking up public ports.

### Sample configuration for running behind Traefik 2.0
Below is a sample configuration for using this playbook with a [Traefik](https://traefik.io/) 2.0 reverse proxy.
To run behind Traefik, you can:
- use a [Playbook-managed Traefik installation](#playbook-managed-traefik-installation)
- or, use [Your own Traefik server (not managed by the playbook)](#your-own-traefik-server-not-managed-by-the-playbook)
#### Playbook-managed Traefik installation
The playbook can install and manage Traefik for you using the [com.devture.ansible.role.traefik](https://github.com/devture/com.devture.ansible.role.traefik) role.
It's simplest if you go with this method. You will need the following configuration:
```yaml
# Disable generation and retrieval of SSL certs
matrix_ssl_retrieval_method: none
matrix_playbook_reverse_proxy_type: playbook-managed-traefik
# Configure Nginx to only use plain HTTP
matrix_nginx_proxy_https_enabled: false
# Don't bind any HTTP or federation port to the host
# (Traefik will proxy directly into the containers)
matrix_nginx_proxy_container_http_host_bind_port: ''
matrix_nginx_proxy_container_federation_host_bind_port: ''
# Trust the reverse proxy to send the correct `X-Forwarded-Proto` header as it is handling the SSL connection.
matrix_nginx_proxy_trust_forwarded_proto: true
# Trust and use the other reverse proxy's `X-Forwarded-For` header.
matrix_nginx_proxy_x_forwarded_for: '$proxy_add_x_forwarded_for'
# Disable Coturn because it needs SSL certs
# (Clients can, though exposing IP address, use Matrix.org TURN)
matrix_coturn_enabled: false
# All containers need to be on the same Docker network as Traefik
# (This network should already exist and Traefik should be using this network)
matrix_docker_network: 'traefik'
matrix_nginx_proxy_container_extra_arguments:
# May be unnecessary depending on Traefik config, but can't hurt
- '--label "traefik.enable=true"'
# The Nginx proxy container will receive traffic from these subdomains
- '--label "traefik.http.routers.matrix-nginx-proxy.rule=Host(`{{ matrix_server_fqn_matrix }}`,`{{ matrix_server_fqn_element }}`,`{{ matrix_server_fqn_dimension }}`,`{{ matrix_server_fqn_jitsi }}`)"'
# (The 'web-secure' entrypoint must bind to port 443 in Traefik config)
- '--label "traefik.http.routers.matrix-nginx-proxy.entrypoints=web-secure"'
# (The 'default' certificate resolver must be defined in Traefik config)
- '--label "traefik.http.routers.matrix-nginx-proxy.tls.certResolver=default"'
# Traefik requires that we declare which service this router is using
- '--label "traefik.http.routers.matrix-nginx-proxy.service=matrix-nginx-proxy"'
# The Nginx proxy container uses port 8080 internally
- '--label "traefik.http.services.matrix-nginx-proxy.loadbalancer.server.port=8080"'
# Federation
- '--label "traefik.http.routers.matrix-nginx-proxy-federation.rule=Host(`{{ matrix_server_fqn_matrix }}`)"'
# (The 'federation' entrypoint must bind to port 8448 in Traefik config)

# Traefik requires that we declare which service this router is using

# The Nginx proxy container uses port `matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_federation_port (8448) internally
- '--label "traefik.http.services.matrix-nginx-proxy-federation.loadbalancer.server.port={{ matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_federation_port }}"'
- '--label "traefik.http.services.matrix-nginx-proxy-federation.loadbalancer.server.scheme={{ "https" if matrix_nginx_proxy_https_enabled else "http" }}"'
devture_traefik_ssl_email_address: YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS
```
This method uses labels attached to the Nginx and Synapse containers to provide the Traefik Docker provider with the information it needs to proxy `matrix.DOMAIN`, `element.DOMAIN`, `dimension.DOMAIN` and `jitsi.DOMAIN`. Some [static configuration](https://docs.traefik.io/v2.0/reference/static-configuration/file/) is required in Traefik; namely, having endpoints on ports 443 and 8448 and having a certificate resolver.
#### Your own Traefik server (not managed by the playbook)
If you'd like to run Traefik yourself, you can use configuration like this:
```yaml
matrix_playbook_reverse_proxy_type: other-traefik-container
matrix_playbook_reverse_proxyable_services_additional_network: your-traefik-network
```
In this mode all roles will still have Traefik labels attached. You will, however, need to configure your Traefik instance and its entrypoints.
By default, the playbook congiures services use a `web-secure` (443) and `matrix-federation` (8448) entrypoints, as well as a `default` certificate resolver.
Below is some configuration for running Traefik yourself (although we recommend using a [playbook-managed Traefik installation](#playbook-managed-traefik-installation)).
Note that this configuration on its own does **not** redirect traffic on port 80 (plain HTTP) to port 443 for HTTPS, which may cause some issues, since the built-in Nginx proxy usually does this. If you are not already doing this in Traefik, it can be added to Traefik in a [file provider](https://docs.traefik.io/v2.0/providers/file/) as follows:
