+**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.

 ## Additional configuration
 
 Use the `devture_traefik_configuration_extension_yaml` variable provided by the Traefik Ansible role to override or inject additional settings, even when no dedicated variable exists.
