Hey folks

I'm also having issues.

I added:

extra_hosts:

• "host.docker.internal:host-gateway"

To the traefik compose file to avoid magic ips even though it returns the 172.17.0.1

I have the:
expose:
- 8123
to HA compose file

Also have the trusted_proxies pointing to the subnet of my custom traefik proxy network

But I'm stuck on this page

with a traefik log 504 Gateway Timeout error="dial tcp 172.17.0.1:8123: i/o timeout"

Any tips anyone?

504 Gateway Time Out usually means that Traefik cannot reach the backend. Are you sure Traefik and HA are on the same network?

Hey @xZero707 thanks for helping out. Nope, traefik is on it's own network

Traefik container file is using:
networks:
traefik-proxy:
name: traefik-proxy
driver: bridge
ipam:
config:
- subnet: 172.18.0.0/16

With the
extra_hosts:
- host.docker.internal:host-gateway

HA is network_mode: host

What I found weird is that traefik is recognizing the labels in HA, it's pointing to the right URL, it's displaying the HA can't connect but I receive different errors.

On the console log I get the one above (504 Gateway Timeout error="dial tcp 172.17.0.1:8123: i/o timeout"), on the browser I get:

HA is network_mode: host

I also ran into this issue when I set up HA, although I don't quite remember what I did to resolve it. What does your HA config look like? Here's mine:

configuration.yaml

# Loads default set of integrations. Do not remove.
default_config:

# Load frontend themes from the themes folder
frontend:
  themes: !include_dir_merge_named themes

automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
scene: !include scenes.yaml

homeassistant:
  external_url: "https://ha.domain.com"
  internal_url: "http://serverip:8123"

http:
  use_x_forwarded_for: true
  trusted_proxies:
    - 10.0.4.2

The important parts being external_url and internal_url as well as the http section. I think what I did to get it to work was hardcode the traefik container's IP under trusted_proxies. This was an issue, as described above, which I found a workaround for.

I also remember having an issue with getting traefik pointed to the right IP address using labels, but I think this was an unrelated issue, but I'll include below in case it's related:

For HA, which I have running in host mode, I have it configured via a config file, config.yaml, which is in the same directory as traefik.yaml. Note that you would need to include this file as a provider in your traefik.yaml. All of my other containers are configured via labels, and I remember this being significant at the time, but I don't remember if it was the fix to this specific issue or not. Here is how mine is configured:

traefik.yaml

providers:
  file:
    directory: /etc/traefik
    watch: true

config.yaml

http:
  routers:
    homeassistant:
      entryPoints:
        - web
        - websecure
      rule: "Host(`ha.domain.com`)"
      service: homeassistant
      tls: {}
  services:
    homeassistant:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
          - url: "http://serverip:8123"
