traefik CLAUDE.md

traefik CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from freyr/traefik. It costs 559 tokens per session, scanned B, original, MIT.

A project instruction file for Traefik, a reverse proxy that routes web traffic to local services and provides HTTPS. It documents setup, service exposure rules, certificate handling, and daily commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting, stopping, creating, or removing the Traefik setup; exposing Docker services; copying certificates; and configuring or testing automatic renewal.
Why use it?
It gives agents the exact operational rules needed to manage local routing safely, including which services may be exposed and which certificate file and permissions are required.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

traefik CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Traefik

Local development reverse proxy routing HTTPS for *.example.dev via loopback alias 172.16.123.1.

Critical Rules

  • TFK001: First-time setup requires sudo make create — installs loopback alias LaunchDaemon on macOS.
  • TFK002: Services must opt in with traefik.enable=true label — exposedByDefault is false.
  • TFK003: SSL key must have 644 permissions — Docker container needs read access.
  • TFK004: Use fullchain.pem (not cert.pem) — includes intermediate certificates.

Quick Start

# One-time setup (requires sudo on macOS)
sudo make create           # Loopback alias + network + start Traefik

# Daily operations
make start                 # Start Traefik
make stop                  # Stop Traefik
make destroy               # Remove everything
make                       # Show help

Certificate Management

make setup-certs           # Copy Let's Encrypt certs to Traefik
make install-renew-hook    # Post-renewal hook
make setup-auto-renewal    # Automatic renewal (macOS LaunchDaemon)
make test-renewal          # Dry-run renewal test

Service Discovery

Add these Docker labels to expose a service:

labels:
  traefik.enable: true
  traefik.http.routers.<service>.tls: true
  traefik.http.routers.<service>.entrypoints: websecure
  traefik.http.routers.<service>.rule: "Host(`subdomain.example.dev`)"

Architecture

  • Traffic flow: Client → 172.16.123.1:443 → Traefik → containers on local Docker network
  • Static config: traefik.toml (entrypoints, providers)
  • TLS config: configs/certs.toml + ssl/ directory
  • Auto HTTP→HTTPS redirect; dashboard at https://traefik.example.dev
  • Platform setup: macOS (LaunchDaemon), Linux (systemd), Windows (manual)

References

Boundaries

NEVER:

  • Commit SSL private keys to git
  • Modify loopback alias config without testing connectivity afterward

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
