services:
  frontend:
    image: traefik:2.2
    command: --providers.docker --entrypoints.web.address=:80 --providers.docker.exposedbydefault=false
    ports:
      # The HTTP port
      - "80:80"
    volumes:
      # So that Traefik can listen to the Docker events
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
    depends_on:
      - backend
  backend:
    build: backend
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.http.routers.go.rule=Path(`/`)"
      - "traefik.http.services.go.loadbalancer.server.port=80"

The compose file defines an application with two services frontend and backend. When deploying the application, docker compose maps port 80 of the frontend service container to the same port of the host as specified in the file. Make sure port 80 on the host is not already being in use.

Deploy with docker compose

$ docker compose up -d

Expected result

Listing containers must show two containers running and the port mapping as below:

$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                    COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS

After the application starts, navigate to http://localhost:80 in your web browser or run:

$ curl localhost:80
