Traefik requires access to the docker socket to get its dynamic configuration,
by watching the Docker API through this socket.
!!! important
Depending on your context and your usage, accessing the Docker API without any restriction might be a security concern.
As explained on the Docker documentation: ([Docker Daemon Attack Surface page](https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/security/#docker-daemon-attack-surface)):
`[...] only **trusted** users should be allowed to control your Docker daemon [...]`
If the Traefik processes (handling requests from the outside world) is attacked,
then the attacker can access the Docker (or Swarm Mode) backend.
Also, when using Swarm Mode, it is mandatory to schedule Traefik's containers on the Swarm manager nodes,
to let Traefik accessing the Docker Socket of the Swarm manager node.

### Security Compensation
The main security compensation is to expose the Docker socket over TCP, instead of the default Unix socket file.
It allows different implementation levels of the [AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) concepts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AAA_(computer_security)), depending on your security assessment:
- Authentication with Client Certificates as described in [the "Protect the Docker daemon socket" page of Docker's documentation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/https/)
- Authorization with the [Docker Authorization Plugin Mechanism](https://docs.docker.com/engine/extend/plugins_authorization/)
- Accounting at networking level, by exposing the socket only inside a Docker private network, only available for Traefik.
- Accounting at container level, by exposing the socket on a another container than Traefik's.
With Swarm mode, it allows scheduling of Traefik on worker nodes, with only the "socket exposer" container on the manager nodes.
- Accounting at kernel level, by enforcing kernel calls with mechanisms like [SELinux](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security-Enhanced_Linux),
to only allows an identified set of actions for Traefik's process (or the "socket exposer" process).

If a label is defined both as a `container label` and a `segment label` (for example `traefik.<segment_name>.port=PORT` and `traefik.port=PORT` ), the `segment label` is used to defined the `<segment_name>` property (`port` in the example).
It's possible to mix `container labels` and `segment labels`, in this case `container labels` are used as default value for missing `segment labels` but no frontends are going to be created with the `container labels`.
When used in conjunction with the `traefik.port` label (that tells Traefik to route requests to a specific port), Traefik tries to find a binding with `traefik.port` port to select the container. If it can't find such a binding, Traefik falls back on the internal network IP of the container, but still uses the `traefik.port` that is set in the label.
In the above table, ExtIp stands for "external IP found in the binding", IntIp stands for "internal network container's IP", ExtPort stands for "external Port found in the binding", and IntPort stands for "internal network container's port."
