## Security Considerations
### Security Challenge with the Docker Socket
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.
More information about Docker's security:

- [Don't expose the Docker socket (not even to a container)](https://www.lvh.io/posts/dont-expose-the-docker-socket-not-even-to-a-container.html)

- [To Dind or not to DinD](https://blog.loof.fr/2018/01/to-dind-or-not-do-dind.html)
### 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).
Use the following ressources to get started:

## Labels: overriding default behavior
### Using Docker with Swarm Mode
If you use a compose file with the Swarm mode, labels should be defined in the `deploy` part of your service.
This behavior is only enabled for docker-compose version 3+ ([Compose file reference](https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/#labels-1)).
```yaml
version: "3"
services:
whoami:
deploy:
labels:
traefik.docker.network: traefik
```
### Using Docker Compose
If you are intending to use only Docker Compose commands (e.g. `docker-compose up --scale whoami=2 -d`), labels should be under your service, otherwise they will be ignored.
```yaml
version: "3"
services:
whoami:
labels:
traefik.docker.network: traefik
```

| `traefik.frontend.whiteList.ipStrategy.excludedIPs=127.0.0.1` | See [whitelist](/configuration/entrypoints/#white-listing) |
[1] `traefik.docker.network`:
If a container is linked to several networks, be sure to set the proper network name (you can check with `docker inspect `) otherwise it will randomly pick one (depending on how docker is returning them).
For instance when deploying docker `stack` from compose files, the compose defined networks will be prefixed with the `stack` name.
Or if your service references external network use it's name instead.
[2] `traefik.frontend.auth.basic.users=EXPR`:
To create `user:password` pair, it's possible to use this command:
`echo $(htpasswd -nb user password) | sed -e s/\\$/\\$\\$/g`.
The result will be `user:$$apr1$$9Cv/OMGj$$ZomWQzuQbL.3TRCS81A1g/`, note additional symbol `$` makes escaping.
[3] `traefik.backend.loadbalancer.swarm`:
If you enable this option, Traefik will use the virtual IP provided by docker swarm instead of the containers IPs.
Which means that Traefik will not perform any kind of load balancing and will delegate this task to swarm.
It also means that Traefik will manipulate only one backend, not one backend per container.
#### Custom Headers
| Label | Description |
|-------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `traefik.frontend.headers.customRequestHeaders=EXPR` | Provides the container with custom request headers that will be appended to each request forwarded to the container.
Format: HEADER:value||HEADER2:value2 |
| `traefik.frontend.headers.customResponseHeaders=EXPR` | Appends the headers to each response returned by the container, before forwarding the response to the client.

| `traefik.frontend.headers.SSLForceHost=true` | If `SSLForceHost` is `true` and `SSLHost` is set, requests will be forced to use `SSLHost` even the ones that are already using SSL. Default is false. |
| `traefik.frontend.headers.SSLProxyHeaders=EXPR` | Header combinations that would signify a proper SSL Request (Such as `X-Forwarded-For:https`).

### On containers with Multiple Ports (segment labels)
Segment labels are used to define routes to a container exposing multiple ports.
A segment is a group of labels that apply to a port exposed by a container.
You can define as many segments as ports exposed in a container.
Segment labels override the default behavior.

!!! note
If a label is defined both as a `container label` and a `segment label` (for example `traefik..port=PORT` and `traefik.port=PORT` ), the `segment label` is used to defined the `` 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`.
More details in this [example](/user-guide/docker-and-lets-encrypt/#labels).
!!! warning
When running inside a container, Traefik will need network access through:
`docker network connect `
## usebindportip
The default behavior of Traefik is to route requests to the IP/Port of the matching container.
When setting `usebindportip` to true, you tell Traefik to use the IP/Port attached to the container's binding instead of the inner network IP/Port.
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.
Below is a recap of the behavior of `usebindportip` in different situations.
| traefik.port label | Container's binding | Routes to |
|--------------------|----------------------------------------------------|----------------|
| - | - | IntIP:IntPort |
| - | ExtPort:IntPort | IntIP:IntPort |
| - | ExtIp:ExtPort:IntPort | ExtIp:ExtPort |
| LblPort | - | IntIp:LblPort |
| LblPort | ExtIp:ExtPort:LblPort | ExtIp:ExtPort |
| LblPort | ExtIp:ExtPort:OtherPort | IntIp:LblPort |
| LblPort | ExtIp1:ExtPort1:IntPort1 & ExtIp2:LblPort:IntPort2 | ExtIp2:LblPort |
!!! note
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."
