Traefik Command Line Documentation	The HTTP chain middleware lets you define reusable combinations of other middleware, to reuse the same groups. Read the technical documentation.

Chain

When One Isn't Enough {: .subtitle }

The Chain middleware enables you to define reusable combinations of other pieces of middleware. It makes reusing the same groups easier.

Configuration Example

Below is an example of a Chain containing AllowList, BasicAuth, and RedirectScheme.
