Feature Request - Docker Auto Discovery

[LDShadowLord]

Hi,
I've been using Traefik standalone for some time, and really like what you guys are offering.
One feature that I use a lot, that I don't see reflected, is Traefik's Auto-Discovery of containers using the Docker Provider. I use this in conjunction with tiredofit's "cloudflare companion" container to do end-to-end automation of exposing labelled containers.
Is there any chance of such a feature entering the roadmap?
Exposing the Docker Socket might be difficult, but is possible over TCP so could possibly be done over a tunnel., Alternatively, the Newt container could have that link in it, or another container entirely.

You can utilize the same Traefik instance Pangolin uses to use docker labels as a provider to Traefik, but only on the same network as Pangolin, which I don't think is the same as what you're describing. You'd need to edit the Traefik config we provide and setup a new provider using the docker socket.

We received some requests recently to add a feature to point a resource to a reverse proxy running on the remote network (like Cloudflare), and I think we are planning on pursuing this sometime after leaving beta. I think this would be what you're after? You could point a wildcard resource to your local Traefik instance, or something along those lines.
