it could also be run by a standard user with these 2 under [Service] |
|
@alemairebe I thought about adding that too, but then again it requires setting up a user for traefik and assigning appropriate permissions to Maybe we can add that as a comment to the service file? |
|
@jacksgt I guess that would be a good first step :-) |

I added brief comment for all new parameters (for more in-depth information the systemd man page should be consulted). |

Since Traefik is directly connected to the internet, it makes sense to apply various lock down measures to keep the system as safe as possible. Includes mounting most of the directories as read-only or even making them inaccessible, restricting kernel modifications and limiting the number of processes the unit may spawn. Also add checks at service startup to ensure all required files are present. Additionally documents how to set up a separate user for traefik and run the service as that user.
