Previously, I was using nginx where a codesample like this would work fine:

http://api:80/whatever

however recently i have switched to traefik, and now im having issues

name: steal

services:
  api:
    build: ./Docker/steal/api
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.http.routers.api.rule=Host(`localhost`)"
      - "traefik.http.services.api.loadbalancer.server.port=8080"
    depends_on:
      mongo:
        condition: service_healthy
    restart: always
    healthcheck:
      test: [ "CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://api:8080/status" ]
      interval: 10s
      timeout: 15s
      retries: 3
      start_period: 10s

  discord:
    build: ./Docker/steal/discord
    depends_on:
      traefik:
        condition: service_healthy

  traefik:
    image: traefik:latest
    container_name: traefik
    command:
      - /bin/sh
      - -c
      - |
        apk add --no-cache curl &&
        traefik --api.insecure=true --providers.docker=true --entrypoints.web.address=:80 --providers.docker.exposedbydefault=false
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "8080:8080"
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
    restart: always
    healthcheck:
      test: [ "CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://traefik:8080/api/rawdata" ]
      interval: 10s
      timeout: 15s
      retries: 3
      start_period: 10s

I have tried http://api:80, http://localhost:80, http://localhost, etc and still haven’t been able to connect. The message i receive is ” All connection attempts failed”

Any idea how I can fix this? I know its probably some small traefik setting I am overlooking, but any help is appreciated
