+# Setting Up Coolify Deployment Behind an Existing Traefik Proxy
+
+This guide explains how to configure your existing Traefik instance (running at `192.168.88.10`) to proxy traffic to a Coolify-deployed jobs-app service running on `192.168.88.13:8001`.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Traefik is running and accessible at `192.168.88.10`
+- Your external IP is configured to point to Traefik for domain resolution
+- The jobs-app is deployed via Coolify and running on `192.168.88.13:8001`
+- You have access to Traefik's configuration files (assuming file-based provider)
+
+## Step 1: Verify Jobs-App Accessibility
+
+Ensure the jobs-app is running and accessible:
+
+```bash
+curl http://192.168.88.13:8001
+```
+
+You should receive a response from the Flask application.
+
+## Step 2: Configure Traefik
+
+Since Traefik is on a separate machine (`192.168.88.10`) and cannot directly watch the Docker containers on `192.168.88.13`, you'll need to manually configure the routing in Traefik's configuration.
+
+### Option 1: Using Traefik's File Provider
+
+Add the following configuration to your Traefik dynamic configuration file (e.g., `dynamic.yml`):
+
+```yaml
+http:
+  routers:
+    jobs-app:
+      rule: "Host(`your-domain.com`)" # Replace with your actual domain
+      service: jobs-app
+      entryPoints:
+        - https # Assuming Traefik handles SSL termination
+      middlewares:
+        - https-redirect # Optional: redirect HTTP to HTTPS
+
+  services:
+    jobs-app:
+      loadBalancer:
+        servers:
+          - url: "http://192.168.88.13:8001"
+
+  middlewares:
+    https-redirect:
+      redirectScheme:
+        scheme: https
+        permanent: true
+```
+
+### Option 2: Using Docker Labels (if Traefik can access the Docker socket)
+
+If Traefik has access to the Docker socket on `192.168.88.13` (e.g., via network mount or API), the Docker labels in `docker-compose.yml` will automatically configure the routing. No additional configuration is needed.
+
+## Step 3: Reload Traefik Configuration
+
+After updating the configuration, reload Traefik:
+
+```bash
+# If using Docker
+docker-compose restart traefik
+
+# Or if running directly
+systemctl reload traefik
+```
+
+## Step 4: Test the Setup
+
+1. Ensure your DNS points `your-domain.com` to your external IP, which routes to Traefik.
+2. Visit `https://your-domain.com` in your browser.
+3. Traefik should proxy the request to `http://192.168.88.13:8001` and serve the jobs-app.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **Port not accessible**: Ensure firewall rules allow traffic from `192.168.88.10` to `192.168.88.13:8001`.
+- **SSL issues**: If Traefik is not terminating SSL, adjust the `entryPoints` and remove HTTPS redirects.
+- **Routing not working**: Check Traefik logs for errors in router/service configuration.
+- **Domain mismatch**: Verify the `Host` rule matches your actual domain.
+
+## Notes
+
+- The jobs-app runs on port 8000 internally in the container, exposed on host port 8001.
+- If you need to change the external port, update the `ports` mapping in `docker-compose.yml` and the Traefik service URL accordingly.
+- For production, consider adding authentication, rate limiting, or other middlewares in Traefik.
