Traefik is not loading my config file at all

Question

As the title says my traefik container is not loading my config file. I have a folder with my docker-compose.yml and my traefik.yml. According to the traefik documentation traefik will automatically search for a file with this name in the working directory but it does not load it.

My docker-compose.yml:

version: '3.3'

services: 
  traefik:
  image: traefik
  ports:
    - 8080:8080
    - 80:80
    - 443:443

and my traefik.yml:

api:
  dashboard: true
  insecure: true

entryPoints:
  web:
    address: ":80"
  websecure:
    address: ":443"

I expect that the dashboard is avalible under localhost:8080 and that it shows my entrypoints.

I hope that you can help me. Thank you.

Ok so after looking at some other examples it seems that you can mount your config files to the container using volumes and it will work absolutely fine.

Please have a look at the configuration below docker-compose.yml:

version: '3.3'

services: 
  traefik:
    image: traefik
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
      - 80:80
      - 443:443
    volumes:
      - ./traefik.yaml:/etc/traefik/traefik.yaml
