## Remote Configuration - **Use if Traefik is on a different server**

### **Labels are ignored in this scenerio** 

### Use a remote host yml file on the Traefik server instead. 

1. Copy remote-backrest.yml to Traefik's dynamic folder

2. Or Paste the contents of remote-backrest.yml into an existing remote host yml file.


## Remote Host yml files must use this format:

```yaml 
http:
  routers:
    # Each service gets a route definition here

  services:
    # Each service gets a service definition here
```

**To copy an example remote host yml file into an existing remote host yml file**  

1. Copy the contents of the routers section into the existing routers section  
Be sure to change the `rule: "Host ('service.server.subdomain.duckdns.org')"` line to your desired url for the service  

2. And Copy the content of the services section into the existing services section  
Be sure to change the ip:port in `- url: "http://ip:port"`  
Use http here, not https
