The MaxMind updater didn’t work for me, so I did some digging and found that they have their own updater, even as a docker container. Using this instead of the script from the guide worked for me: ```auto geoipupdate: container_name: geoipupdate image: ghcr.io/maxmind/geoipupdate restart: unless-stopped volumes: - ./config/maxmind:/usr/share/GeoIP environment: - GEOIPUPDATE_ACCOUNT_ID=YOUR_ID_HERE - GEOIPUPDATE_LICENSE_KEY=YOUR_KEY_HERE - GEOIPUPDATE_EDITION_IDS=GeoLite2-ASN GeoLite2-City GeoLite2-Country - GEOIPUPDATE_FREQUENCY=72 ``` This also has the bonus of updating automatically (every 3 days in my example) ---

Top Requested Routers / Addresses / Hosts are empty for me though. My trafing\_config.yml is pretty much the default for a new Pangolin installation. I’m wondering if I need to change something in my `access_log` entry to see them in the dashboard: ```auto accessLog: bufferingSize: 100 fields: defaultMode: drop headers: defaultMode: drop names: Authorization: redact Content-Type: keep Cookie: redact User-Agent: keep X-Forwarded-For: keep X-Forwarded-Proto: keep X-Real-Ip: keep names: ClientAddr: keep ClientHost: keep DownstreamContentSize: keep DownstreamStatus: keep Duration: keep RequestMethod: keep RequestPath: keep RequestProtocol: keep RetryAttempts: keep ServiceName: keep StartUTC: keep TLSCipher: keep TLSVersion: keep filePath: /var/log/traefik/access.log filters: minDuration: 100ms retryAttempts: true statusCodes: - 200-299 - 400-499 - 500-599 format: json ``` ---

start with basic and then expand ```auto # ./config/traefik/traefik_config.yml log: level: INFO filePath: "/var/log/traefik/traefik.log" accessLog: filePath: "/var/log/traefik/access.log" format: json # <-- Essential for dashboard parsing fields: defaultMode: keep headers: defaultMode: keep names: User-Agent: keep Authorization: drop ``` ---

Figured as much. I’m not sure about the performance impact, so for now I’ll just leave it at keeping everything. I’ve looked at the code and was able to find the place where Logs are parsed, so I could just use that if I need to reduce the amount of stuff that’s being written into the logs if needed in the future ---

You can use Pangolin SSO. ---

First of all: Amazing project. Works perfectly. I was able to setup the Log Dashboard but the Client IP is always the cloudflared internal container because I use Zero-Trust Network-Tunnel. Is there any way to use the official CF-Connecting-IP Header provided by Cloudflare? ---

I found a plugin for this: [GitHub - PseudoResonance/cloudflarewarp](https://github.com/PseudoResonance/cloudflarewarp) This should solve the issue. It needs to be in the first middleware place. This plugin overwrites X-Real-IP and X-Forwarded-For headers with CF-Connecting-IP. Would be great if this is Plugin Hub. ---

Never mind, this solves nothing, since Traefik logs before applying the request to the middleware. However, you can set X-Real-IP and X-Forwarded-For to the Client IP with a Transformer Rule in Cloudflare. This sets the Client Host to the correct IP but the Log Dashboard only cares about the Client IP. It would require an option to use Client Host instead of Client IP. ---

Hi, I’ve updated to version 2 and it’s working correctly. I have two questions: 1 - Is there a way to set a dark theme? 2 - When I open the URL [https://dashlog.mydomain.tld](https://dashlog.mydomain.tld), I always have to click the “View Dashboard” button, which takes me to the URL [https://dashlog.mydomain.tld/dashboard](https://dashlog.mydomain.tld/dashboard). My question is, is there a way to go directly to the Dashboard? Thank you very much and great work. ---
