If you’re developing with Sitecore on Docker and need to bind some custom domains to your CM/CD instances in Traefik, here’s an easy and future-proof way.
Naming Convention
First, I’m defining that cm.yourdomain.localhost and *-cm.yourdomain.localhost should automatically resolve to your CM container, and similarly cd.yourdomain.localhost and *-cd.yourdomain.localhost should automatically resolve to your CD container.
Update docker-compose.yml
Locate your traefik.http.routers.cm-secure.rule and traefik.http.routers.cd-secure.rule.
Update traefik.http.routers.cd-secure.rule as follows:
“traefik.http.routers.cd-secure.rule=HostRegexp(\{subdomain:([a-z]+-|)\}$\{CD_HOST\})”
Update traefik.http.routers.cm-secure.rule as follows:
“traefik.http.routers.cm-secure.rule=HostRegexp(\{subdomain:([a-z]+-|)\}$\{CM_HOST\})”
Update your init.ps1
Add your custom domains. For example:
Add-HostsEntry “custom1-cm.HostName).localhost”
Add-HostsEntry “custom1-cd.HostName).localhost”
Update <sites> configuration
If you’re not on SXA then update your <sites>, if you’re on SXA then update the Site Groupings.
Done!
