+## Traefik Reverse Proxy
+
+This example shows how to add a `label` to the Frigate Docker compose file, enabling Traefik to automatically discover your Frigate instance.  
+Before using the example below, you must first set up Traefik with the [Docker provider](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/providers/docker/)
+
+```yml
+services:
+  frigate:
+    container_name: frigate
+    image: ghcr.io/blakeblackshear/frigate:stable
+    ...
+    ...
+    labels:
+      - "traefik.enable=true"
+      - "traefik.http.services.frigate.loadbalancer.server.port=8971"
+      - "traefik.http.routers.frigate.rule=Host(`traefik.example.com`)"
+```
+
+The above configuration will create a "service" in Traefik, automatically adding your container's IP on port 8791 as a backend.
+It will also add a router, routing requests to "traefik.example.com" to your local container.
+
+Note that with this approach, you don't need to expose any ports for the Frigate instance since all traffic will be routed over the internal Docker network.
