+# Intro
+If you're using Traefik as your reverse proxy in your docker setup, you might want to use it as well to centrally serve the ```/robots.txt``` for all your Traefik fronted services.
+
+This can be achieved by configuring a single lightweight service to service static files and defining a high priority Traefik HTTP Router rule.
+
+# Setup
+Define a single service to serve the one robots.txt to rule them all. I'm using a lean nginx:alpine docker image in this example:
+
+```
+services:
+  robots:
+    image: nginx:alpine
+    container_name: robots-server
+    volumes:
+      - ./static/:/usr/share/nginx/html/:ro
+    labels:
+      - "traefik.enable=true"
+      # Router for all /robots.txt requests
+      - "traefik.http.routers.robots.rule=Path(`/robots.txt`)"
+      - "traefik.http.routers.robots.entrypoints=web,websecure"
+      - "traefik.http.routers.robots.priority=3000"
+      - "traefik.http.routers.robots.service=robots"
+      - "traefik.http.routers.robots.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt"
+      - "traefik.http.services.robots.loadbalancer.server.port=80"
+    networks:
+      - external_network
+
+networks:
+  external_network:
+     name: traefik_external_network
+     external: true
+```
+
+The Traefik HTTP Routers rule explicitly does not contain a Hostname. Traefik will print a warning about this for the TLS setup but it will work. The high priority of 3000 should ensure this rule is evaluated first for incoming requests.
+
+Place your robots.txt in the local `./static/` directory and NGINX will serve it for all services behind your Traefik proxy.
