Will installing Traefik scarper my plans (lazysoci.al)

My homelab is still in its infancy as I'm at the start of my self-hosting journey. I'm now down the rabbit hole though and where I can self host, I'd like to.

Not long back, I asked for some advice regarding an IFTTT replacement. I only need a tiny subset of the service, in that I want it to check some RSS feeds and send a notification if it finds one. The people of the fediverse are amazing and I got some great recommendations, however some felt like a great fit but didn't pan out. That left me with less and less.

One of the suggestions though was n8n and as I looked into giving it a whirl, I noticed it needed Traefik to be installed.

Now here's the thing, I haven't sorted out my router yet and since nothing I'm doing is facing the net, I'm kinda just chilling without a proper set up. I'm wondering, if I install Traefik along with n8n, will it break my other services? Will I still be able to install my homebrew router with OpenWRT when I finally sort that out and will it impact the IPTV which I'll sort out when I've sorted out the router?

I’m not really sure I’m following but you shouldn’t need Traefik to install n8n, you can use any other reverse proxy or just run n8n on its own.

Traefik, or any other reverse proxy, doesn’t affect anything with your router. You’d just need to update whatever you’re using for DNS to point to it.

You should still be able to access all your other services just fine unless you’re already running another reverse proxy with a wildcard DNS rewrite.
