I had to add these to labels to avoid getting 400 bad request:

traefik.http.routers.ha.middlewares: haHeaders
traefik.http.middlewares.haHeaders.headers.customrequestheaders.Connection: Upgrade

Thank you for this. I've spent a few hours before stumbling upon this little gem.

Thanks for this gist, helped me get my HA working.

3 years later and "extra_hosts" still does the job, thank you!

This took me hours to find - thanks for the help my man! :D

If you want to avoid adding a "magic" IP address you can use

extra_hosts:
  - "host.docker.internal:host-gateway"

make sure you are using linux and docker >v20.10.

If you receive "400 Bad Request" error, you need to whitelist the IP of the docker proxy in home assistant.

Check the Home Assistant logs. You should see something like:

2024-03-30 22:28:57.467 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.http.forwarded] Received X-Forwarded-For header from an untrusted proxy XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

Add the XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX IP in you home assistant configuration.yml file.

http:
  use_x_forwarded_for: true
  trusted_proxies:
    - ::1
    - 127.0.0.1
    - XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

This IP changes if you destroy your traefik container / network.
You can allow the CIDR 172.16.0.0/12 so it will be always allowed whatever IP it takes... But it's less secure of course.
