And then it will redirect its requests to your Uvicorn running on `http://127.0.0.1:8000`.

Now start Traefik:

<div class="termy">

```console
$ ./traefik --configFile=traefik.toml

INFO[0000] Configuration loaded from file: /home/user/awesomeapi/traefik.toml
```

</div>

And now start your app, using the `--root-path` option:

<div class="termy">

```console

Here are some possible ideas:

* An "Init Container" in Kubernetes that runs before your app container
* A bash script that runs the previous steps and then starts your application
    * You would still need a way to start/restart *that* bash script, detect errors, etc.

!!! tip

The command `fastapi dev` reads your `main.py` file, detects the **FastAPI** app in it, and starts a server using <a href="https://www.uvicorn.org" class="external-link" target="_blank">Uvicorn</a>.

By default, `fastapi dev` will start with auto-reload enabled for local development.

You can read more about it in the <a href="https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/fastapi-cli/" target="_blank">FastAPI CLI docs</a>.

### Check it

A container is running as long as the **main process** (command or program) is running.

A container normally has a **single process**, but it's also possible to start subprocesses from the main process, and that way you will have **multiple processes** in the same container.
