Here is my doker-compose.yaml file, which create two n8n instances and traefik for reverse proxy.

version: '3.7'

services:
  traefik:
    image: 'traefik'
    restart: always
    command:
      - '--api=true'
      - '--api.insecure=true'

      - '--entrypoints.websecure.address=:443'
      - '--certificatesresolvers.mytlschallenge.acme.tlschallenge=true'
