+
+Read the example captcha before this, to better understand what is done here.
+
+### Traefik configuration
+
+The minimal configuration is defined below to implement custom captcha.  
+This documentation use https://github.com/a-ve/wicketkeeper, a self-hosted captcha provider that have a similar API than big providers.
+
+Minimal API requirement:
+
+- the JS file URL to load the captcha on the served `captcha.html`
+- the HTML className to tell to the JS where to display the challenge
+- the verify URL endpoint to send the field `response` from the captcha with `content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded`
+- the name of the field when you POST the resolved captcha to Traefik
+
+- the JS file need to respect the `data-callback` on the div that contains the captcha if you use our template, but you can customize it by your side
