# Traefik logs file
# If not defined, logs to stdout
#
# Optional
#
# traefikLogsFile = "log/traefik.log"

# Access logs file
#
# Optional

# Backends throttle duration: minimum duration between 2 events from providers
# before applying a new configuration. It avoids unnecessary reloads if multiples events
# are sent in a short amount of time.
#
# Optional
# Default: "2s"
#
# ProvidersThrottleDuration = "5s"

# If non-zero, controls the maximum idle (keep-alive) to keep per-host.  If zero, DefaultMaxIdleConnsPerHost is used.
# If you encounter 'too many open files' errors, you can either change this value, or change `ulimit` value.
#
# Optional
# Default: http.DefaultMaxIdleConnsPerHost
#
# MaxIdleConnsPerHost = 200

# If set to true invalid SSL certificates are accepted for backends.
# Note: This disables detection of man-in-the-middle attacks so should only be used on secure backend networks.
# Optional
# Default: false
#
# InsecureSkipVerify = true

# Entrypoints to be used by frontends that do not specify any entrypoint.
# Each frontend can specify its own entrypoints.
#

#
# defaultEntryPoints = ["http", "https"]

Constraints

In a micro-service architecture, with a central service discovery, setting constraints limits Træfɪk scope to a smaller number of routes.

Træfɪk filters services according to service attributes/tags set in your configuration backends.

Supported backends:

• Docker
• Consul K/V
• BoltDB
• Zookeeper
• Etcd
• Consul Catalog

Supported filters:

• tag

# Constraints definition
#
# Optional
#
# Simple matching constraint
# constraints = ["tag==api"]
#
# Simple mismatching constraint
# constraints = ["tag!=api"]
#
# Globbing
# constraints = ["tag==us-*"]
#
# Backend-specific constraint
# [consulCatalog]
#   endpoint = 127.0.0.1:8500
#   constraints = ["tag==api"]
#
# Multiple constraints
#   - "tag==" must match with at least one tag
#   - "tag!=" must match with none of tags
# constraints = ["tag!=us-*", "tag!=asia-*"]
# [consulCatalog]
#   endpoint = 127.0.0.1:8500
#   constraints = ["tag==api", "tag!=v*-beta"]

Configuration backends

File backend

Like any other reverse proxy, Træfɪk can be configured with a file. You have two choices:

• simply add your configuration at the end of the global configuration file traefik.toml:

# traefik.toml
logLevel = "DEBUG"
defaultEntryPoints = ["http", "https"]
[entryPoints]
  [entryPoints.http]
  address = ":80"
    [entryPoints.http.redirect]
      entryPoint = "https"
  [entryPoints.https]
  address = ":443"
    [entryPoints.https.tls]
      [[entryPoints.https.tls.certificates]]
      CertFile = "integration/fixtures/https/snitest.com.cert"
      KeyFile = "integration/fixtures/https/snitest.com.key"
      [[entryPoints.https.tls.certificates]]
      CertFile = "integration/fixtures/https/snitest.org.cert"

Docker backend

Træfɪk can be configured to use Docker as a backend configuration:

################################################################
# Docker configuration backend
################################################################

# Enable Docker configuration backend
#
# Optional
#
[docker]

# Docker server endpoint. Can be a tcp or a unix socket endpoint.
#
# Required
#
endpoint = "unix:///var/run/docker.sock"

# Default domain used.
# Can be overridden by setting the "traefik.domain" label on a container.
#
# Required
#
domain = "docker.localhost"

# Enable watch docker changes
#
# Optional
#
watch = true

# Override default configuration template. For advanced users :)
#
# Optional
#
# filename = "docker.tmpl"

# Expose containers by default in traefik
#
# Optional
# Default: true
#
exposedbydefault = true

# Use the IP address from the binded port instead of the inner network one. For specific use-case :)

#
# Optional
# Default: false
#
usebindportip = true
# Use Swarm Mode services as data provider
#
# Optional
# Default: false
#
swarmmode = false


# Enable docker TLS connection
#
#  [docker.tls]
#  ca = "/etc/ssl/ca.crt"
#  cert = "/etc/ssl/docker.crt"
#  key = "/etc/ssl/docker.key"
#  insecureskipverify = true

Labels can be used on containers to override default behaviour:

• traefik.backend=foo: assign the container to foo backend
• traefik.backend.maxconn.amount=10: set a maximum number of connections to the backend. Must be used in conjunction with the below label to take effect.
• traefik.backend.maxconn.extractorfunc=client.ip: set the function to be used against the request to determine what to limit maximum connections to the backend by. Must be used in conjunction with the above label to take effect.
• traefik.backend.loadbalancer.method=drr: override the default wrr load balancer algorithm
• traefik.backend.circuitbreaker.expression=NetworkErrorRatio() > 0.5: create a circuit breaker to be used against the backend
• traefik.port=80: register this port. Useful when the container exposes multiples ports.
• traefik.protocol=https: override the default http protocol
• traefik.weight=10: assign this weight to the container
• traefik.enable=false: disable this container in Træfɪk
• traefik.stickysession=true: enable backend sticky sessions
• traefik.frontend.rule=Host:test.traefik.io: override the default frontend rule (Default: Host:{containerName}.{domain}).
• traefik.frontend.passHostHeader=true: forward client Host header to the backend.
• traefik.frontend.priority=10: override default frontend priority
• traefik.frontend.entryPoints=http,https: assign this frontend to entry points http and https. Overrides defaultEntryPoints.
• traefik.docker.network: Set the docker network to use for connections to this container

NB: when running inside a container, Træfɪk will need network access through docker network connect <network> <traefik-container>

Labels can be used on containers to override default behaviour:

• traefik.backend=foo: assign the application to foo backend
• traefik.backend.maxconn.amount=10: set a maximum number of connections to the backend. Must be used in conjunction with the below label to take effect.
• traefik.backend.maxconn.extractorfunc=client.ip: set the function to be used against the request to determine what to limit maximum connections to the backend by. Must be used in conjunction with the above label to take effect.
• traefik.backend.loadbalancer.method=drr: override the default wrr load balancer algorithm
• traefik.backend.circuitbreaker.expression=NetworkErrorRatio() > 0.5: create a circuit breaker to be used against the backend
• traefik.portIndex=1: register port by index in the application's ports array. Useful when the application exposes multiple ports.
• traefik.port=80: register the explicit application port value. Cannot be used alongside traefik.portIndex.
• traefik.protocol=https: override the default http protocol
• traefik.weight=10: assign this weight to the application
• traefik.enable=false: disable this application in Træfɪk
• traefik.frontend.rule=Host:test.traefik.io: override the default frontend rule (Default: Host:{containerName}.{domain}).
• traefik.frontend.passHostHeader=true: forward client Host header to the backend.
• traefik.frontend.priority=10: override default frontend priority

# Kubernetes server endpoint
#
# When deployed as a replication controller in Kubernetes,
# Traefik will use env variable KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST
# and KUBERNETES_SERVICE_PORT_HTTPS as endpoint
# Secure token will be found in /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token
# and SSL CA cert in /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/ca.crt
#
# Optional
#
# endpoint = "http://localhost:8080"
# namespaces = ["default","production"]
#
# See: http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/labels/#list-and-watch-filtering
# labelselector = "A and not B"
#

Annotations can be used on containers to override default behaviour for the whole Ingress resource:

• traefik.frontend.rule.type: PathPrefixStrip: override the default frontend rule type (Default: PathPrefix).

You can find here an example ingress and replication controller.

Consul backend
