Traefik is a modern HTTP reverse proxy and ingress controller that makes deploying microservices easy.

Traefik integrates with your existing infrastructure components (Kubernetes, Docker, Swarm, Consul, Nomad, etcd, Amazon ECS, ...) and configures itself automatically and dynamically.

Pointing Traefik at your orchestrator should be the only configuration step you need.

Traefik v3 - Example usage

Enable docker provider and dashboard UI:

yml
## traefik.yml

# Docker configuration backend
providers:
  docker:
    defaultRule: "Host(`{{ trimPrefix `/` .Name }}.docker.localhost`)"

# API and dashboard configuration
api:
  insecure: true

Start Traefik v3:

sh
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 80:80 \
  -v $PWD/traefik.yml:/etc/traefik/traefik.yml \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  traefik:v3

Start a backend server using the traefik/whoami image:

sh
docker run -d --name test traefik/whoami

Access the whoami service through Traefik via the defined rule test.docker.localhost:

console
$ curl test.docker.localhost
Hostname: 0693100b16de
IP: 127.0.0.1
IP: ::1
IP: 192.168.215.4
RemoteAddr: 192.168.215.3:57618
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: test.docker.localhost
User-Agent: curl/8.7.1
Accept: */*
Accept-Encoding: gzip
X-Forwarded-For: 192.168.215.1
X-Forwarded-Host: test.docker.localhost
X-Forwarded-Port: 80
X-Forwarded-Proto: http
X-Forwarded-Server: 8a37fd4f35fb
X-Real-Ip: 192.168.215.1

Access the Traefik Dashboard:

Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080 to access the Traefik dashboard. This will provide an overview of routers, services, and middlewares.

Traefik v2 - Example usage

Enable docker provider and dashboard UI:

yml
## traefik.yml

# Docker configuration backend
providers:
  docker:
    defaultRule: "Host(`{{ trimPrefix `/` .Name }}.docker.localhost`)"

# API and dashboard configuration
api:
  insecure: true

Start Traefik v2:

sh
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 80:80 \
-v $PWD/traefik.yml:/etc/traefik/traefik.yml \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
traefik:v2.11

Start a backend server using the traefik/whoami image:

sh
docker run -d --name test traefik/whoami

Access the whoami service through Traefik via the defined rule test.docker.localhost:

console
$ curl test.docker.localhost
Hostname: 390a880bdfab
IP: 127.0.0.1
IP: 172.17.0.3
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: test.docker.localhost
User-Agent: curl/7.65.3
Accept: */*
Accept-Encoding: gzip
X-Forwarded-For: 172.17.0.1

X-Forwarded-Port: 80
X-Forwarded-Proto: http
X-Forwarded-Server: 7e073cb54211

Image Variants

The traefik images come in many flavors, each designed for a specific use case.

traefik:<version>

This is the defacto image. If you are unsure about what your needs are, you probably want to use this one. It is designed to be used both as a throw away container (mount your source code and start the container to start your app), as well as the base to build other images off of.

traefik:<version>-windowsservercore

This image is based on https://hub.docker.com/r/microsoft/windows-servercore. As such, it only works in places which that image does, such as Windows 10 Professional/Enterprise (Anniversary Edition) or Windows Server 2016.

For information about how to get Docker running on Windows, please see the relevant "Quick Start" guide provided by Microsoft:
