# Enable debug mode
#
# Optional
# Default: false

# Access logs file
#
# Deprecated - see [accessLog] lower down
# Optional

# Log level
#
# Optional
# Default: "ERROR"
# Accepted values, in order of severity: "DEBUG", "INFO", "WARN", "ERROR", "FATAL", "PANIC"
# Messages at and above the selected level will be logged.

# logLevel = "ERROR"

# Backends throttle duration: minimum duration in seconds 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.
# Can be provided in a format supported by [time.ParseDuration](https://golang.org/pkg/time/#ParseDuration) or as raw

```

### Constraints

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

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

Supported backends:

- Docker
- Consul K/V
- BoltDB
- Zookeeper
- Etcd
- Consul Catalog
- Rancher

Supported filters:

- `tag`

```toml
# 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"]
```

## Access log definition

The standard access log uses the textual Common Log Format (CLF), extended with additional fields.
Alternatively logs can be written in JSON. 
Using the default CLF option is simple, e.g.

```toml
[accessLog]
  filePath = "/path/to/access.log"
```

To write JSON format logs, specify `json` as the format:
```toml
[accessLog]
  filePath   = "/path/to/access.log"
  format     = "json"
```

## Entrypoints definition

```toml
# Entrypoints definition
#
# Optional
# Default:
# [entryPoints]
#   [entryPoints.http]
#   address = ":80"
#
# To redirect an http entrypoint to an https entrypoint (with SNI support):
# [entryPoints]
#   [entryPoints.http]

#
# Only accept clients that present a certificate signed by a specified
# Certificate Authority (CA)
# ClientCAFiles can be configured with multiple CA:s in the same file or
# use multiple files containing one or several CA:s. The CA:s has to be in PEM format.
# All clients will be required to present a valid cert.
# The requirement will apply to all server certs in the entrypoint
# In the example below both snitest.com and snitest.org will require client certs

#
# Optional
#
# delayDontCheckDNS = 0

# If true, display debug log messages from the acme client library
#
# Optional
#
# acmeLogging = true

# Enable on demand certificate. This will request a certificate from Let's Encrypt during the first TLS handshake for a hostname that does not yet have a certificate.

# WARNING, Take note that Let's Encrypt have rate limiting: https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits
#
# Optional
#
# onDemand = true

# Enable certificate generation on frontends Host rules. This will request a certificate from Let's Encrypt for each frontend with a Host rule.
# For example, a rule Host:test1.traefik.io,test2.traefik.io will request a certificate with main domain test1.traefik.io and SAN test2.traefik.io.
#
# Optional

# caServer = "https://acme-staging.api.letsencrypt.org/directory"

# Domains list
# You can provide SANs (alternative domains) to each main domain
# All domains must have A/AAAA records pointing to Traefik
# WARNING, Take note that Let's Encrypt have rate limiting: https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits
# Each domain & SANs will lead to a certificate request.

# Configuration backends

## File backend

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

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

```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"
      KeyFile = "integration/fixtures/https/snitest.org.key"

[file]

# rules
[backends]
  [backends.backend1]
    [backends.backend1.circuitbreaker]
      expression = "NetworkErrorRatio() > 0.5"
    [backends.backend1.servers.server1]
    url = "http://172.17.0.2:80"
    weight = 10
    [backends.backend1.servers.server2]
    url = "http://172.17.0.3:80"
    weight = 1
  [backends.backend2]
    [backends.backend2.maxconn]
      amount = 10
      extractorfunc = "request.host"
    [backends.backend2.LoadBalancer]
      method = "drr"
    [backends.backend2.servers.server1]
    url = "http://172.17.0.4:80"
    weight = 1
    [backends.backend2.servers.server2]
    url = "http://172.17.0.5:80"
    weight = 2

[frontends]
  [frontends.frontend1]
  backend = "backend2"
    [frontends.frontend1.routes.test_1]
    rule = "Host:test.localhost"
  [frontends.frontend2]
  backend = "backend1"
  passHostHeader = true
  priority = 10

  # restrict access to this frontend to the specified list of IPv4/IPv6 CIDR Nets
  # an unset or empty list allows all Source-IPs to access
  # if one of the Net-Specifications are invalid, the whole list is invalid
  # and allows all Source-IPs to access.
  whitelistSourceRange = ["10.42.0.0/16", "152.89.1.33/32", "afed:be44::/16"]

  entrypoints = ["https"] # overrides defaultEntryPoints
    [frontends.frontend2.routes.test_1]
    rule = "Host:{subdomain:[a-z]+}.localhost"
  [frontends.frontend3]
  entrypoints = ["http", "https"] # overrides defaultEntryPoints
  backend = "backend2"
    rule = "Path:/test"
```

- or put your rules in a separate file, for example `rules.toml`:

```toml
# traefik.toml
logLevel = "DEBUG"
[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"
      KeyFile = "integration/fixtures/https/snitest.org.key"

[file]

  [backends.backend2]
    [backends.backend2.maxconn]
      amount = 10
      extractorfunc = "request.host"
    [backends.backend2.LoadBalancer]
      method = "drr"
    [backends.backend2.servers.server1]

    weight = 1
    [backends.backend2.servers.server2]
    url = "http://172.17.0.5:80"
    weight = 2

[frontends]
  [frontends.frontend1]
  backend = "backend2"
    [frontends.frontend1.routes.test_1]
    rule = "Host:test.localhost"
  [frontends.frontend2]
  backend = "backend1"
  passHostHeader = true
  priority = 10
  entrypoints = ["https"] # overrides defaultEntryPoints
    [frontends.frontend2.routes.test_1]

  [frontends.frontend3]
  entrypoints = ["http", "https"] # overrides defaultEntryPoints
  backend = "backend2"
    rule = "Path:/test"
```

If you want Træfik to watch file changes automatically, just add:

```toml
[file]
watch = true
```

## API backend

Træfik can be configured using a RESTful api.
To enable it:

```toml
[web]
address = ":8080"

# Set the root path for webui and API
#
# Optional
#
# path = "/mypath"
#
# SSL certificate and key used
#
# Optional
#
# CertFile = "traefik.crt"
# KeyFile = "traefik.key"
#
# Set REST API to read-only mode
#
# Optional
# ReadOnly = false
#
# To enable more detailed statistics
# [web.statistics]
#   RecentErrors = 10
#
# To enable Traefik to export internal metrics to Prometheus
# [web.metrics.prometheus]
#   Buckets=[0.1,0.3,1.2,5.0]
#
# To enable basic auth on the webui
# with 2 user/pass: test:test and test2:test2
# Passwords can be encoded in MD5, SHA1 and BCrypt: you can use htpasswd to generate those ones
# Users can be specified directly in the toml file, or indirectly by referencing an external file; if both are provided, the two are merged, with external file contents having precedence
#   [web.auth.basic]
#     users = ["test:$apr1$H6uskkkW$IgXLP6ewTrSuBkTrqE8wj/", "test2:$apr1$d9hr9HBB$4HxwgUir3HP4EsggP/QNo0"]
#     usersFile = "/path/to/.htpasswd"
# To enable digest auth on the webui
# with 2 user/realm/pass: test:traefik:test and test2:traefik:test2
# You can use htdigest to generate those ones
# Users can be specified directly in the toml file, or indirectly by referencing an external file; if both are provided, the two are merged, with external file contents having precedence
#   [web.auth.digest]
#     users = ["test:traefik:a2688e031edb4be6a3797f3882655c05 ", "test2:traefik:518845800f9e2bfb1f1f740ec24f074e"]

#
[docker]

# Docker server endpoint. Can be a tcp or a unix socket endpoint.
#
# Required

# 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
#

# Expose containers by default in traefik
# If set to false, containers that don't have `traefik.enable=true` will be ignored
#
# 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

#  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`: give the name `foo` to the generated backend for this container.
- `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.loadbalancer.sticky=true`: enable backend sticky sessions
- `traefik.backend.loadbalancer.swarm=true `: use Swarm's inbuilt load balancer (only relevant under Swarm Mode).
- `traefik.backend.circuitbreaker.expression=NetworkErrorRatio() > 0.5`: create a [circuit breaker](/basics/#backends) 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 Træfik
- `traefik.frontend.rule=Host:test.traefik.io`: override the default frontend rule (Default: `Host:{containerName}.{domain}` or `Host:{service}.{project_name}.{domain}` if you are using `docker-compose`).

- `traefik.frontend.whitelistSourceRange: "1.2.3.0/24, fe80::/16"`: List of IP-Ranges which are allowed to access. An unset or empty list allows all Source-IPs to access. If one of the Net-Specifications are invalid, the whole list is invalid and allows all Source-IPs to access.- `traefik.docker.network`: Set the docker network to use for connections to this container. If a container is linked to several networks, be sure to set the proper network name (you can check with docker inspect <container_id>) otherwise it will randomly pick one (depending on how docker is returning them). For instance when deploying docker `stack` from compose files, the compose defined networks will be prefixed with the `stack` name.

If several ports need to be exposed from a container, the services labels can be used
- `traefik.<service-name>.port=443`: create a service binding with frontend/backend using this port. Overrides `traefik.port`.
- `traefik.<service-name>.protocol=https`: assign `https` protocol. Overrides `traefik.protocol`.
- `traefik.<service-name>.weight=10`: assign this service weight. Overrides `traefik.weight`.
- `traefik.<service-name>.frontend.backend=fooBackend`: assign this service frontend to `foobackend`. Default is to assign to the service backend.
- `traefik.<service-name>.frontend.entryPoints=http`: assign this service entrypoints. Overrides `traefik.frontend.entrypoints`.

- `traefik.<service-name>.frontend.passHostHeader=true`: Forward client `Host` header to the backend. Overrides `traefik.frontend.passHostHeader`.
- `traefik.<service-name>.frontend.priority=10`: assign the service frontend priority. Overrides `traefik.frontend.priority`.
- `traefik.<service-name>.frontend.rule=Path:/foo`: assign the service frontend rule. Overrides `traefik.frontend.rule`.

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

## Kubernetes Ingress backend


Træfik can be configured to use Kubernetes Ingress as a backend configuration:

```toml
################################################################
# Kubernetes Ingress configuration backend
################################################################
# Enable Kubernetes Ingress configuration backend
#
# Optional
#
[kubernetes]

# Kubernetes server endpoint
#
# When deployed as a replication controller in Kubernetes, Traefik will use
# the environment variables KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST and KUBERNETES_SERVICE_PORT
# to construct the 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
#
# The endpoint may be given to override the environment variable values.
#
# When the environment variables are not found, Traefik will try to connect to
# the Kubernetes API server with an external-cluster client. In this case, the
# endpoint is required. Specifically, it may be set to the URL used by
# `kubectl proxy` to connect to a Kubernetes cluster from localhost.
#
# Optional for in-cluster configuration, required otherwise
# Default: empty
#
# endpoint = "http://localhost:8080"

# Bearer token used for the Kubernetes client configuration.
#
# Optional
# Default: empty
#
# token = "my token"

# Path to the certificate authority file used for the Kubernetes client
# configuration.
#
# Optional
# Default: empty
#
# certAuthFilePath = "/my/ca.crt"

# Array of namespaces to watch.
#
# Optional
# Default: ["default"].
#
# 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`).

Annotations can be used on the Kubernetes service to override default behaviour:

- `traefik.backend.loadbalancer.method=drr`: override the default `wrr` load balancer algorithm
- `traefik.backend.loadbalancer.sticky=true`: enable backend sticky sessions

You can find here an example [ingress](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/containous/traefik/master/examples/k8s/cheese-ingress.yaml) and [replication controller](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/containous/traefik/master/examples/k8s/traefik.yaml).

Additionally, an annotation can be used on Kubernetes services to set the [circuit breaker expression](https://docs.traefik.io/basics/#backends) for a backend.

- `traefik.backend.circuitbreaker: <expression>`: set the circuit breaker expression for the backend (Default: nil).

As known from nginx when used as Kubernetes Ingress Controller, a List of IP-Ranges which are allowed to access can be configured by using an ingress annotation:

- `ingress.kubernetes.io/whitelist-source-range: "1.2.3.0/24, fe80::/16"`

An unset or empty list allows all Source-IPs to access. If one of the Net-Specifications are invalid, the whole list is invalid and allows all Source-IPs to access.


### Authentication

Is possible to add additional authentication annotations in the Ingress rule.
The source of the authentication is a secret that contains usernames and passwords inside the the key auth.

- `ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-type`: `basic`
- `ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-secret`: contains the usernames and passwords with access to the paths defined in the Ingress Rule.

The secret must be created in the same namespace as the Ingress rule.

Limitations:

- Basic authentication only.
- Realm not configurable; only `traefik` default.
- Secret must contain only single file.

## Consul backend

Træfik can be configured to use Consul as a backend configuration:

# Rancher backend

Træfik can be configured to use Rancher as a backend configuration:


```toml
################################################################
# Rancher configuration backend
################################################################

# Enable Rancher configuration backend
#
# Optional
#
[rancher]

# Default domain used.
# Can be overridden by setting the "traefik.domain" label on an service.
#
# Required
#
domain = "rancher.localhost"

# Enable watch Rancher changes
#
# Optional
# Default: true
#
Watch = true

# Polling interval (in seconds)
#
# Optional
#
RefreshSeconds = 15

# Expose Rancher services by default in traefik
#
# Optional
# Default: true
#
ExposedByDefault = false

# Filter services with unhealthy states and health states
#
# Optional
# Default: false
#
EnableServiceHealthFilter = false

# Endpoint to use when connecting to Rancher
#
# Required
# Endpoint = "http://rancherserver.example.com/v1"

# AccessKey to use when connecting to Rancher
#
# Required
# AccessKey = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

# SecretKey to use when connecting to Rancher
#
# Required
# SecretKey = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

```

As traefik needs access to the rancher API, you need to set the `endpoint`, `accesskey` and `secretkey` parameters. 

To enable traefik to fetch information about the Environment it's deployed in only, you need to create an `Environment API Key`. This can be found within the API Key advanced options.

Labels can be used on task containers to override default behaviour:

- `traefik.protocol=https`: override the default `http` protocol
- `traefik.weight=10`: assign this weight to the container
- `traefik.enable=false`: disable this container in Træfik
- `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.frontend.auth.basic=test:$apr1$H6uskkkW$IgXLP6ewTrSuBkTrqE8wj/,test2:$apr1$d9hr9HBB$4HxwgUir3HP4EsggP/QNo0`: Sets a Basic Auth for that frontend with the users test:test and test2:test2


## DynamoDB backend

Træfik can be configured to use Amazon DynamoDB as a backend configuration:


```toml
################################################################
# DynamoDB configuration backend
################################################################

# Enable DynamoDB configuration backend
#
# Optional
#
[dynamodb]

# DyanmoDB Table Name
#
# Optional
#
TableName = "traefik"

# Enable watch DynamoDB changes
#
# Optional
#
Watch = true

# Polling interval (in seconds)
#
# Optional
#
RefreshSeconds = 15

# Region to use when connecting to AWS
#
# Required
#
# Region = "us-west-1"

# AccessKeyID to use when connecting to AWS
#
# Optional
#
# AccessKeyID = "abc"

# SecretAccessKey to use when connecting to AWS
#
# Optional
#
# SecretAccessKey = "123"

# Endpoint of local dynamodb instance for testing
#
# Optional
#
# Endpoint = "http://localhost:8080"

```

Items in the `dynamodb` table must have three attributes: 

- `id` : string
    - The id is the primary key.
- `name` : string
    - The name is used as the name of the frontend or backend.
- `frontend` or `backend` : map
    - This attribute's structure matches exactly the structure of a Frontend or Backend type in traefik. See `types/types.go` for details. The presence or absence of this attribute determines its type. So an item should never have both a `frontend` and a `backend` attribute.
