Træfɪk is a modern HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer made to deploy microservices with ease.
It supports several backends ([Docker :whale:](https://www.docker.com/), [Mesos/Marathon](https://mesosphere.github.io/marathon/), [Consul](https://consul.io/), [Etcd](https://coreos.com/etcd/), Rest API, file...) to manage its configuration automatically and dynamically.
Basically, Træfɪk is a http router, which sends traffic from frontends to http backends, following rules you have configured.
### Frontends
Frontends can be defined using the following rules:
* ```Headers```: Headers adds a matcher for request header values. It accepts a sequence of key/value pairs to be matched. For example: ```application/json```
* ```HeadersRegexp```: Regular expressions can be used with headers as well. It accepts a sequence of key/value pairs, where the value has regex support. For example: ```application/(text|json)```
* ```Host```: Host adds a matcher for the URL host. It accepts a template with zero or more URL variables enclosed by {}. Variables can define an optional regexp pattern to be matched: ```www.traefik.io```, ```{subdomain:[a-z]+}.traefik.io```
* ```Methods```: Methods adds a matcher for HTTP methods. It accepts a sequence of one or more methods to be matched, e.g.: ```GET```, ```POST```, ```PUT```
* ```Path```: Path adds a matcher for the URL path. It accepts a template with zero or more URL variables enclosed by {}. The template must start with a "/". For exemple ```/products/``` ```/articles/{category}/{id:[0-9]+}```
* ```PathPrefix```: PathPrefix adds a matcher for the URL path prefix. This matches if the given template is a prefix of the full URL path.
A frontend is a set of rules that forwards the incoming http traffic to a backend.
### HTTP Backends
A backend is responsible to load-balance the traffic coming from one or more frontends to a set of http servers.
Various types of load-balancing is supported:
* Weighted round robin
* Rebalancer: increases weights on servers that perform better than others. It also rolls back to original weights if the servers have changed.
A circuit breaker can also be applied to a backend, preventing high loads on failing servers.

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``` :
```toml
# traefik.toml
port = ":80"
graceTimeOut = 10
logLevel = "DEBUG"
[file]
# rules
[backends]
[backends.backend1]
[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.servers.server1]
url = "http://172.17.0.4:80"
weight = 1
[frontends]
[frontends.frontend1]
backend = "backend2"
[frontends.frontend1.routes.test_1]
rule = "Host"
value = "test.localhost"
[frontends.frontend2]
backend = "backend1"
[frontends.frontend2.routes.test_2]
rule = "Path"
value = "/test"
```
* or put your rules in a separate file, for example ```rules.tml```:
```toml
# traefik.toml
port = ":80"
graceTimeOut = 10
logLevel = "DEBUG"
[file]
filename = "rules.toml"
```
```toml
# rules.toml
[backends]
[backends.backend1]
[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.servers.server1]
url = "http://172.17.0.4:80"
weight = 1
[frontends]
[frontends.frontend1]
backend = "backend2"
[frontends.frontend1.routes.test_1]
rule = "Host"
value = "test.localhost"
[frontends.frontend2]
backend = "backend1"
[frontends.frontend2.routes.test_2]
rule = "Path"
value = "/test"
```
If you want Træfɪk to watch file changes automatically, just add:
```toml
[file]
watch = true
```

#
# Required
#
endpoint = "unix:///var/run/docker.sock"

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

Labels can be used on containers to override default behaviour:
* ```traefik.backend=foo```: assign the container to ```foo``` backend
* ```traefik.port=80```: register this port. Useful when the container exposes multiples ports.
* ```traefik.weight=10```: assign this weight to the container
