Traefik integrates with your existing infrastructure components ([Docker](https://www.docker.com/), [Swarm mode](https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/), [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io), [Marathon](https://mesosphere.github.io/marathon/), [Consul](https://www.consul.io/), [Etcd](https://coreos.com/etcd/), [Rancher](https://rancher.com), [Amazon ECS](https://aws.amazon.com/ecs), ...) and configures itself automatically and dynamically. Pointing Traefik at your orchestrator should be the _only_ configuration step you need. --- . **[Overview](#overview)** . **[Features](#features)** . **[Supported backends](#supported-backends)** . **[Quickstart](#quickstart)** . **[Web UI](#web-ui)** . **[Documentation](#documentation)** . . **[Support](#support)** . **[Release cycle](#release-cycle)** . **[Contributing](#contributing)** . **[Maintainers](#maintainers)** . **[Credits](#credits)** . --- :warning: Please be aware that the old configurations for Traefik v1.x are NOT compatible with the v2.x config as of now. If you're running v2, please ensure you are using a [v2 configuration](https://docs.traefik.io/). ## Overview Imagine that you have deployed a bunch of microservices with the help of an orchestrator (like Swarm or Kubernetes) or a service registry (like etcd or consul). Now you want users to access these microservices, and you need a reverse proxy. Traditional reverse-proxies require that you configure _each_ route that will connect paths and subdomains to _each_ microservice. In an environment where you add, remove, kill, upgrade, or scale your services _many_ times a day, the task of keeping the routes up to date becomes tedious. **This is when Traefik can help you!** Traefik listens to your service registry/orchestrator API and instantly generates the routes so your microservices are connected to the outside world -- without further intervention from your part. **Run Traefik and let it do the work for you!** _(But if you'd rather configure some of your routes manually, Traefik supports that too!)_ ![Architecture](docs/content/assets/img/traefik-architecture.png) ## Features - Continuously updates its configuration (No restarts!) - Supports multiple load balancing algorithms - Provides HTTPS to your microservices by leveraging [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org) (wildcard certificates support) - Circuit breakers, retry - See the magic through its clean web UI - Websocket, HTTP/2, GRPC ready - Provides metrics (Rest, Prometheus, Datadog, Statsd, InfluxDB) - Keeps access logs (JSON, CLF) - Fast - Exposes a Rest API - Packaged as a single binary file (made with :heart: with go) and available as a [tiny](https://microbadger.com/images/traefik) [official](https://hub.docker.com/r/_/traefik/) docker image ## Supported Backends - [Docker](https://docs.traefik.io/providers/docker/) / [Swarm mode](https://docs.traefik.io/providers/docker/) - [Kubernetes](https://docs.traefik.io/providers/kubernetes-crd/) - [Marathon](https://docs.traefik.io/providers/marathon/) - [Rancher](https://docs.traefik.io/providers/rancher/) (Metadata) - [File](https://docs.traefik.io/providers/file/) ## Quickstart To get your hands on Traefik, you can use the [5-Minute Quickstart](https://docs.traefik.io/getting-started/quick-start/) in our documentation (you will need Docker). ## Web UI You can access the simple HTML frontend of Traefik. ![Web UI Providers](docs/content/assets/img/webui-dashboard.png) ## Documentation You can find the complete documentation of Traefik v2 at [https://docs.traefik.io](https://docs.traefik.io).

Each version is supported until the next one is released (e.g. 1.1.x will be supported until 1.2.0 is out).
