--- title: "Traefik Migration Documentation" description: "Learn the steps needed to migrate to new Traefik Proxy v2 versions, i.e. v2.0 to v2.1 or v2.1 to v2.2. Read the technical documentation." --- # Migration: Steps needed between the versions ## v2.0 to v2.1 ### Kubernetes CRD In v2.1, a new Kubernetes CRD called `TraefikService` was added. While updating an installation to v2.1, one should apply that CRD, and update the existing `ClusterRole` definition to allow Traefik to use that CRD. To add that CRD and enhance the permissions, the following definitions need to be applied to the cluster. ```yaml tab="TraefikService" apiVersion: apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1 kind: CustomResourceDefinition metadata: name: traefikservices.traefik.containo.us spec: group: traefik.containo.us version: v1alpha1 names: kind: TraefikService plural: traefikservices singular: traefikservice scope: Namespaced ``` ```yaml tab="ClusterRole" kind: ClusterRole apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1 metadata: name: traefik-ingress-controller rules: - apiGroups: - "" resources: - services - endpoints - secrets verbs: - get - list - watch - apiGroups: - extensions - networking.k8s.io resources: - ingresses verbs: - get - list - watch - apiGroups: - extensions - networking.k8s.io resources: - ingresses/status verbs: - update - apiGroups: - traefik.containo.us resources: - middlewares - ingressroutes - traefikservices - ingressroutetcps - tlsoptions verbs: - get - list - watch ``` After having both resources applied, Traefik will work properly. ## v2.1 to v2.2 ### Headers middleware: accessControlAllowOrigin `accessControlAllowOrigin` is deprecated. This field will be removed in future 2.x releases. Please configure your allowed origins in `accessControlAllowOriginList` instead. ### Kubernetes CRD In v2.2, new Kubernetes CRDs called `TLSStore` and `IngressRouteUDP` were added. While updating an installation to v2.2, one should apply that CRDs, and update the existing `ClusterRole` definition to allow Traefik to use that CRDs. To add that CRDs and enhance the permissions, the following definitions need to be applied to the cluster. ```yaml tab="TLSStore" apiVersion: apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1 kind: CustomResourceDefinition metadata: name: tlsstores.traefik.containo.us spec: group: traefik.containo.us version: v1alpha1 names: kind: TLSStore plural: tlsstores singular: tlsstore scope: Namespaced ``` ```yaml tab="IngressRouteUDP" apiVersion: apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1 kind: CustomResourceDefinition metadata: name: ingressrouteudps.traefik.containo.us spec: group: traefik.containo.us version: v1alpha1 names: kind: IngressRouteUDP plural: ingressrouteudps singular: ingressrouteudp scope: Namespaced ``` ```yaml tab="ClusterRole" kind: ClusterRole apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1 metadata: name: traefik-ingress-controller rules: - apiGroups: - "" resources: - services - endpoints - secrets verbs: - get - list - watch - apiGroups: - extensions - networking.k8s.io resources: - ingresses verbs: - get - list - watch - apiGroups: - extensions - networking.k8s.io resources: - ingresses/status verbs: - update - apiGroups: - traefik.containo.us resources: - middlewares - ingressroutes - traefikservices - ingressroutetcps - ingressrouteudps - tlsoptions - tlsstores verbs: - get - list - watch ``` After having both resources applied, Traefik will work properly. ### Kubernetes Ingress To enable HTTPS, it is not sufficient anymore to only rely on a TLS section in the Ingress. #### Expose an Ingress on 80 and 443 Define the default TLS configuration on the HTTPS entry point. ```yaml tab="Ingress" kind: Ingress apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1 metadata: name: example spec: tls: - secretName: my-tls-secret rules: - host: example.com http: paths: - path: "/foo" backend: serviceName: example-com servicePort: 80 ``` Entry points definition and enable Ingress provider: ```yaml tab="File (YAML)" # Static configuration entryPoints: web: address: :80 websecure: address: :443 http: tls: {} providers: kubernetesIngress: {} ``` ```toml tab="File (TOML)" # Static configuration [entryPoints.web] address = ":80" [entryPoints.websecure] address = ":443" [entryPoints.websecure.http] [entryPoints.websecure.http.tls] [providers.kubernetesIngress] ``` ```bash tab="CLI" # Static configuration --entryPoints.web.address=:80 --entryPoints.websecure.address=:443 --entryPoints.websecure.http.tls=true --providers.kubernetesIngress=true ``` #### Use TLS only on one Ingress Define the TLS restriction with annotations. ```yaml tab="Ingress" kind: Ingress apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1 metadata: name: example-tls annotations: traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/router.entrypoints: websecure traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/router.tls: "true" spec: tls: - secretName: my-tls-secret rules: - host: example.com http: paths: - path: "" backend: serviceName: example-com servicePort: 80 ``` Entry points definition and enable Ingress provider: ```yaml tab="File (YAML)" # Static configuration entryPoints: web: address: :80 websecure: address: :443 providers: kubernetesIngress: {} ``` ```toml tab="File (TOML)" # Static configuration [entryPoints.web] address = ":80" [entryPoints.websecure] address = ":443" [providers.kubernetesIngress] ``` ```bash tab="CLI" # Static configuration --entryPoints.web.address=:80 --entryPoints.websecure.address=:443 --providers.kubernetesIngress=true ``` ## v2.2.2 to v2.2.5 ### InsecureSNI removal In `v2.2.2` we introduced a new flag (`insecureSNI`) which was available as a global option to disable domain fronting. Since `v2.2.5` this global option has been removed, and you should not use it anymore. ### HostSNI rule matcher removal In `v2.2.2` we introduced a new rule matcher (`HostSNI`) for HTTP routers which was allowing to match the Server Name Indication at the router level. Since `v2.2.5` this rule has been removed for HTTP routers, and you should not use it anymore. ## v2.2 to v2.3 ### X.509 CommonName Deprecation The deprecated, legacy behavior of treating the CommonName field on X.509 certificates as a host name when no Subject Alternative Names are present, is now disabled by default. It means that if one is using https with your backend servers, and a certificate with only a CommonName, Traefik will not try to match the server name indication with the CommonName anymore. It can be temporarily re-enabled by adding the value `x509ignoreCN=0` to the `GODEBUG` environment variable. More information: https://golang.org/doc/go1.15#commonname ### File Provider The file parser has been changed, since v2.3 the unknown options/fields in a dynamic configuration file are treated as errors. ### IngressClass In `v2.3`, the support of `IngressClass`, which is available since Kubernetes version `1.18`, has been introduced. In order to be able to use this new resource the [Kubernetes RBAC](../reference/dynamic-configuration/kubernetes-crd.md#rbac) must be updated. ## v2.3 to v2.4 ### ServersTransport In `v2.4.0`, the support of `ServersTransport` has been introduced. It is therefore necessary to update [RBAC](../reference/dynamic-configuration/kubernetes-crd.md#rbac) and [CRD](../reference/dynamic-configuration/kubernetes-crd.md) definitions. ## v2.4.7 to v2.4.8 ### Non-ASCII Domain Names In `v2.4.8`, we introduced a new check on domain names used in HTTP router rule `Host` and `HostRegexp` expressions, and in TCP router rule `HostSNI` expression. This check ensures that provided domain names don't contain non-ASCII characters. If not, an error is raised, and the associated router will be shown as invalid in the dashboard. This new behavior is intended to show what was failing silently previously and to help troubleshooting configuration issues. It doesn't change the support for non-ASCII domain names in routers rules, which is not part of the Traefik feature set so far. In order to use non-ASCII domain names in a router's rule, one should use the Punycode form of the domain name. For more information, please read the [HTTP routers rule](../routing/routers/index.md#rule) part or [TCP router rules](../routing/routers/index.md#rule_1) part of the documentation. ## v2.4.8 to v2.4.9 ### Tracing Span In `v2.4.9`, we changed span error to log only server errors (>= 500). ## v2.4.9 to v2.4.10 ### K8S CrossNamespace In `v2.4.10`, the default value for `allowCrossNamespace` has been changed to `false`. ### K8S ExternalName Service In `v2.4.10`, by default, it is no longer authorized to reference Kubernetes ExternalName services. To allow it, the `allowExternalNameServices` option should be set to `true`. ## v2.4 to v2.5 ### Kubernetes CRD In `v2.5`, the [Traefik CRDs](../reference/dynamic-configuration/kubernetes-crd.md#definitions) have been updated to support the new API version `apiextensions.k8s.io/v1`. As required by `apiextensions.k8s.io/v1`, we have included the OpenAPI validation schema. After deploying the new [Traefik CRDs](../reference/dynamic-configuration/kubernetes-crd.md#definitions), the resources will be validated only on creation or update. Please note that the unknown fields will not be pruned when migrating from `apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1` to `apiextensions.k8s.io/v1` CRDs. For more details check out the official [documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/extend-kubernetes/custom-resources/custom-resource-definitions/#specifying-a-structural-schema). ### Kubernetes Ingress Traefik v2.5 moves forward for the Ingress provider to support Kubernetes v1.22. Traefik now supports only v1.14+ Kubernetes clusters, which means the support of `extensions/v1beta1` API Version ingresses has been dropped. The `extensions/v1beta1` API Version should now be replaced either by `networking.k8s.io/v1beta1` or by `networking.k8s.io/v1` (as of Kubernetes v1.19+). The support of the `networking.k8s.io/v1beta1` API Version will stop in Kubernetes v1.22. ### Headers middleware: ssl redirect options `sslRedirect`, `sslTemporaryRedirect`, `sslHost` and `sslForceHost` are deprecated in Traefik v2.5. For simple HTTP to HTTPS redirection, you may use [EntryPoints redirections](../routing/entrypoints.md#redirection). For more advanced use cases, you can use either the [RedirectScheme middleware](../middlewares/http/redirectscheme.md) or the [RedirectRegex middleware](../middlewares/http/redirectregex.md). ### Headers middleware: accessControlAllowOrigin `accessControlAllowOrigin` is no longer supported in Traefik v2.5. ### X.509 CommonName Deprecation Bis Following up on the deprecation started [previously](#x509-commonname-deprecation), as the `x509ignoreCN=0` value for the `GODEBUG` is [deprecated in Go 1.17](https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.17#crypto/x509), the legacy behavior related to the CommonName field can not be enabled at all anymore. ## v2.5.3 to v2.5.4 ### Errors middleware In `v2.5.4`, when the errors service is configured with the [`PassHostHeader`](../routing/services/index.md#pass-host-header) option to `true` (default), the forwarded Host header value is now set to the client request Host value and not `0.0.0.0`. Check out the [Errors middleware](../middlewares/http/errorpages.md#service) documentation for more details. ## v2.5 to v2.6 ### HTTP/3 Traefik v2.6 introduces the `AdvertisedPort` option, which allows advertising, in the `Alt-Svc` header, a UDP port different from the one on which Traefik is actually listening (the EntryPoint's port). By doing so, it introduces a new configuration structure `http3`, which replaces the `enableHTTP3` option (which therefore doesn't exist anymore). To enable HTTP/3 on an EntryPoint, please check out the [HTTP/3 configuration](../routing/entrypoints.md#http3) documentation. ### Kubernetes Gateway API Provider In `v2.6`, the [Kubernetes Gateway API provider](../providers/kubernetes-gateway.md) now only supports the version [v1alpha2](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/v1alpha2/guides/) of the specification and [route namespaces](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/v1alpha2/references/spec/#gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1beta1.RouteNamespaces) selectors, which requires Traefik to fetch and watch the cluster namespaces. Therefore, the [RBAC](../reference/dynamic-configuration/kubernetes-gateway.md#rbac) and [CRD](../reference/dynamic-configuration/kubernetes-gateway.md#definitions) definitions must be updated. ## v2.6.0 to v2.6.1 ### Metrics In `v2.6.1`, the metrics system does not support any more custom HTTP method verbs to prevent potential metrics cardinality overhead. In consequence, for metrics having the method label, if the HTTP method verb of a request is not one defined in the set of common methods for [`HTTP/1.1`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods) or the [`PRI`](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7540#section-11.6) verb (for `HTTP/2`), the value for the method label becomes `EXTENSION_METHOD`, instead of the request's one. ### Tracing In `v2.6.1`, the Datadog tags added to a span changed from `service.name` to `traefik.service.name` and from `router.name` to `traefik.router.name`. ## v2.8 ### TLS client authentication In `v2.8`, the `caOptional` option is deprecated as TLS client authentication is a server side option. This option available in the ForwardAuth middleware, as well as in the HTTP, Consul, Etcd, Redis, ZooKeeper, Marathon, Consul Catalog, and Docker providers has no effect and must not be used anymore. ### Consul Enterprise Namespaces In `v2.8`, the `namespace` option of Consul and Consul Catalog providers is deprecated, please use the `namespaces` options instead. ### Traefik Pilot In `v2.8`, the `pilot.token` and `pilot.dashboard` options are deprecated. Please check our Blog for migration instructions later this year. ## v2.8.2 Since `v2.5.0`, the `PreferServerCipherSuites` is [deprecated and ignored](https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.17#crypto/tls) by Go, in `v2.8.2` the `preferServerCipherSuites` option is also deprecated and ignored in Traefik. In `v2.8.2`, Traefik now reject certificates signed with the SHA-1 hash function. ([details](https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.18#sha1)) ## v2.9 ### Traefik Pilot In `v2.9`, Traefik Pilot support has been removed.
