Traefik & File

Good Old Configuration File {: .subtitle }

The file provider lets you define the dynamic configuration in a toml file. You can write these configuration elements:

!!! note The file provider is the default format used throughout the documentation to show samples of the configuration for many features.

!!! tip The file provider can be a good location for common elements you'd like to re-use from other providers; e.g. declaring whitelist middlewares, basic authentication, ...

Configuration Examples

??? example "Declaring Routers, Middlewares & Services"

``` toml
# Enabling the file provider
[providers.files]

[http]
  # Add the router
  [http.routers]
    [http.routers.router0]
      entrypoints = ["web"]
      middlewares = ["my-basic-auth"]
      service = "service-foo"
      rule = "Path(`foo`)"

    # Add the middleware
    [http.middlewares]    
      [http.middlewares.my-basic-auth.BasicAuth]
        users = ["test:$apr1$H6uskkkW$IgXLP6ewTrSuBkTrqE8wj/", 
                  "test2:$apr1$d9hr9HBB$4HxwgUir3HP4EsggP/QNo0"]
        usersFile = "etc/traefik/.htpasswd"
    
    # Add the service
    [http.services]
      [http.services.service-foo]
        [http.services.service-foo.LoadBalancer]
          method = "wrr"
          [[http.services.service-foo.LoadBalancer.Servers]]
            url = "http://foo/"
            weight = 30
          [[http.services.service-foo.LoadBalancer.Servers]]
            url = "http://bar/"
            weight = 70
```

Provider Configuration Options

!!! tip "Browse the Reference" If you're in a hurry, maybe you'd rather go through the File Reference.

filename (Optional)

Defines the path of the configuration file.

[providers]
  [providers.file]
    filename = "rules.toml"

directory (Optional)

Defines the directory that contains the configuration files.

[providers]
  [providers.file]
    directory = "/path/to/config"

watch (Optional)

Set the watch option to true to allow Traefik to automatically watch for file changes.
It works with both the filename and the directory options.

[providers]
  [providers.file]
    filename = "rules.toml"
    watch = true

TOML Templating

!!! warning TOML templating only works along with dedicated configuration files. Templating does not work in the Traefik main configuration file.

Traefik allows using TOML templating.
Thus, it's possible to define easily lot of routers, services and TLS certificates as described in the file template-rules.toml :

??? example "Configuring Using Templating"

```toml
# template-rules.toml
[http]

  [http.routers]
  {{ range $i, $e := until 100 }}
    [http.routers.router{{ $e }}]
    # ...
  {{ end }}  
  
  
  [http.Services]
  {{ range $i, $e := until 100 }}
      [http.services.service{{ $e }}]
      # ...
  {{ end }}  
  
[tcp]

  [tcp.routers]
  {{ range $i, $e := until 100 }}
    [tcp.routers.router{{ $e }}]
    # ...
  {{ end }}  
  
  
  [tcp.Services]
  {{ range $i, $e := until 100 }}
      [http.services.service{{ $e }}]
      # ...
  {{ end }}  

{{ range $i, $e := until 10 }}
[[TLS]]
  Store = ["my-store-foo-{{ $e }}", "my-store-bar-{{ $e }}"]
  [TLS.Certificate]
    CertFile = "/etc/traefik/cert-{{ $e }}.pem"
    KeyFile = "/etc/traefik/cert-{{ $e }}.key"
{{ end }}

[TLSConfig]
{{ range $i, $e := until 10 }}
  [TLSConfig.TLS{{ $e }}]
  # ...
{{ end }}

```
