Kubernetes Ingress Backend
Træfik can be configured to use Kubernetes Ingress as a backend configuration.
See also Kubernetes user guide.
Configuration
################################################################
# Kubernetes Ingress configuration backend
################################################################
# Enable Kubernetes Ingress configuration backend.
[kubernetes]
# Kubernetes server endpoint.
#
# 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

#
# certAuthFilePath = "/my/ca.crt"
# Array of namespaces to watch.
#
# Optional
# Default: all namespaces (empty array).
#
# namespaces = ["default", "production"]
# Ingress label selector to filter Ingress objects that should be processed.
#
# Optional
# Default: empty (process all Ingresses)
#
# labelselector = "A and not B"
# Value of `kubernetes.io/ingress.class` annotation that identifies Ingress objects to be processed.
# If the parameter is non-empty, only Ingresses containing an annotation with the same value are processed.
# Otherwise, Ingresses missing the annotation, having an empty value, or the value `traefik` are processed.
#
# Note : `ingressClass` option must begin with the "traefik" prefix.
#
# Optional
# Default: empty

# Default: <built-in template>
#
# filename = "kubernetes.tmpl"
endpoint
The Kubernetes server endpoint as URL.
When deployed into Kubernetes, Traefik will read the environment variables KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST
and KUBERNETES_SERVICE_PORT
to construct the endpoint.
The access token will be looked up in /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token
and the SSL CA certificate in /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/ca.crt
.
Both are provided mounted automatically when deployed inside Kubernetes.
The endpoint may be specified to override the environment variable values inside a cluster.
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 using the granted autentication and authorization of the associated kubeconfig.
labelselector
By default, Traefik processes all Ingress objects in the configured namespaces. A label selector can be defined to filter on specific Ingress objects only.
See label-selectors for details.

<1> traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/error-pages
example:
foo:
status:

backend: bar
query: /bar
fii:
status:
- "503"
- "500"
backend: bar
query: /bir
<2> traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/rate-limit
example:
extractorfunc: client.ip
rateset:
bar:
period: 3s
average: 6
burst: 9

<3> traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/buffering

retryexpression: IsNetworkError() && Attempts() <= 2
<4> traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/app-root
:
Non-root paths will not be affected by this annotation and handled normally.
This annotation may not be combined with the ReplacePath
rule type or any other annotation leveraging that rule type.
Trying to do so leads to an error and the corresponding Ingress object being ignored.
!!! note
Please note that traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/redirect-regex
and traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/redirect-replacement
do not have to be set if traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/redirect-entry-point
is defined for the redirection (they will not be used in this case).

The secret must be created in the same namespace as the Ingress object.
The following limitations hold:
- The realm is not configurable; the only supported (and default) value is
traefik
. - The Secret must contain a single file only.
