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
# Default: empty
#
# 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
#
# ingressClass = "traefik-internal"

# Disable PassHost Headers.
#
# Optional
# Default: false
#
# disablePassHostHeaders = true

# Enable PassTLSCert Headers.
#
# Optional
# Default: false
#
# enablePassTLSCert = true

# Override default configuration template.
#
# Optional
# 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.

Annotations

General annotations

The following general annotations are applicable on the Ingress object:

Annotation Description

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

foo:
  status:
  - "404"
  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
  foo:
    period: 6s
    average: 12

!!! 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 following annotations are applicable on the Service object associated with a particular Ingress object:

ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-headers: EXPR Provides a list of headers that the proxied hostname may be stored. Format: HEADER1,HEADER2
ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: "true" Forces the frontend to redirect to SSL if a non-SSL request is sent.
ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-temporary-redirect: "true" Forces the frontend to redirect to SSL if a non-SSL request is sent, but by sending a 302 instead of a 301.
ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-host: HOST This setting configures the hostname that redirects will be based on. Default is "", which is the same host as the request.
ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-proxy-headers: EXPR Header combinations that would signify a proper SSL Request (Such as X-Forwarded-For:https). Format: HEADER:value||HEADER2:value2
ingress.kubernetes.io/hsts-max-age: "315360000" Sets the max-age of the HSTS header.

ingress.kubernetes.io/is-development: "false" This will cause the AllowedHosts, SSLRedirect, and STSSeconds/STSIncludeSubdomains options to be ignored during development.
When deploying to production, be sure to set this to false.

Authentication

Is possible to add additional authentication annotations to the Ingress object. The source of the authentication is a Secret object that contains the credentials.

Annotation Description
ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-type: basic Contains the authentication type. The only permitted type is basic.
ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-secret: mysecret Name of Secret containing the username and password with access to the paths defined in the Ingress object.

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.
