# Quick Start
|
|
|
|
A Use Case Using Docker
|
|
{: .subtitle }
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Launch Traefik With the Docker Provider
|
|
|
|
Create a `docker-compose.yml` file where you will define a `reverse-proxy` service that uses the official Traefik image:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
version: '3'
|
|
|
|
services:
|
|
reverse-proxy:
|
|
# The official v3 Traefik docker image
|
|
image: traefik:v3.2
|
|
# Enables the web UI and tells Traefik to listen to docker
|
|
command: --api.insecure=true --providers.docker
|
|
ports:
|
|
# The HTTP port
|
|
- "80:80"
|
|
# The Web UI (enabled by --api.insecure=true)
|
|
- "8080:8080"
|
|
volumes:
|
|
# So that Traefik can listen to the Docker events
|
|
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**That's it. Now you can launch Traefik!**
|
|
|
|
Start your `reverse-proxy` with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
docker-compose up -d reverse-proxy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can open a browser and go to `http://localhost:8080/api/rawdata` to see Traefik's API rawdata (you'll go back there once you have launched a service in step 2).
|
|
|
|
## Traefik Detects New Services and Creates the Route for You
|
|
|
|
Now that you have a Traefik instance up and running, you will deploy new services.
|
|
|
|
Edit your `docker-compose.yml` file and add the following at the end of your file.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
version: '3'
|
|
|
|
services:
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
whoami:
|
|
# A container that exposes an API to show its IP address
|
|
image: traefik/whoami
|
|
labels:
|
|
- "traefik.http.routers.whoami.rule=Host(`whoami.docker.localhost`)"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The above defines `whoami`: a web service that outputs information about the machine it is deployed on (its IP address, host, and others).
|
|
|
|
Start the `whoami` service with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
docker-compose up -d whoami
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Browse `http://localhost:8080/api/rawdata` and see that Traefik has automatically detected the new container and updated its own configuration.
|
|
|
|
When Traefik detects new services, it creates the corresponding routes, so you can call them ... _let's see!_ (Here, you're using curl)
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
curl -H Host:whoami.docker.localhost http://127.0.0.1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
_Shows the following output:_
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
Hostname: a656c8ddca6c
|
|
IP: 172.27.0.3
|
|
#...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## More Instances? Traefik Load Balances Them
|
|
|
|
Run more instances of your `whoami` service with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
docker-compose up -d --scale whoami=2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Browse to `http://localhost:8080/api/rawdata` and see that Traefik has automatically detected the new instance of the container.
|
|
|
|
Finally, see that Traefik load-balances between the two instances of your service by running the following command twice:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
curl -H Host:whoami.docker.localhost http://127.0.0.1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The output will show alternatively one of the following:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
Hostname: a656c8ddca6c
|
|
IP: 172.27.0.3
|
|
#...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
Hostname: s458f154e1f1
|
|
IP: 172.27.0.4
|
|
# ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
!!! question "Where to Go Next?"
|
|
|
|
Now that you have a basic understanding of how Traefik can automatically create the routes to your services and load balance them, it is time to dive into [the user guides](../../user-guides/docker-compose/basic-example/ "Link to the user guides") and [the documentation](/ "Link to the docs landing page") and let Traefik work for you!
