# Traefik & File
|
|
|
|
Good Old Configuration File
|
|
{: .subtitle }
|
|
|
|
The file provider lets you define the [dynamic configuration](./overview.md) in a YAML or TOML file.
|
|
|
|
It supports providing configuration through a [single configuration file](#filename) or [multiple separate files](#directory).
|
|
|
|
!!! info
|
|
|
|
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 solution for reusing common elements from other providers (e.g. declaring whitelist middlewares, basic authentication, ...)
|
|
|
|
## Configuration Examples
|
|
|
|
??? example "Declaring Routers, Middlewares & Services"
|
|
|
|
Enabling the file provider:
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="File (YAML)"
|
|
providers:
|
|
file:
|
|
directory: "/path/to/dynamic/conf"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```toml tab="File (TOML)"
|
|
[providers.file]
|
|
directory = "/path/to/dynamic/conf"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash tab="CLI"
|
|
--providers.file.directory=/path/to/dynamic/conf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Declaring Routers, Middlewares & Services:

|
|
[[http.services.service-foo.loadBalancer.servers]]
|
|
url = "http://bar/"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Provider Configuration
|
|
|
|
For an overview of all the options that can be set with the file provider, see the [dynamic configuration](../reference/dynamic-configuration/file.md) and [static configuration](../reference/static-configuration/overview.md) references.
|
|
|
|
!!! warning "Limitations"
|
|
|
|
With the file provider, Traefik listens for file system notifications to update the dynamic configuration.
|
|
|
|
If you use a mounted/bound file system in your orchestrator (like docker or kubernetes), the way the files are linked may be a source of errors.
|
|
If the link between the file systems is broken, when a source file/directory is changed/renamed, nothing will be reported to the linked file/directory, so the file system notifications will be neither triggered nor caught.
|
|
|
|
For example, in Docker, if the host file is renamed, the link to the mounted file is broken and the container's file is no longer updated.
|
|
To avoid this kind of issue, it is recommended to:
|
|
|
|
* set the Traefik [**directory**](#directory) configuration with the parent directory
|
|
* mount/bind the parent directory
|
|
|
|
As it is very difficult to listen to all file system notifications, Traefik uses [fsnotify](https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify).
|
|
If using a directory with a mounted directory does not fix your issue, please check your file system compatibility with fsnotify.
|
|
|
|
### `filename`
|
|
|
|
Defines the path to the configuration file.
|
|
|
|
!!! warning ""
|
|
|
|
The `filename` and `directory` options are mutually exclusive.
|
|
It is recommended to use `directory`.
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="File (YAML)"
|
|
providers:
|
|
file:
|
|
filename: /path/to/config/dynamic_conf.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```toml tab="File (TOML)"
|
|
[providers]
|
|
[providers.file]
|
|
filename = "/path/to/config/dynamic_conf.toml"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash tab="CLI"
|
|
--providers.file.filename=/path/to/config/dynamic_conf.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `directory`
|
|
|
|
Defines the path to the directory that contains the configuration files.
|
|
|
|
!!! warning ""
|
|
|
|
The `filename` and `directory` options are mutually exclusive.
|
|
It is recommended to use `directory`.
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="File (YAML)"
|
|
providers:
|
|
file:
|
|
directory: /path/to/config
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```toml tab="File (TOML)"
|
|
[providers]
|
|
[providers.file]
|
|
directory = "/path/to/config"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash tab="CLI"
|
|
--providers.file.directory=/path/to/config
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `watch`
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="File (YAML)"
|
|
providers:
|
|
file:
|
|
directory: /path/to/dynamic/conf
|
|
watch: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```toml tab="File (TOML)"
|
|
[providers]
|
|
[providers.file]
|
|
directory = "/path/to/dynamic/conf"
|
|
watch = true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash tab="CLI"
|
|
--providers.file.directory=/my/path/to/dynamic/conf
|
|
--providers.file.watch=true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Go Templating
|
|
|
|
!!! warning
|
|
|
|
Go Templating only works with dedicated dynamic configuration files.
|
|
Templating does not work in the Traefik main static configuration file.
|
|
|
|
Traefik supports using Go templating to automatically generate repetitive sections of configuration files.
|
|
These sections must be a valid [Go template](https://pkg.go.dev/text/template/), and can use
|
|
[sprig template functions](https://masterminds.github.io/sprig/).
|
|
|
|
To illustrate, it is possible to easily define multiple routers, services, and TLS certificates as described in the following examples:
|
|
|
|
