## Building
You need either [Docker](https://github.com/docker/docker) and `make` (Method 1), or `go` (Method 2) in order to build Traefik.
For changes to its dependencies, the `dep` dependency management tool is required.
### Method 1: Using `Docker` and `Makefile`
You need to run the `binary` target. This will create binaries for Linux platform in the `dist` folder.
```bash
$ make binary
docker build -t "traefik-dev:no-more-godep-ever" -f build.Dockerfile .
Sending build context to Docker daemon 295.3 MB
Step 0 : FROM golang:1.9-alpine
---> 8c6473912976
Step 1 : RUN go get github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep
[...]
docker run --rm -v "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock" -it -e OS_ARCH_ARG -e OS_PLATFORM_ARG -e TESTFLAGS -v "/home/user/go/src/github.com/containous/traefik/"dist":/go/src/github.com/containous/traefik/"dist"" "traefik-dev:no-more-godep-ever" ./script/make.sh generate binary
---> Making bundle: generate (in .)
removed 'gen.go'
---> Making bundle: binary (in .)
$ ls dist/
traefik*
```
### Method 2: Using `go`
##### Setting up your `go` environment
- You need `go` v1.9+
- It is recommended you clone Træfik into a directory like `~/go/src/github.com/containous/traefik` (This is the official golang workspace hierarchy, and will allow dependencies to resolve properly)
- Set your `GOPATH` and `PATH` variable to be set to `~/go` via:
```bash
export GOPATH=~/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
```
> Note: You will want to add those 2 export lines to your `.bashrc` or `.bash_profile`
- Verify your environment is setup properly by running `$ go env`. Depending on your OS and environment you should see output similar to:
```bash
GOARCH="amd64"
GOBIN=""
GOEXE=""
GOHOSTARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTOS="linux"
GOOS="linux"
GOPATH="/home/<yourusername>/go"
GORACE=""
## more go env's will be listed
```
##### Build Træfik
Once your environment is set up and the Træfik repository cloned you can build Træfik. You need get `go-bindata` once to be able to use `go generate` command as part of the build. The steps to build are:
```bash
cd ~/go/src/github.com/containous/traefik
# Get go-bindata. Please note, the ellipses are required
go get github.com/containous/go-bindata/...
# Start build
# generate
# (required to merge non-code components into the final binary, such as the web dashboard and provider's Go templates)
go generate
# Standard go build
go build ./cmd/traefik
# run other commands like tests
```
You will find the Træfik executable in the `~/go/src/github.com/containous/traefik` folder as `traefik`.
### Updating the templates
If you happen to update the provider templates (in `/templates`), you need to run `go generate` to update the `autogen` package.
### Setting up dependency management
[dep](https://github.com/golang/dep) is not required for building; however, it is necessary to modify dependencies (i.e., add, update, or remove third-party packages)
You need to use [dep](https://github.com/golang/dep) >= O.4.1.
If you want to add a dependency, use `dep ensure -add` to have [dep](https://github.com/golang/dep) put it into the vendor folder and update the dep manifest/lock files (`Gopkg.toml` and `Gopkg.lock`, respectively).
A following `make dep-prune` run should be triggered to trim down the size of the vendor folder.
The final result must be committed into VCS.
Here's a full example using dep to add a new dependency:
```bash
# install the new main dependency github.com/foo/bar and minimize vendor size
$ dep ensure -add github.com/foo/bar
# generate (Only required to integrate other components such as web dashboard)
$ go generate
# Standard go build
$ go build ./cmd/traefik
# run other commands like tests
```
### Tests
#### Method 1: `Docker` and `make`
You can run unit tests using the `test-unit` target and the
integration test using the `test-integration` target.
```bash
$ make test-unit
docker build -t "traefik-dev:your-feature-branch" -f build.Dockerfile .
# […]
docker run --rm -it -e OS_ARCH_ARG -e OS_PLATFORM_ARG -e TESTFLAGS -v "/home/user/go/src/github/containous/traefik/dist:/go/src/github.com/containous/traefik/dist" "traefik-dev:your-feature-branch" ./script/make.sh generate test-unit
---> Making bundle: generate (in .)
removed 'gen.go'
---> Making bundle: test-unit (in .)
+ go test -cover -coverprofile=cover.out .
ok github.com/containous/traefik 0.005s coverage: 4.1% of statements
Test success
```
For development purposes, you can specify which tests to run by using:
```bash
# Run every tests in the MyTest suite
TESTFLAGS="-check.f MyTestSuite" make test-integration
# Run the test "MyTest" in the MyTest suite
TESTFLAGS="-check.f MyTestSuite.MyTest" make test-integration
# Run every tests starting with "My", in the MyTest suite
TESTFLAGS="-check.f MyTestSuite.My" make test-integration
# Run every tests ending with "Test", in the MyTest suite
TESTFLAGS="-check.f MyTestSuite.*Test" make test-integration
```

#### Method 2: `go`
Unit tests can be run from the cloned directory by `$ go test ./...` which should return `ok` similar to:
```
ok _/home/user/go/src/github/containous/traefik 0.004s
```
Integration tests must be run from the `integration/` directory and require the `-integration` switch to be passed like this: `$ cd integration && go test -integration ./...`.
## Documentation
The [documentation site](http://docs.traefik.io/) is built with [mkdocs](http://mkdocs.org/)
### Method 1: `Docker` and `make`
You can test documentation using the `docs` target.
```bash
$ make docs
docker build -t traefik-docs -f docs.Dockerfile .
# […]
docker run --rm -v /home/user/go/github/containous/traefik:/mkdocs -p 8000:8000 traefik-docs mkdocs serve
# […]

[I 170828 20:47:48 handlers:60] Start watching changes
[I 170828 20:47:48 handlers:62] Start detecting changes
```
And go to [http://127.0.0.1:8000](http://127.0.0.1:8000).
### Method 2: `mkdocs`
First make sure you have python and pip installed
```shell
$ python --version
Python 2.7.2
$ pip --version
pip 1.5.2
```
Then install mkdocs with pip
```shell
pip install --user -r requirements.txt
```
To test documentation locally run `mkdocs serve` in the root directory, this should start a server locally to preview your changes.
```shell
$ mkdocs serve
