Træfɪk is a modern HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer made to deploy microservices with ease.
|
||
It supports several backends ([Docker](https://www.docker.com/), [Swarm](https://docs.docker.com/swarm), [Mesos/Marathon](https://mesosphere.github.io/marathon/), [Consul](https://www.consul.io/), [Etcd](https://coreos.com/etcd/), [Zookeeper](https://zookeeper.apache.org), [BoltDB](https://github.com/boltdb/bolt), Rest API, file...) to manage its configuration automatically and dynamically.
|
||
|
||
## Overview
|
||
|
||
Imagine that you have deployed a bunch of microservices on your infrastructure. You probably used a service registry (like etcd or consul) and/or an orchestrator (swarm, Mesos/Marathon) to manage all these services.
|
||
If you want your users to access some of your microservices from the Internet, you will have to use a reverse proxy and configure it using virtual hosts or prefix paths:
|
||
|
||
- domain `api.domain.com` will point the microservice `api` in your private network
|
||
- path `domain.com/web` will point the microservice `web` in your private network
|
||
- domain `backoffice.domain.com` will point the microservices `backoffice` in your private network, load-balancing between your multiple instances
|
||
|
||
But a microservices architecture is dynamic... Services are added, removed, killed or upgraded often, eventually several times a day.
|
||
|
||
Traditional reverse-proxies are not natively dynamic. You can't change their configuration and hot-reload easily.
|
||
|
||
Here enters Træfɪk.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Træfɪk can listen to your service registry/orchestrator API, and knows each time a microservice is added, removed, killed or upgraded, and can generate its configuration automatically.
|
||
Routes to your services will be created instantly.
|
||
|
||
Run it and forget it!

## Plumbing
|
||
|
||
- [Oxy](https://github.com/vulcand/oxy): an awsome proxy library made by Mailgun guys
|
||
- [Gorilla mux](https://github.com/gorilla/mux): famous request router
|
||
- [Negroni](https://github.com/codegangsta/negroni): web middlewares made simple
|
||
- [Manners](https://github.com/mailgun/manners): graceful shutdown of http.Handler servers
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Quick start
|
||
|
||
- The simple way: grab the latest binary from the [releases](https://github.com/containous/traefik/releases) page and just run it with the [sample configuration file](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/containous/traefik/master/traefik.sample.toml):
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
./traefik -c traefik.toml
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- Use the tiny Docker image:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 80:80 -v $PWD/traefik.toml:/etc/traefik/traefik.toml containous/traefik
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- From sources:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
git clone https://github.com/containous/traefik
|
||
```
