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!
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Quickstart
|
||
|
||
You can have a quick look at Træfɪk in this [Katacoda tutorial](https://www.katacoda.com/courses/traefik/deploy-load-balancer) that shows how to load balance requests between multiple Docker containers.
|
||
|
||
Here is a talk given by [Ed Robinson](https://github.com/errm) at the [ContainerCamp UK](https://container.camp) conference.
|
||
You will learn fundamental Træfɪk features and see some demos with Kubernetes.

Here is a talk (in French) given by [Emile Vauge](https://github.com/emilevauge) at the [Devoxx France 2016](http://www.devoxx.fr) conference.
|
||
You will learn fundamental Træfɪk features and see some demos with Docker, Mesos/Marathon and Let's Encrypt.

## Get it
|
||
|
||
### Binary
|
||
|
||
You can 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
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Docker
|
||
|
||
Using the tiny Docker image:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 80:80 -v $PWD/traefik.toml:/etc/traefik/traefik.toml traefik
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Test it
|
||
|
||
You can test Træfɪk easily using [Docker compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose), with this `docker-compose.yml` file:
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
traefik:
|
||
image: traefik
|
||
command: --web --docker --docker.domain=docker.localhost --logLevel=DEBUG
|
||
ports:
|
||
- "80:80"
|
||
- "8080:8080"
|
||
volumes:
|
||
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
|
||
- /dev/null:/traefik.toml
|
||
|
||
whoami1:
|
||
image: emilevauge/whoami
|
||
labels:
|
||
- "traefik.backend=whoami"
|
||
- "traefik.frontend.rule=Host:whoami.docker.localhost"
|
||
|
||
whoami2:
|
||
image: emilevauge/whoami
|
||
labels:
|
||
- "traefik.backend=whoami"
|
||
- "traefik.frontend.rule=Host:whoami.docker.localhost"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then, start it:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
docker-compose up -d
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Finally, test load-balancing between the two servers `whoami1` and `whoami2`:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ curl -H Host:whoami.docker.localhost http://127.0.0.1
|
||
Hostname: ef194d07634a

||
