tls:
insecureSkipVerify: true
--providers.consulcatalog.endpoint.tls.insecureskipverify=true
If insecureSkipVerify
is true
, TLS for the connection to Consul server accepts any certificate presented by the server and any host name in that certificate.
exposedByDefault
Optional, Default=true
[providers.consulCatalog]
exposedByDefault = false
# ...
providers:
consulCatalog:
exposedByDefault: false
# ...
--providers.consulcatalog.exposedByDefault=false
# ...
Expose Consul Catalog services by default in Traefik.
If set to false, services that don't have a traefik.enable=true
label will be ignored from the resulting routing configuration.
See also Restrict the Scope of Service Discovery.
defaultRule
Optional, Default=Host(`{{ normalize .Name }}`)
[providers.consulCatalog]
defaultRule = "Host(`{{ .Name }}.{{ index .Labels \"customLabel\"}}`)"
# ...
providers:
consulCatalog:
defaultRule: "Host(`{{ .Name }}.{{ index .Labels \"customLabel\"}}`)"
# ...
--providers.consulcatalog.defaultRule="Host(`{{ .Name }}.{{ index .Labels \"customLabel\"}}`)"
# ...
The default host rule for all services.
For a given container if no routing rule was defined by a label, it is defined by this defaultRule instead.
It must be a valid Go template,
augmented with the sprig template functions.
The service name can be accessed as the Name
identifier,
and the template has access to all the labels defined on this container.
This option can be overridden on a container basis with the traefik.http.routers.Router1.rule
label.
constraints
Optional, Default=""
[providers.consulCatalog]
constraints = "Label(`a.label.name`, `foo`)"
# ...
providers:
consulCatalog:
constraints: "Label(`a.label.name`, `foo`)"
# ...
--providers.consulcatalog.constraints="Label(`a.label.name`, `foo`)"
# ...
Constraints is an expression that Traefik matches against the container's labels to determine whether to create any route for that container. That is to say, if none of the container's labels match the expression, no route for the container is created. If the expression is empty, all detected containers are included.
The expression syntax is based on the Label("key", "value")
, and LabelRegex("key", "value")
functions, as well as the usual boolean logic, as shown in examples below.
??? example "Constraints Expression Examples"
```toml
# Includes only containers having a label with key `a.label.name` and value `foo`
constraints = "Label(`a.label.name`, `foo`)"
```
```toml
# Excludes containers having any label with key `a.label.name` and value `foo`
constraints = "!Label(`a.label.name`, `value`)"
```
```toml
# With logical AND.
constraints = "Label(`a.label.name`, `valueA`) && Label(`another.label.name`, `valueB`)"
```
```toml
# With logical OR.
constraints = "Label(`a.label.name`, `valueA`) || Label(`another.label.name`, `valueB`)"
```
```toml
# With logical AND and OR, with precedence set by parentheses.
constraints = "Label(`a.label.name`, `valueA`) && (Label(`another.label.name`, `valueB`) || Label(`yet.another.label.name`, `valueC`))"
```
```toml
# Includes only containers having a label with key `a.label.name` and a value matching the `a.+` regular expression.
constraints = "LabelRegex(`a.label.name`, `a.+`)"
```
