Consul Catalog Provider

Træfik can be configured to use service discovery catalog of Consul as a provider.

################################################################
# Consul Catalog Provider
################################################################

# Enable Consul Catalog Provider.
[consulCatalog]

# Consul server endpoint.
#
# Required
# Default: "127.0.0.1:8500"
#
endpoint = "127.0.0.1:8500"

# Expose Consul catalog services by default in Traefik.
#
# Optional
# Default: true
#
exposedByDefault = false

# Default domain used.
#
# Optional
#
domain = "consul.localhost"

# Prefix for Consul catalog tags.
#
# Optional
# Default: "traefik"
#
prefix = "traefik"

# Default frontEnd Rule for Consul services.
#
# The format is a Go Template with:
# - ".ServiceName", ".Domain" and ".Attributes" available
# - "getTag(name, tags, defaultValue)", "hasTag(name, tags)" and "getAttribute(name, tags, defaultValue)" functions are available
# - "getAttribute(...)" function uses prefixed tag names based on "prefix" value
#
# Optional
# Default: "Host:{{.ServiceName}}.{{.Domain}}"
#
#frontEndRule = "Host:{{.ServiceName}}.{{.Domain}}"

# Enable Consul catalog TLS connection.
#
# Optional
#
#    [consulCatalog.tls]
#    ca = "/etc/ssl/ca.crt"
#    cert = "/etc/ssl/consul.crt"
#    key = "/etc/ssl/consul.key"
#    insecureSkipVerify = true

# Override default configuration template.
# For advanced users :)
#
# Optional
#
# filename = "consulcatalog.tmpl"

# Override template version
# For advanced users :)
#
# Optional
# - "1": previous template version (must be used only with older custom templates, see "filename")
# - "2": current template version (must be used to force template version when "filename" is used)
#
# templateVersion = 2

This provider will create routes matching on hostname based on the service name used in Consul.

To enable constraints see provider-specific constraints section.

Examples

If you want that Træfik uses Consul tags correctly you need to defined them like that:

traefik.enable=true
traefik.tags=api
traefik.tags=external

If the prefix defined in Træfik configuration is bla, tags need to be defined like that:

bla.enable=true
bla.tags=api
bla.tags=external
