Security Considerations

Security Challenge with the Docker Socket

Traefik requires access to the docker socket to get its dynamic configuration, by watching the Docker API through this socket.

!!! important Depending on your context and your usage, accessing the Docker API without any restriction might be a security concern.

As explained on the Docker documentation: (Docker Daemon Attack Surface page):

[...] only **trusted** users should be allowed to control your Docker daemon [...]

If the Traefik processes (handling requests from the outside world) is attacked, then the attacker can access the Docker (or Swarm Mode) backend.

Also, when using Swarm Mode, it is mandatory to schedule Traefik's containers on the Swarm manager nodes, to let Traefik accessing the Docker Socket of the Swarm manager node.

More information about Docker's security:

• KubeCon EU 2018 Keynote, Running with Scissors, from Liz Rice
• Don't expose the Docker socket (not even to a container)
• A thread on Stack Overflow about sharing the /var/run/docker.sock file
• To Dind or not to DinD

Security Compensation

The main security compensation is to expose the Docker socket over TCP, instead of the default Unix socket file. It allows different implementation levels of the AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) concepts, depending on your security assessment:

• Authentication with Client Certificates as described in the "Protect the Docker daemon socket" page of Docker's documentation

• Authorization with the Docker Authorization Plugin Mechanism

• Accounting at networking level, by exposing the socket only inside a Docker private network, only available for Traefik.

• Accounting at container level, by exposing the socket on a another container than Traefik's. With Swarm mode, it allows scheduling of Traefik on worker nodes, with only the "socket exposer" container on the manager nodes.

• Accounting at kernel level, by enforcing kernel calls with mechanisms like SELinux, to only allows an identified set of actions for Traefik's process (or the "socket exposer" process).

Use the following ressources to get started:

• Traefik issue GH-4174 about security with Docker socket
• Inspecting Docker Activity with Socat
• Letting Traefik run on Worker Nodes
• Docker Socket Proxy from Tecnativa

Labels: overriding default behavior

Using Docker with Swarm Mode

If you use a compose file with the Swarm mode, labels should be defined in the deploy part of your service. This behavior is only enabled for docker-compose version 3+ (Compose file reference).

version: "3"
services:
  whoami:
    deploy:
      labels:
        traefik.docker.network: traefik

Using Docker Compose

If you are intending to use only Docker Compose commands (e.g. docker-compose up --scale whoami=2 -d), labels should be under your service, otherwise they will be ignored.

version: "3"
services:
  whoami:
    labels:
      traefik.docker.network: traefik

[1] traefik.docker.network:
If a container is linked to several networks, be sure to set the proper network name (you can check with docker inspect <container_id>) otherwise it will randomly pick one (depending on how docker is returning them).
For instance when deploying docker stack from compose files, the compose defined networks will be prefixed with the stack name. Or if your service references external network use it's name instead.

[2] traefik.frontend.auth.basic.users=EXPR:
To create user:password pair, it's possible to use this command:
echo $(htpasswd -nb user password) | sed -e s/\\$/\\$\\$/g.
The result will be user:$$apr1$$9Cv/OMGj$$ZomWQzuQbL.3TRCS81A1g/, note additional symbol $ makes escaping.

[3] traefik.backend.loadbalancer.swarm:
If you enable this option, Traefik will use the virtual IP provided by docker swarm instead of the containers IPs. Which means that Traefik will not perform any kind of load balancing and will delegate this task to swarm.
It also means that Traefik will manipulate only one backend, not one backend per container.

traefik.frontend.headers.SSLRedirect=true	Forces the frontend to redirect to SSL if a non-SSL request is sent.
traefik.frontend.headers.SSLTemporaryRedirect=true	Forces the frontend to redirect to SSL if a non-SSL request is sent, but by sending a 302 instead of a 301.
traefik.frontend.headers.SSLHost=HOST	This setting configures the hostname that redirects will be based on. Default is "", which is the same host as the request.
traefik.frontend.headers.SSLForceHost=true	If SSLForceHost is true and SSLHost is set, requests will be forced to use SSLHost even the ones that are already using SSL. Default is false.
traefik.frontend.headers.SSLProxyHeaders=EXPR	Header combinations that would signify a proper SSL Request (Such as X-Forwarded-For:https). Format: HEADER:value||HEADER2:value2

Segment labels override the default behavior.

traefik.<segment_name>.frontend.headers.STSPreload=true	Same as traefik.frontend.headers.STSPreload=true

!!! note If a label is defined both as a container label and a segment label (for example traefik.<segment_name>.port=PORT and traefik.port=PORT ), the segment label is used to defined the <segment_name> property (port in the example).

It's possible to mix `container labels` and `segment labels`, in this case `container labels` are used as default value for missing `segment labels` but no frontends are going to be created with the `container labels`.

More details in this [example](/user-guide/docker-and-lets-encrypt/#labels).

!!! warning When running inside a container, Traefik will need network access through:

`docker network connect <network> <traefik-container>`

usebindportip

The default behavior of Traefik is to route requests to the IP/Port of the matching container. When setting usebindportip to true, you tell Traefik to use the IP/Port attached to the container's binding instead of the inner network IP/Port.

When used in conjunction with the traefik.port label (that tells Traefik to route requests to a specific port), Traefik tries to find a binding with traefik.port port to select the container. If it can't find such a binding, Traefik falls back on the internal network IP of the container, but still uses the traefik.port that is set in the label.

Below is a recap of the behavior of usebindportip in different situations.

traefik.port label	Container's binding	Routes to
-	-	IntIP:IntPort
-	ExtPort:IntPort	IntIP:IntPort
-	ExtIp:ExtPort:IntPort	ExtIp:ExtPort
LblPort	-	IntIp:LblPort
LblPort	ExtIp:ExtPort:LblPort	ExtIp:ExtPort
LblPort	ExtIp:ExtPort:OtherPort	IntIp:LblPort
LblPort	ExtIp1:ExtPort1:IntPort1 & ExtIp2:LblPort:IntPort2	ExtIp2:LblPort

!!! note In the above table, ExtIp stands for "external IP found in the binding", IntIp stands for "internal network container's IP", ExtPort stands for "external Port found in the binding", and IntPort stands for "internal network container's port."
