# Clustering / High Availability on Docker Swarm with Consul
|
|
|
|
This guide explains how to use Træfik in high availability mode in a Docker Swarm and with Let's Encrypt.
|
|
|
|
Why do we need Træfik in cluster mode? Running multiple instances should work out of the box?
|
|
|
|
If you want to use Let's Encrypt with Træfik, sharing configuration or TLS certificates between many Træfik instances, you need Træfik cluster/HA.
|
|
|
|
Ok, could we mount a shared volume used by all my instances? Yes, you can, but it will not work.
|
|
When you use Let's Encrypt, you need to store certificates, but not only.
|
|
When Træfik generates a new certificate, it configures a challenge and once Let's Encrypt will verify the ownership of the domain, it will ping back the challenge.
|
|
If the challenge is not knowing by other Træfik instances, the validation will fail.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
You will need a working Docker Swarm cluster.
|
|
|
|
## Træfik configuration
|
|
|
|
In this guide, we will not use a TOML configuration file, but only command line flag.
|
|
With that, we can use the base image without mounting configuration file or building custom image.
|
|
|
|
What Træfik should do:
|
|
|
|
- Listen to 80 and 443
|
|
- Redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS
|
|
- Generate SSL certificate when a domain is added
|
|
- Listen to Docker Swarm event
|
|
|
|
### EntryPoints configuration
|
|
|
|
TL;DR:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ traefik \
|
|
--entrypoints=Name:http Address::80 Redirect.EntryPoint:https \
|
|
--entrypoints=Name:https Address::443 TLS \
|
|
--defaultentrypoints=http,https
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To listen to different ports, we need to create an entry point for each.
|
|
|
|
The CLI syntax is `--entrypoints=Name:a_name Address:an_ip_or_empty:a_port options`.
|
|
If you want to redirect traffic from one entry point to another, it's the option `Redirect.EntryPoint:entrypoint_name`.
|
|
|
|
By default, we don't want to configure all our services to listen on http and https, we add a default entry point configuration: `--defaultentrypoints=http,https`.
|
|
|
|
### Let's Encrypt configuration
|
|
|
|
TL;DR:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ traefik \
|
|
--acme \
|
|
--acme.storage=/etc/traefik/acme/acme.json \
|
|
--acme.entryPoint=https \
|
|
--acme.httpChallenge.entryPoint=http \
|
|
--acme.email=contact@mydomain.ca
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Let's Encrypt needs 4 parameters: an TLS entry point to listen to, a non-TLS entry point to allow HTTP challenges, a storage for certificates, and an email for the registration.
|
|
|
|
To enable Let's Encrypt support, you need to add `--acme` flag.
|
|
|
|
Now, Træfik needs to know where to store the certificates, we can choose between a key in a Key-Value store, or a file path: `--acme.storage=my/key` or `--acme.storage=/path/to/acme.json`.
|
|
|
|
The `acme.httpChallenge.entryPoint` flag enables the `HTTP-01` challenge and specifies the entryPoint to use during the challenges.
|
|
|
|
For your email and the entry point, it's `--acme.entryPoint` and `--acme.email` flags.
|
|
|
|
### Docker configuration
|
|
|
|
TL;DR:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ traefik \
|
|
--docker \
|
|
--docker.swarmmode \
|
|
--docker.domain=mydomain.ca \
|
|
--docker.watch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To enable docker and swarm-mode support, you need to add `--docker` and `--docker.swarmmode` flags.
|
|
To watch docker events, add `--docker.watch`.
|
|
|
|

## Migrate configuration to Consul
|
|
|
|
We created a special Træfik command to help configuring your Key Value store from a Træfik TOML configuration file and/or CLI flags.
|
|
|
|
## Deploy a Træfik cluster
|
|
|
|
The best way we found is to have an initializer service.
|
|
This service will push the config to Consul via the `storeconfig` sub-command.
|
|
|
|
This service will retry until finishing without error because Consul may not be ready when the service tries to push the configuration.
|
|
|
|
The initializer in a docker-compose file will be:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
traefik_init:
|
|
image: traefik:1.5
|
|
command:
|
|
- "storeconfig"
|
|
- "--api"
|
|
[...]
|
|
- "--consul"
|
|
- "--consul.endpoint=consul:8500"
|
|
- "--consul.prefix=traefik"
|
|
networks:
|
|
- traefik
|
|
deploy:
|
|
restart_policy:
|
|
condition: on-failure
|
|
depends_on:
|
|
- consul
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And now, the Træfik part will only have the Consul configuration.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
traefik:
|
|
image: traefik:1.5
|
|
depends_on:
|
|
- traefik_init
|
|
- consul
|
|
command:
|
|
- "--consul"
|
|
- "--consul.endpoint=consul:8500"
|
|
- "--consul.prefix=traefik"
|
|
[...]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
For Træfik <1.5.0 add `acme.storage=traefik/acme/account` because Træfik is not reading it from Consul.
|
|
|
|
If you have some update to do, update the initializer service and re-deploy it.
|
|
The new configuration will be stored in Consul, and you need to restart the Træfik node: `docker service update --force traefik_traefik`.
