Marathon Backend

Træfik can be configured to use Marathon as a backend configuration.

See also Marathon user guide.

Configuration

################################################################
# Mesos/Marathon configuration backend
################################################################

# Enable Marathon configuration backend.
[marathon]

# Marathon server endpoint.
# You can also specify multiple endpoint for Marathon:
# endpoint = "http://10.241.1.71:8080,10.241.1.72:8080,10.241.1.73:8080"
#
# Required
# Default: "http://127.0.0.1:8080"
#
endpoint = "http://127.0.0.1:8080"

# Enable watch Marathon changes.
#
# Optional
# Default: true
#
watch = true

# Default domain used.
# Can be overridden by setting the "traefik.domain" label on an application.
#
# Required
#
domain = "marathon.localhost"

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

# Expose Marathon apps by default in Traefik.
#
# Optional
# Default: true
#
# exposedByDefault = false

# Convert Marathon groups to subdomains.
# Default behavior: /foo/bar/myapp => foo-bar-myapp.{defaultDomain}
# with groupsAsSubDomains enabled: /foo/bar/myapp => myapp.bar.foo.{defaultDomain}
#
# Optional
# Default: false
#
# groupsAsSubDomains = true

# Enable compatibility with marathon-lb labels.
#
# Optional
# Default: false
#
# marathonLBCompatibility = true

# Enable filtering using Marathon constraints..
# If enabled, Traefik will read Marathon constraints, as defined in https://mesosphere.github.io/marathon/docs/constraints.html
# Each individual constraint will be treated as a verbatim compounded tag. 
# i.e. "rack_id:CLUSTER:rack-1", with all constraint groups concatenated together using ":"
#
# Optional
# Default: false
#
# filterMarathonConstraints = true

# Enable Marathon basic authentication.
#
# Optional
#
#    [marathon.basic]
#    httpBasicAuthUser = "foo"
#    httpBasicPassword = "bar"

# TLS client configuration. https://golang.org/pkg/crypto/tls/#Config
#
# Optional
#
#    [marathon.TLS]
#    CA = "/etc/ssl/ca.crt"
#    Cert = "/etc/ssl/marathon.cert"
#    Key = "/etc/ssl/marathon.key"
#    InsecureSkipVerify = true

# DCOSToken for DCOS environment.
# This will override the Authorization header.
#
# Optional
#
# dcosToken = "xxxxxx"

# Override DialerTimeout.
# Amount of time to allow the Marathon provider to wait to open a TCP connection
# to a Marathon master.
# Can be provided in a format supported by [time.ParseDuration](https://golang.org/pkg/time/#ParseDuration) or as raw
# values (digits).
# If no units are provided, the value is parsed assuming seconds.
#
# Optional
# Default: "60s"
#
# dialerTimeout = "60s"

# Set the TCP Keep Alive interval for the Marathon HTTP Client.
# Can be provided in a format supported by [time.ParseDuration](https://golang.org/pkg/time/#ParseDuration) or as raw
# values (digits).
# If no units are provided, the value is parsed assuming seconds.
#
# Optional
# Default: "10s"
#
# keepAlive = "10s"

# By default, a task's IP address (as returned by the Marathon API) is used as
# backend server if an IP-per-task configuration can be found; otherwise, the
# name of the host running the task is used.
# The latter behavior can be enforced by enabling this switch.
#
# Optional
# Default: false
#
# forceTaskHostname = true

# Applications may define readiness checks which are probed by Marathon during
# deployments periodically and the results exposed via the API.
# Enabling the following parameter causes Traefik to filter out tasks
# whose readiness checks have not succeeded.
# Note that the checks are only valid at deployment times.
# See the Marathon guide for details.
#
# Optional
# Default: false
#
# respectReadinessChecks = true

To enable constraints see backend-specific constraints section.

Labels: overriding default behaviour

Marathon labels may be used to dynamically change the routing and forwarding behaviour.

They may be specified on one of two levels: Application or service.

Application Level

The following labels can be defined on Marathon applications. They adjust the behaviour for the entire application.

Label	Description
traefik.backend=foo	assign the application to foo backend
traefik.backend.maxconn.amount=10	set a maximum number of connections to the backend. Must be used in conjunction with the below label to take effect.
traefik.backend.maxconn.extractorfunc=client.ip	set the function to be used against the request to determine what to limit maximum connections to the backend by. Must be used in conjunction with the above label to take effect.
traefik.backend.loadbalancer.method=drr	override the default wrr load balancer algorithm
traefik.backend.loadbalancer.sticky=true	enable backend sticky sessions (DEPRECATED)
traefik.backend.loadbalancer.stickiness=true	enable backend sticky sessions
traefik.backend.loadbalancer.stickiness.cookieName=NAME	Manually set the cookie name for sticky sessions
traefik.backend.circuitbreaker.expression=NetworkErrorRatio() > 0.5	create a circuit breaker to be used against the backend
traefik.backend.healthcheck.path=/health	set the Traefik health check path [default: no health checks]
traefik.backend.healthcheck.interval=5s	sets a custom health check interval in Go-parseable (time.ParseDuration) format [default: 30s]
traefik.portIndex=1	register port by index in the application's ports array. Useful when the application exposes multiple ports.
traefik.port=80	register the explicit application port value. Cannot be used alongside traefik.portIndex.
traefik.protocol=https	override the default http protocol
traefik.weight=10	assign this weight to the application
traefik.enable=false	disable this application in Træfik
traefik.frontend.rule=Host:test.traefik.io	override the default frontend rule (Default: Host:{containerName}.{domain}).
traefik.frontend.passHostHeader=true	forward client Host header to the backend.
traefik.frontend.priority=10	override default frontend priority
traefik.frontend.entryPoints=http,https	assign this frontend to entry points http and https. Overrides defaultEntryPoints.
traefik.frontend.auth.basic=EXPR	Sets basic authentication for that frontend in CSV format: User:Hash,User:Hash.

Service Level

For applications that expose multiple ports, specific labels can be used to extract one frontend/backend configuration pair per port. Each such pair is called a service. The (freely choosable) name of the service is an integral part of the service label name.

Label	Description
traefik.<service-name>.port=443	create a service binding with frontend/backend using this port. Overrides traefik.port.
traefik.<service-name>.portIndex=1	create a service binding with frontend/backend using this port index. Overrides traefik.portIndex.
traefik.<service-name>.protocol=https	assign https protocol. Overrides traefik.protocol.
traefik.<service-name>.weight=10	assign this service weight. Overrides traefik.weight.
traefik.<service-name>.frontend.backend=fooBackend	assign this service frontend to foobackend. Default is to assign to the service backend.
traefik.<service-name>.frontend.entryPoints=http	assign this service entrypoints. Overrides traefik.frontend.entrypoints.
traefik.<service-name>.frontend.auth.basic=test:EXPR	Sets basic authentication for that frontend in CSV format: User:Hash,User:Hash
traefik.<service-name>.frontend.passHostHeader=true	Forward client Host header to the backend. Overrides traefik.frontend.passHostHeader.
traefik.<service-name>.frontend.priority=10	assign the service frontend priority. Overrides traefik.frontend.priority.
traefik.<service-name>.frontend.rule=Path:/foo	assign the service frontend rule. Overrides traefik.frontend.rule.
