Web Backend¶

DEPRECATED

The web provider is deprecated, please use the api, the ping, the metrics and the rest provider.

Træfik can be configured:

using a RESTful api.
to use a monitoring system (like Prometheus, DataDog or StatD, ...).
to expose a Web Dashboard.

Configuration¶

# Enable web backend.
[web]

# Web administration port.
#
# Required
# Default: ":8080"
#
address = ":8080"

# SSL certificate and key used.
#
# Optional
#
# certFile = "traefik.crt"
# keyFile = "traefik.key"

# Set REST API to read-only mode.
#
# Optional
# Default: false
#
readOnly = true

# Set the root path for webui and API
#
# Deprecated
# Optional
#
# path = "/mypath"
#

Authentication¶

Note

The /ping path of the API is excluded from authentication (since 1.4).

Basic Authentication¶

Passwords can be encoded in MD5, SHA1 and BCrypt: you can use htpasswd to generate those ones.

Users can be specified directly in the TOML file, or indirectly by referencing an external file; if both are provided, the two are merged, with external file contents having precedence.

[web]
# ...

# To enable basic auth on the webui with 2 user/pass: test:test and test2:test2
[web.auth.basic]
users = ["test:$apr1$H6uskkkW$IgXLP6ewTrSuBkTrqE8wj/", "test2:$apr1$d9hr9HBB$4HxwgUir3HP4EsggP/QNo0"]
usersFile = "/path/to/.htpasswd"

# ...

Digest Authentication¶

You can use htdigest to generate those ones.

Users can be specified directly in the TOML file, or indirectly by referencing an external file; if both are provided, the two are merged, with external file contents having precedence

[web]
# ...

# To enable digest auth on the webui with 2 user/realm/pass: test:traefik:test and test2:traefik:test2
[web.auth.digest]
users = ["test:traefik:a2688e031edb4be6a3797f3882655c05", "test2:traefik:518845800f9e2bfb1f1f740ec24f074e"]
usersFile = "/path/to/.htdigest"

# ...

Metrics¶

You can enable Træfik to export internal metrics to different monitoring systems.

Prometheus¶

[web]
# ...

# To enable Traefik to export internal metrics to Prometheus
[web.metrics.prometheus]

buckets=[0.1,0.3,1.2,5.0]

# ...

# Required
# Default: "localhost:8125"
#
address = "localhost:8125"

# DataDog push interval
#
# Optional
# Default: "10s"
#
pushinterval = "10s"

Deprecation compatibility¶

Address¶

As the web provider is deprecated, you can handle the Address option like this:

defaultEntryPoints = ["http"]

[entryPoints]
  [entryPoints.http]
  address = ":80"

  [entryPoints.foo]
  address = ":8082"

  [entryPoints.bar]
  address = ":8083"

[ping]
entryPoint = "foo"

[api]
entryPoint = "bar"

In the above example, you would access a regular path, administration panel, and health-check as follows:

Regular path: http://hostname:80/path
Admin Panel: http://hostname:8083/
Ping URL: http://hostname:8082/ping

In the above example, it is very important to create a named dedicated entry point, and do not include it in defaultEntryPoints. Otherwise, you are likely to expose all services via that entry point.

Path¶

As the web provider is deprecated, you can handle the Path option like this:

defaultEntryPoints = ["http"]

[entryPoints]
  [entryPoints.http]
  address = ":80"

  [entryPoints.foo]
  address = ":8080"

  [entryPoints.bar]
  address = ":8081"

# Activate API and Dashboard
[api]
entryPoint = "bar"
dashboard = true

[file]
  [backends]
    [backends.backend1]
      [backends.backend1.servers.server1]
      url = "http://127.0.0.1:8081"

  [frontends]
    [frontends.frontend1]
    entryPoints = ["foo"]
    backend = "backend1"
      [frontends.frontend1.routes.test_1]
      rule = "PathPrefixStrip:/yourprefix;PathPrefix:/yourprefix"

Authentication¶

As the web provider is deprecated, you can handle the auth option like this:

defaultEntryPoints = ["http"]

[entryPoints]
  [entryPoints.http]
  address = ":80"

 [entryPoints.foo]
   address=":8080"
   [entryPoints.foo.auth]
     [entryPoints.foo.auth.basic]
       users = [
         "test:$apr1$H6uskkkW$IgXLP6ewTrSuBkTrqE8wj/",
         "test2:$apr1$d9hr9HBB$4HxwgUir3HP4EsggP/QNo0",
       ]

[api]
entrypoint="foo"
