Rancher Provider¶

Træfik can be configured to use Rancher as a provider.

Global Configuration¶

################################################################
# Rancher Provider
################################################################

# Enable Rancher Provider.
[rancher]

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

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

# Polling interval (in seconds).
#
# Optional
# Default: 15
#
refreshSeconds = 15

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

# Filter services with unhealthy states and inactive states.
#
# Optional
# Default: false
#
enableServiceHealthFilter = true

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

To enable constraints see provider-specific constraints section.

Rancher Metadata Service¶

# Enable Rancher metadata service provider instead of the API
# provider.
#
# Optional
# Default: false
#
[rancher.metadata]

# Poll the Rancher metadata service for changes every `rancher.refreshSeconds`.
# NOTE: this is less accurate than the default long polling technique which
# will provide near instantaneous updates to Traefik
#
# Optional
# Default: false
#
intervalPoll = true

# Prefix used for accessing the Rancher metadata service.
#
# Optional
# Default: "/latest"
#
prefix = "/2016-07-29"

Rancher API¶

# Enable Rancher API provider.
#
# Optional
# Default: true
#
[rancher.api]

# Endpoint to use when connecting to the Rancher API.
#
# Required
endpoint = "http://rancherserver.example.com/v1"

# AccessKey to use when connecting to the Rancher API.
#
# Required
accessKey = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

# SecretKey to use when connecting to the Rancher API.
#
# Required
secretKey = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

Note

If Traefik needs access to the Rancher API, you need to set the endpoint, accesskey and secretkey parameters.

To enable Traefik to fetch information about the Environment it's deployed in only, you need to create an Environment API Key. This can be found within the API Key advanced options.

Add these labels to traefik docker deployment to autogenerated these values: io.rancher.container.agent.role: environment io.rancher.container.create_agent: true

Labels: overriding default behavior¶
