Traefik & Marathon¶

Traefik can be configured to use Marathon as a provider.

Routing Configuration¶

Labels

Labels are case insensitive.
The complete list of labels can be found in the reference page.

General¶

Traefik creates, for each Marathon application, a corresponding service and router.

The Service automatically gets a server per instance of the application, and the router automatically gets a rule defined by defaultRule (if no rule for it was defined in labels).

Service definition¶

In general when configuring a Traefik provider, a service assigned to one (or several) router(s) must be defined as well for the routing to be functional.

There are, however, exceptions when using label-based configurations:

If a label defines a router (e.g. through a router Rule) and a label defines a service (e.g. implicitly through a loadbalancer server port value), but the router does not specify any service, then that service is automatically assigned to the router.
If a label defines a router (e.g. through a router Rule) but no service is defined, then a service is automatically created and assigned to the router.

As one would expect, in either of these cases, if in addition a service is specified for the router, then that service is the one assigned, regardless of whether it actually is defined or whatever else other services are defined.

Automatic service assignment with labels

Service myservice gets automatically assigned to router myproxy.

labels: {
  "traefik.http.routers.myproxy.rule": "Host(`example.net`)",
  "traefik.http.services.myservice.loadbalancer.server.port": "80"
}

Automatic service creation and assignment with labels

No service specified or defined, and yet one gets automatically created. and assigned to router myproxy.

labels: {
  "traefik.http.routers.myproxy.rule": "Host(`example.net`)"
}

Routers¶

To update the configuration of the Router automatically attached to the application, add labels starting with traefik.http.routers.{router-name-of-your-choice}. and followed by the option you want to change.

For example, to change the routing rule, you could add the label "traefik.http.routers.routername.rule": "Host(`example.com`)".

The character @ is not authorized in the router name <router_name>.

traefik.http.routers.<router_name>.rule

Services¶

To update the configuration of the Service automatically attached to the container, add labels starting with traefik.http.services.{service-name-of-your-choice}., followed by the option you want to change.

Middleware¶

You can declare pieces of middleware using labels starting with traefik.http.middlewares.{middleware-name-of-your-choice}., followed by the middleware type/options.

For example, to declare a middleware redirectscheme named my-redirect, you'd write "traefik.http.middlewares.my-redirect.redirectscheme.scheme": "https".

More information about available middlewares in the dedicated middlewares section.

The character @ is not authorized in the middleware name.

Declaring and Referencing a Middleware

{
    ...
    "labels": {
        "traefik.http.middlewares.my-redirect.redirectscheme.scheme": "https",
        "traefik.http.routers.my-container.middlewares": "my-redirect"
    }
}

Conflicts in Declaration

If you declare multiple middleware with the same name but with different parameters, the middleware fails to be declared.

TCP¶

You can declare TCP Routers and/or Services using labels.

Declaring TCP Routers and Services

{
    ...
    "labels": {
        "traefik.tcp.routers.my-router.rule": "HostSNI(`example.com`)",
        "traefik.tcp.routers.my-router.tls": "true",
        "traefik.tcp.services.my-service.loadbalancer.server.port": "4123"
    }
}

TCP and HTTP

If you declare a TCP Router/Service, it will prevent Traefik from automatically creating an HTTP Router/Service (like it does by default if no TCP Router/Service is defined). You can declare both a TCP Router/Service and an HTTP Router/Service for the same container (but you have to do so manually).

"traefik.enable": "true"

Setting this option controls whether Traefik exposes the application. It overrides the value of exposedByDefault.

"traefik.marathon.ipadressidx": "1"

If a task has several IP addresses, this option specifies which one, in the list of available addresses, to select.
