Traefik & HTTP

Provide your install configuration via an HTTP(S) endpoint and let Traefik do the rest!

Configuration Example

You can enable the HTTP provider as detailed below:

providers:
  http:
    endpoint: "http://127.0.0.1:9000/api"
[providers.http]
  endpoint = "http://127.0.0.1:9000/api"
--providers.http.endpoint=http://127.0.0.1:9000/api

Configuration Options

Field Description Default Required
providers.providersThrottleDuration Minimum amount of time to wait for, after a configuration reload, before taking into account any new configuration refresh event.
If multiple events occur within this time, only the most recent one is taken into account, and all others are discarded.
