Traefik
Traefik is a modern reverse proxy that auto-discovers services. v3.0 (2025) supports Wasm Plugins and the Kubernetes Gateway API.
When to Use
- Docker/K8s: It watches the Docker socket or K8s API and reconfigures itself automatically. No config file edits needed for new services.
- Ease of Use: Automatic Let's Encrypt (ACME) integration is best-in-class.
- Middleware: Built-in auth (Basic, ForwardAuth), rate limiting, and circuit breakers.
Quick Start (Docker Compose)
labels:
- "traefik.enable=true"
- "traefik.http.routers.my-app.rule=Host(`example.com`)"
- "traefik.http.routers.my-app.entrypoints=websecure"
- "traefik.http.routers.my-app.tls.certresolver=myresolver"
Core Concepts
Providers
Sources of configuration (Docker, Kubernetes, File, Consul).
EntryPoints
Network ports (80, 443).
Routers
Connect requests to Services based on Rules (Host, Path).
Middleware
Modify requests (StripPrefix, Compress, Auth).
Best Practices (2025)
Do:
- Use v3 syntax: Adhere to the structure of
routersandservices. - Use Dashboard: The web UI is great for debugging routing issues.
- Use Let's Encrypt: TLS challenge handling is seamless.
Don't:
- Don't expose Dashboard publicly: It reveals infrastructure details. Secure it with middleware.
