Traefik v3

Cloud-native reverse proxy and load balancer with automatic service discovery. Traefik connects incoming requests to backend services using dynamic configuration from providers (Kubernetes, Docker, etc.).

Quick Start (Kubernetes Helm)

helm repo add traefik https://traefik.github.io/charts
helm install traefik traefik/traefik

Install CRDs manually (if needed):

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/traefik/traefik/v3.6/docs/content/reference/dynamic-configuration/kubernetes-crd-definition-v1.yml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/traefik/traefik/v3.6/docs/content/reference/dynamic-configuration/kubernetes-crd-rbac.yml

Core Concepts

Component Description
EntryPoints Network ports where Traefik listens (e.g., :80, :443)
Routers Match incoming requests using rules (Host, Path, Headers)
Services Define backend targets with load balancing
Middlewares Transform requests/responses (auth, headers, redirects)
Providers Configuration sources (Kubernetes, Docker, File)
