Install as a DaemonSet

Default install is using a Deployment but it's possible to use DaemonSet

deployment:
  kind: DaemonSet

Install in a dedicated namespace, with limited RBAC

Default install is using Cluster-wide RBAC but it can be restricted to target namespace.

rbac:
  namespaced: true

Install with auto-scaling

When enabling HPA to adjust replicas count according to CPU Usage, you'll need to set resources and nullify replicas.

deployment:
  replicas: null
resources:
  requests:
    cpu: "100m"
    memory: "50Mi"
  limits:
    cpu: "300m"
    memory: "150Mi"
autoscaling:
  enabled: true
  maxReplicas: 2
  metrics:
  - type: Resource
    resource:
      name: cpu
      target:
        type: Utilization
        averageUtilization: 80

Access Traefik dashboard without exposing it

This HelmChart does not expose the Traefik dashboard by default, for security concerns. Thus, there are multiple ways to expose the dashboard. For instance, the dashboard access could be achieved through a port-forward :

kubectl port-forward $(kubectl get pods --selector "app.kubernetes.io/name=traefik" --output=name) 9000:9000

Accessible with the url: http://127.0.0.1:9000/dashboard/

Publish and protect Traefik Dashboard with basic Auth

To expose the dashboard in a secure way as recommended in the documentation, it may be useful to override the router rule to specify a domain to match, or accept requests on the root path (/) in order to redirect them to /dashboard/.

# Create an IngressRoute for the dashboard
ingressRoute:
  dashboard:
    enabled: true
    # Custom match rule with host domain
    matchRule: Host(`traefik-dashboard.example.com`)
    entryPoints: ["websecure"]
    # Add custom middlewares : authentication and redirection
    middlewares:
      - name: traefik-dashboard-auth

# Create the custom middlewares used by the IngressRoute dashboard (can also be created in another way).
# /!\ Yes, you need to replace "changeme" password with a better one. /!\
extraObjects:
  - apiVersion: v1
    kind: Secret
    metadata:
      name: traefik-dashboard-auth-secret
    type: kubernetes.io/basic-auth
    stringData:
      username: admin
      password: changeme

  - apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
    kind: Middleware
    metadata:
      name: traefik-dashboard-auth
    spec:
      basicAuth:
        secret: traefik-dashboard-auth-secret

Publish and protect Traefik Dashboard with an Ingress

To expose the dashboard without IngressRoute, it's more complicated and less secure. You'll need to create an internal Service exposing Traefik API with special traefik entrypoint.

You'll need to double check:

  1. Service selector with your setup.
  2. Middleware annotation on the ingress, default should be replaced with traefik's namespace
ingressRoute:
  dashboard:
    enabled: false
additionalArguments:
- "--api.insecure=true"
# Create the service, middleware and Ingress used to expose the dashboard (can also be created in another way).
# /!\ Yes, you need to replace "changeme" password with a better one. /!\
extraObjects:
  - apiVersion: v1
    kind: Service
    metadata:
      name: traefik-api
    spec:

Install on AWS

It can use native AWS support on Kubernetes

service:
  annotations:
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-type: nlb

Or if AWS LB controller is installed :

service:
  annotations:
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-type: nlb-ip

Install on GCP

A regional IP with a Service can be used

service:
  spec:
    loadBalancerIP: "1.2.3.4"

Or a global IP on Ingress

service:
  type: NodePort
extraObjects:
  - apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
    kind: Ingress
    metadata:
      name: traefik
      annotations:
        kubernetes.io/ingress.global-static-ip-name: "myGlobalIpName"
    spec:
      defaultBackend:
        service:
          name: traefik
          port:
            number: 80

Install on Azure

A static IP on a resource group can be used:

service:
  spec:
    loadBalancerIP: "1.2.3.4"
  annotations:
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/azure-load-balancer-resource-group: myResourceGroup

Use HTTP3

By default, it will use a Load balancers with mixed protocols on websecure entrypoint. They are available since v1.20 and in beta as of Kubernetes v1.24. Availability may depend on your Kubernetes provider.

When using TCP and UDP with a single service, you may encounter this issue from Kubernetes. If you want to avoid this issue, you can set ports.websecure.http3.advertisedPort to an other value than 443

ports:
  websecure:
    http3:
      enabled: true

Use ProxyProtocol on Digital Ocean

PROXY protocol is a protocol for sending client connection information, such as origin IP addresses and port numbers, to the final backend server, rather than discarding it at the load balancer.

service:
  enabled: true
  type: LoadBalancer
  annotations:
    # This will tell DigitalOcean to enable the proxy protocol.
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/do-loadbalancer-enable-proxy-protocol: "true"
  spec:
    # This is the default and should stay as cluster to keep the DO health checks working.
    externalTrafficPolicy: Cluster

additionalArguments:
  # Tell Traefik to only trust incoming headers from the Digital Ocean Load Balancers.
  - "--entryPoints.web.proxyProtocol.trustedIPs=127.0.0.1/32,10.120.0.0/16"
  - "--entryPoints.websecure.proxyProtocol.trustedIPs=127.0.0.1/32,10.120.0.0/16"
  # Also whitelist the source of headers to trust,  the private IPs on the load balancers displayed on the networking page of DO.
  - "--entryPoints.web.forwardedHeaders.trustedIPs=127.0.0.1/32,10.120.0.0/16"
  - "--entryPoints.websecure.forwardedHeaders.trustedIPs=127.0.0.1/32,10.120.0.0/16"

Enable plugin storage

This chart follows common security practices: it runs as non root with a readonly root filesystem. When enabling a plugin which needs storage, you have to add it to the deployment.

Here is a simple example with crowdsec. You may want to replace with your plugin or see complete exemple on crowdsec here.

deployment:
  additionalVolumes:
  - name: plugins
additionalVolumeMounts:
- name: plugins
  mountPath: /plugins-storage
additionalArguments:
- "--experimental.plugins.bouncer.moduleName=github.com/maxlerebourg/crowdsec-bouncer-traefik-plugin"
- "--experimental.plugins.bouncer.version=v1.1.9"

Use Traefik native Let's Encrypt integration, without cert-manager

In Traefik Proxy, ACME certificates are stored in a JSON file.

This file needs to have 0600 permissions, meaning, only the owner of the file has full read and write access to it. By default, Kubernetes recursively changes ownership and permissions for the content of each volume.

=> An initContainer can be used to avoid an issue on this sensitive file. See #396 for more details.

persistence:
  enabled: true
  storageClass: xxx
certResolvers:
  letsencrypt:
    dnsChallenge:
      provider: cloudflare
    storage: /data/acme.json
env:
  - name: CF_DNS_API_TOKEN
    valueFrom:
      secretKeyRef:
        name: yyy
        key: zzz
deployment:
  initContainers:
    - name: volume-permissions
      image: busybox:latest
      command: ["sh", "-c", "touch /data/acme.json; chmod -v 600 /data/acme.json"]

This example needs a CloudFlare token in a Kubernetes Secret and a working StorageClass.

See the list of supported providers for others.

Provide default certificate with cert-manager and CloudFlare DNS

Setup:

  • cert-manager installed in cert-manager namespace
  • A cloudflare account on a DNS Zone

Step 1: Create Secret and Issuer needed by cert-manager with your API Token. See cert-manager documentation for creating this token with needed rights:

---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: cloudflare
  namespace: traefik
type: Opaque
stringData:
  api-token: XXX
---
apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1
kind: Issuer
metadata:
  name: cloudflare
  namespace: traefik
spec:
  acme:
    server: https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
    email: email@example.com
    privateKeySecretRef:
      name: cloudflare-key
    solvers:
      - dns01:
          cloudflare:
            email: email@example.com
            apiTokenSecretRef:
              name: cloudflare
              key: api-token

Step 2: Create Certificate in traefik namespace

apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1
kind: Certificate
metadata:
  name: wildcard-example-com
  namespace: traefik
spec:
  secretName: wildcard-example-com-tls
  dnsNames:
    - "example.com"
    - "*.example.com"
  issuerRef:
    name: cloudflare
    kind: Issuer

Step 3: Check that it's ready

kubectl get certificate -n traefik

If needed, logs of cert-manager pod can give you more information

Step 4: Use it on the TLS Store in values.yaml file for this Helm Chart

tlsStore:
  default:
    defaultCertificate:
      secretName: wildcard-example-com-tls

Step 5: Enjoy. All your IngressRoute use this certificate by default now.

They should use websecure entrypoint like this:

apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
kind: IngressRoute
metadata:
  name: example-com-tls
spec:
  entryPoints:
    - websecure
  routes:
  - match: Host(`test.example.com`)
    kind: Rule
    services:
    - name: XXXX
      port: 80
