HTTPS (& TCP over TLS) for everyone!
There are hundreds of reasons why I love being a developer (besides memories of sleepless nights trying to fix a video game that nobody except myself would ever play).
Being a developer gives you superpowers — you can solve any kind of problems. Yes, especially if they don’t involve real-life practical situations.
But these superpowers are sometimes hindered by tedious configuration work that expects you to master yet another arcane language assembled with heaps of words you’ve never seen before. Such a barrier can be encountered when dealing with HTTPS and its certificates.
Luckily for us, Traefik tends to lower this kind of hurdle and makes sure that there are easy ways of securely connecting your developments to the outside world. …
Tips & Tricks the Documentation Doesn’t Tell You
co-authored with Ludovic Fernandez (@ldez)
Docker friends — Welcome!
Today we decided to dedicate some time to walk you through the 2.0 changes using practical & common scenarios. Hopefully, after having read this article, you’ll understand every concept there is to know, and you’ll keep learning by yourself, discovering tips & tricks to share with the community.
Before we go further, I’ll assume for this article that you already have a docker setup using Traefik 2.0. Since I like to use docker-compose files for basic demonstrations, I’ll use the following base compose file:
version: "3.3"services:
traefik:
image: "traefik:v2.0.0"
command:
- --entrypoints.web.address=:80
- --providers.docker=true
ports:
- "80:80"
- "8080:8080"
volumes:
- "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro" …
The Wait Is Over!
When we started our journey toward 2.0, we had high expectations (since you had high expectations), and huddled around the whiteboard.
We designed Version 2 as if there were no constraints: we forgot our codebase, put aside technical challenges, and developed a new configuration structure that would welcome everything we had ever dreamed of for Traefik.
We forgot what was impossible so we could build it!
A year later, we proudly present to you Traefik 2.0. …
