Overview

The traefik puppet module downloads, extracts and deploys the traefik-server binary and sets up the directory structure for configuration files.

Support

This module is currently tested on:

• CentOS 7

Setup

What the Traefik class affects

• Downloads and unpackages a specific release of traefik from https://github.com/containous/traefik
• Extracts download to /opt/traefik/traefik-{version}
• Creates configuration directory /etc/traefik (the actual configuration file is managed out of band)
• Creates startup scripts for traefik

Usage

Install Traefik with default settings

class {'::traefik':}

This results in /opt/traefik/traefik pointing to the current release which is 1.1.2 and the creation of /etc/traefik, the traefik service points to /etc/traefik/traefik.toml by default.

Install Traefik with custom configuration file path

class {'::traefik':
  config_file_path => '/tmp/somefile.toml',
}

Installs traefik but sets a custom path for the configuration file

Install Traefik and create custom config directory

class {'::traefik':
  config_path      => '/usr/local/config/traefik'
}

This will install traefik, create the directory /usr/local/config/traefik and point the startup script to look for a configuration file called /usr/local/config/traefik/traefik.toml
