Træfɪk is a modern HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer made to deploy microservices with ease. It supports several backends (Docker 🐳, Mesos/Marathon, Consul, Etcd, Zookeeper, BoltDB, Rest API, file...) to manage its configuration automatically and dynamically.

• It's fast
• No dependency hell, single binary made with go
• Simple json Rest API
• Simple TOML file configuration
• Multiple backends supported: Docker, Mesos/Marathon, Consul, Etcd, and more to come
• Watchers for backends, can listen change in backends to apply a new configuration automatically
• Hot-reloading of configuration. No need to restart the process
• Graceful shutdown http connections
• Circuit breakers on backends
• Round Robin, rebalancer load-balancers
• Rest Metrics
• Tiny docker image included
• SSL backends support
• SSL frontend support
• Clean AngularJS Web UI
• Websocket support
• HTTP/2 support

Here is a demo of Træfɪk using Docker backend, showing a load-balancing between two servers, hot reloading of configuration, and graceful shutdown.

You can access to a simple HTML frontend of Træfik.

• Oxy: an awsome proxy library made by Mailgun guys
• Gorilla mux: famous request router
• Negroni: web middlewares made simple
• Manners: graceful shutdown of http.Handler servers

• The simple way: grab the latest binary from the releases page and just run it with the sample configuration file:

./traefik -c traefik.toml

• Use the tiny Docker image:

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 80:80 -v $PWD/traefik.toml:/etc/traefik/traefik.toml containous/traefik

• From sources:

git clone https://github.com/containous/traefik
