Traefik & Nomad Service Discovery

A Story of Tags, Services & Nomads {: .subtitle }

Nomad Service Discovery

Attach tags to your Nomad services and let Traefik do the rest!

Configuration Examples

??? example "Configuring Nomad & Deploying Services"

Enabling the nomad provider

```yaml tab="File (YAML)"
providers:
  nomad: {}
```

```toml tab="File (TOML)"
[providers.nomad]
```

```bash tab="CLI"
--providers.nomad=true
```

Attaching tags to services:

```
...
service {
  name = "myService"
  tags = [
    "traefik.http.routers.my-router.rule=Host(`example.com`)",
  ]
}
...
```

Routing Configuration

See the dedicated section in routing.

Provider Configuration

refreshInterval

Optional, Default=15s

Defines the polling interval.

providers:
  nomad:
    refreshInterval: 30s
    # ...
[providers.nomad]
  refreshInterval = "30s"
  # ...
--providers.nomad.refreshInterval=30s
# ...

prefix

required, Default="traefik"

The prefix for Nomad service tags defining Traefik labels.

providers:
  nomad:
    prefix: test
    # ...
[providers.nomad]
  prefix = "test"
  # ...
--providers.nomad.prefix=test
# ...

stale

Optional, Default=false

Use stale consistency for Nomad service API reads.

!!! note ""

This makes reads very fast and scalable at the cost of a higher likelihood of stale values.

For more information, see the Nomad [documentation on consistency](https://www.nomadproject.io/api-docs#consistency-modes).
providers:
  nomad:
    stale: true
    # ...
[providers.nomad]
  stale = true
  # ...
--providers.nomad.stale=true
# ...

endpoint

Defines the Nomad server endpoint.

address

Defines the address of the Nomad server.

Optional, Default="http://127.0.0.1:4646"

providers:
  nomad:
    endpoint:
      address: http://127.0.0.1:4646
    # ...
[providers.nomad]
  [providers.nomad.endpoint]
    address = "http://127.0.0.1:4646"
    # ...
--providers.nomad.endpoint.address=http://127.0.0.1:4646
# ...

token

Optional, Default=""

Token is used to provide a per-request ACL token, if Nomad ACLs are enabled.

providers:
  nomad:
    endpoint:
      token: test
    # ...
[providers.nomad]
  [providers.nomad.endpoint]
    token = "test"
    # ...
--providers.nomad.endpoint.token=test
# ...

endpointWaitTime

Optional, Default=""

Limits the duration for which a Watch can block. If not provided, the agent default values will be used.

providers:
  nomad:
    endpoint:
      endpointWaitTime: 15s
    # ...
[providers.nomad]
  [providers.nomad.endpoint]
    endpointWaitTime = "15s"
    # ...
--providers.nomad.endpoint.endpointwaittime=15s
# ...

tls

Optional

Defines the TLS configuration used for the secure connection to the Nomad API.

ca

Optional

ca is the path to the certificate authority used for the secure connection to Nomad, it defaults to the system bundle.

providers:
  nomad:
    endpoint:
      tls:
        ca: path/to/ca.crt
[providers.nomad.endpoint.tls]
  ca = "path/to/ca.crt"
--providers.nomad.endpoint.tls.ca=path/to/ca.crt
cert

Optional

cert is the path to the public certificate used for the secure connection to the Nomad API. When using this option, setting the key option is required.

providers:
  nomad:
    endpoint:
      tls:
        cert: path/to/foo.cert
        key: path/to/foo.key
[providers.nomad.endpoint.tls]
  cert = "path/to/foo.cert"
  key = "path/to/foo.key"
--providers.nomad.endpoint.tls.cert=path/to/foo.cert
--providers.nomad.endpoint.tls.key=path/to/foo.key
key

Optional

key is the path to the private key used for the secure connection to the Nomad API. When using this option, setting the cert option is required.

providers:
  nomad:
    endpoint:
      tls:
        cert: path/to/foo.cert
        key: path/to/foo.key
[providers.nomad.endpoint.tls]
  cert = "path/to/foo.cert"
  key = "path/to/foo.key"
--providers.nomad.endpoint.tls.cert=path/to/foo.cert
--providers.nomad.endpoint.tls.key=path/to/foo.key
insecureSkipVerify

Optional, Default=false

If insecureSkipVerify is true, the TLS connection to Nomad accepts any certificate presented by the server regardless of the hostnames it covers.

providers:
  nomad:
    endpoint:
      tls:
        insecureSkipVerify: true
[providers.nomad.endpoint.tls]
  insecureSkipVerify = true
--providers.nomad.endpoint.tls.insecureskipverify=true

exposedByDefault

Optional, Default=true

Expose Nomad services by default in Traefik. If set to false, services that do not have a traefik.enable=true tag will be ignored from the resulting routing configuration.

For additional information, refer to Restrict the Scope of Service Discovery.

providers:
  nomad:
    exposedByDefault: false
    # ...
[providers.nomad]
  exposedByDefault = false
  # ...
--providers.nomad.exposedByDefault=false
# ...

defaultRule

Optional, Default=Host(`{{ normalize .Name }}`)

The default host rule for all services.

For a given service, if no routing rule was defined by a tag, it is defined by this defaultRule instead. The defaultRule must be set to a valid Go template, and can include sprig template functions. The service name can be accessed with the Name identifier, and the template has access to all the labels (i.e. tags beginning with the prefix) defined on this service.

The option can be overridden on an instance basis with the traefik.http.routers.{name-of-your-choice}.rule tag.

providers:
  nomad:
    defaultRule: "Host(`{{ .Name }}.{{ index .Labels \"customLabel\"}}`)"
    # ...
[providers.nomad]
  defaultRule = "Host(`{{ .Name }}.{{ index .Labels \"customLabel\"}}`)"
  # ...
--providers.nomad.defaultRule="Host(`{{ .Name }}.{{ index .Labels \"customLabel\"}}`)"
# ...

constraints

Optional, Default=""

The constraints option can be set to an expression that Traefik matches against the service tags to determine whether to create any route for that service. If none of the service tags match the expression, no route for that service is created. If the expression is empty, all detected services are included.

The expression syntax is based on the Tag(`tag`), and TagRegex(`tag`) functions, as well as the usual boolean logic, as shown in examples below.

??? example "Constraints Expression Examples"

```toml
# Includes only services having the tag `a.tag.name=foo`
constraints = "Tag(`a.tag.name=foo`)"
```

```toml
# Excludes services having any tag `a.tag.name=foo`
constraints = "!Tag(`a.tag.name=foo`)"
```

```toml
# With logical AND.
constraints = "Tag(`a.tag.name`) && Tag(`another.tag.name`)"
```

```toml
# With logical OR.
constraints = "Tag(`a.tag.name`) || Tag(`another.tag.name`)"
```

```toml
# With logical AND and OR, with precedence set by parentheses.
constraints = "Tag(`a.tag.name`) && (Tag(`another.tag.name`) || Tag(`yet.another.tag.name`))"
```

```toml
# Includes only services having a tag matching the `a\.tag\.t.+` regular expression.
constraints = "TagRegex(`a\.tag\.t.+`)"
```
providers:
  nomad:
    constraints: "Tag(`a.tag.name`)"
    # ...
[providers.nomad]
  constraints = "Tag(`a.tag.name`)"
  # ...
--providers.nomad.constraints="Tag(`a.tag.name`)"
# ...

For additional information, refer to Restrict the Scope of Service Discovery.

namespaces

Optional, Default=""

The namespaces option defines the namespaces in which the nomad services will be discovered. When using the namespaces option, the discovered object names will be suffixed as shown below:

<resource-name>@nomad-<namespace>

!!! warning

One should only define either the `namespaces` option or the `namespace` option.
providers:
  nomad:
    namespaces:
      - "ns1"
      - "ns2"
    # ...
[providers.nomad]
  namespaces = ["ns1", "ns2"]
  # ...
--providers.nomad.namespaces=ns1,ns2
# ...
