Træfɪk is a modern HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer made to deploy microservices with ease.
It supports several backends ([Docker :whale:](https://www.docker.com/), [Mesos/Marathon](https://mesosphere.github.io/marathon/), [Consul](https://consul.io/), [Etcd](https://coreos.com/etcd/), Rest API, file...) to manage its configuration automatically and dynamically.

* 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 during hot-reloads
* Circuit breakers on backends
* Round Robin, rebalancer load-balancers
* Rest Metrics
* Tiny docker image included
* SSL backends support
* SSL frontend support
* WebUI
# Plumbing
* [Oxy](https://github.com/mailgun/oxy/): an awsome proxy library made by Mailgun guys
* [Gorilla mux](https://github.com/gorilla/mux): famous request router
* [Negroni](https://github.com/codegangsta/negroni): web middlewares made simple
* [Graceful](https://github.com/tylerb/graceful): graceful shutdown of http.Handler servers
# Quick start
* The simple way: grab the latest binary from the [releases](https://github.com/emilevauge/traefik/releases) page and just run it with the [sample configuration file](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EmileVauge/traefik/master/traefik.sample.toml):
```
./traefik traefik.toml
```
* Use the tiny Docker image:
```
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 80:80 -v $PWD/traefik.toml:/traefik.toml emilevauge/traefik
```
* From sources:
```
git clone https://github.com/EmileVauge/traefik
```

## Building
You need either [Docker](https://github.com/docker/docker) and
``make``, or `go` and `godep` in order to build traefik.
### Using Docker and Makefile
You need to run the ``binary`` target. This will create binaries for
linux and darwin platforms in the `dist` folder.
```bash
$ make binary
docker build -t "traefik-dev:your-feature-branch" -f build.Dockerfile .
# […]
docker run --rm -it -e OS_ARCH_ARG -e OS_PLATFORM_ARG -e TESTFLAGS -v "/home/vincent/src/github/vdemeester/traefik/dist:/go/src/github.com/emilevauge/traefik/dist" "traefik-dev:your-feature-branch" ./script/make.sh generate binary
---> Making bundle: generate (in .)
removed 'gen.go'
---> Making bundle: binary (in .)
Number of parallel builds: 8
--> linux/arm: github.com/emilevauge/traefik
--> darwin/amd64: github.com/emilevauge/traefik
--> darwin/386: github.com/emilevauge/traefik
--> linux/386: github.com/emilevauge/traefik
--> linux/amd64: github.com/emilevauge/traefik
$ ls dist/
traefik* traefik_darwin-386* traefik_darwin-amd64* traefik_linux-386* traefik_linux-amd64* traefik_linux-arm*
```
### Using `godep`
The idea behind `godep` is the following :
- when checkout(ing) a project, **run `godep restore`** to install
(`go get …`) the dependencies in the `GOPATH`.
- if you need another dependency, `go get` it, import and use it in
the source, and **run `godep save ./...` to save it in
`Godeps/Godeps.json` and vendoring it in `Godeps/_workspace/src`.
```bash
$ godep restore
# Simple go build
$ godep go build
# Using gox to build multiple platform
$ GOPATH=`godep path`:$GOPATH gox "linux darwin" "386 amd64 arm" \
-output="dist/traefik_{{.OS}}-{{.Arch}}"
# run other commands like tests
$ godep go test ./...
ok _/home/vincent/src/github/vdemeester/traefik 0.004s
```
## Tests
You can run unit tests using the `test-unit` target and the
integration test using the `test-integration` target.
```bash
$ make test-unit
docker build -t "traefik-dev:your-feature-branch" -f build.Dockerfile .
# […]
docker run --rm -it -e OS_ARCH_ARG -e OS_PLATFORM_ARG -e TESTFLAGS -v "/home/vincent/src/github/vdemeester/traefik/dist:/go/src/github.com/emilevauge/traefik/dist" "traefik-dev:your-feature-branch" ./script/make.sh generate test-unit
---> Making bundle: generate (in .)
