/api/providers GET Providers
/api/providers/{provider} GET, PUT Get or update provider (1)
/api/providers/{provider}/backends GET List backends
/api/providers/{provider}/backends/{backend} GET Get backend
/api/providers/{provider}/backends/{backend}/servers GET List servers in backend
/api/providers/{provider}/backends/{backend}/servers/{server} GET Get a server in a backend
/api/providers/{provider}/frontends GET List frontends

<1> See Rest for more information.

!!! warning For compatibility reason, when you activate the rest provider, you can use web or rest as provider value. But be careful, in the configuration for all providers the key is still web.

Address / Port

You can define a custom address/port like this:

defaultEntryPoints = ["http"]

[entryPoints]
  [entryPoints.http]
  address = ":80"

  [entryPoints.foo]
  address = ":8082"

  [entryPoints.bar]
  address = ":8083"

[ping]
entryPoint = "foo"

[api]
entryPoint = "bar"

In the above example, you would access a regular path, administration panel, and health-check as follows:

  • Regular path: http://hostname:80/path
  • Admin Panel: http://hostname:8083/
  • Ping URL: http://hostname:8082/ping

In the above example, it is very important to create a named dedicated entry point, and do not include it in defaultEntryPoints. Otherwise, you are likely to expose all services via that entry point.

Custom Path

You can define a custom path like this:

defaultEntryPoints = ["http"]

[entryPoints]
  [entryPoints.http]
  address = ":80"

  [entryPoints.foo]
  address = ":8080"

  [entryPoints.bar]
  address = ":8081"

# Activate API and Dashboard
[api]
entryPoint = "bar"
dashboard = true

[file]
  [backends]
    [backends.backend1]
      [backends.backend1.servers.server1]
      url = "http://127.0.0.1:8081"

  [frontends]
    [frontends.frontend1]
    entryPoints = ["foo"]
    backend = "backend1"
      [frontends.frontend1.routes.test_1]
      rule = "PathPrefixStrip:/yourprefix;PathPrefix:/yourprefix"

Authentication

You can define the authentication like this:

defaultEntryPoints = ["http"]

[entryPoints]
  [entryPoints.http]
  address = ":80"

 [entryPoints.foo]
   address=":8080"
   [entryPoints.foo.auth]
     [entryPoints.foo.auth.basic]
       users = [
         "test:$apr1$H6uskkkW$IgXLP6ewTrSuBkTrqE8wj/",
         "test2:$apr1$d9hr9HBB$4HxwgUir3HP4EsggP/QNo0",
       ]

[api]
entrypoint="foo"

For more information, see entry points .
