Traefik is an open-source reverse proxy that is designed for microservices architectures. It can be used as a load balancer, API gateway, and even as a security middleware. Traefik is written in Golang and is highly available, scalable, and is easy to deploy. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Traefik on Fedora Server Latest.
Before we install Traefik, let's first install Docker, as Traefik requires it to run. To install Docker, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo dnf install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
Once the installation is complete, start the Docker service by running:
sudo systemctl start docker
To verify that Docker is running, run the following command:
sudo docker run hello-world
If the output of the command displays a message indicating that Docker is running, then Docker is successfully installed.
Now that Docker is installed, we can proceed with installing Traefik. To install Traefik, run the following command:
sudo docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --name traefik traefik:v2.4
This command will download the latest Traefik Docker image and start it in a Docker container. The -d flag is used to start Traefik in detached mode. The -p flag is used to map the container's ports to the host machine's ports. The -v flag is used to mount the Docker socket to the container, allowing Traefik to interact with the Docker API.
Now that Traefik is installed, let's verify that it's running. Open your web browser and navigate to http://<server-ip>:8080/dashboard/. If Traefik is running, you should see the Traefik dashboard.
That's it! You've successfully installed Traefik on Fedora Server Latest.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Traefik on Fedora Server Latest. Traefik is a powerful reverse proxy that is easy to deploy and scale. By following this tutorial, you should now have a working Traefik instance that you can use in your microservices architecture.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
