Traefik is a powerful and modern reverse proxy and load balancer that makes deploying and managing microservices easy. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Traefik on OpenSUSE latest.
Before starting, make sure you have the following:
If you don’t have Docker installed on your server, you can install it using the following command:
sudo zypper install docker
Once the installation is complete, start the Docker service and enable it to start at boot time:
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
Traefik can be easily installed using Docker. To install Traefik, run the following command:
sudo docker run -d \
-p 80:80 \
-p 8080:8080 \
-p 443:443 \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
-v $PWD/traefik.toml:/traefik.toml \
traefik:v2.5
This command will pull the Traefik image from Docker Hub and start a new container with Traefik running. The -d flag tells Docker to run the container in the background.
The command also maps the following ports:
It also mounts two volumes:
/var/run/docker.sock to grant Traefik access to the Docker API$PWD/traefik.toml to mount the Traefik configuration fileOnce Traefik is installed and running, you can test it by visiting the Traefik dashboard by entering the following URL in your web browser:
http://<YOUR_IP_ADDRESS>:8080/dashboard/
Replace <YOUR_IP_ADDRESS> with the IP address of your server.
If you can see the Traefik dashboard, then your installation was successful.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Traefik on OpenSUSE latest. With Traefik, you can easily deploy and manage microservices with ease.
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!
