Hi all!
I’ve a background as Linux sysadmin (not much, couple of years) and I’m facing the challenge to setup a Kubernetes cluster.
One of the requirements is to use Traefik.
I’m finding A LOT of how to online but they are all different from each other.
Do you know a good guide to do such things? The K8s cluster is up and running, Traefik is the problem.
I can get it up, access the dashboard, but that’s all. I tried to test it using the example application “whoami” and I can see the app in the dashboard but I can access it only by localhost curl on the node where it runs.
Thanks a lot!
So, there are a few ways to configure it. But- I’ll run down basic steps.
apiVersion: traefik.containo.us/v1alpha1 kind: IngressRoute metadata: name: plex namespace: media spec: entryPoints: - websecure routes: - match: Host(`plex.xtremeownage.com`) kind: Rule services: - name: plex port: 32400
On your DNS server (Your local network, not K8s), point, plex.yourdomain.com at the IP you provisioned for traefik.
In my network, I pointed *.kube.mydomain.com to the IP of my traefik service/LB.
So, anytime I browser to anything at *.kube.mydomain.com, it automatically sends the request to treaefik. From that point, traefik sends it to the service.
That, should get you started.
Definitely a good start. This K3s ansible playbook will provision a cluster for you (with traefik installed).

With a few tweaks you can install metallb which will give traefik a static IP, a few DNS entries and you’ll be good to go.
