Website hosting server (think GitHub Pages) designed to deeply integrate with Traefik for routing and TLS termination.
Work in progress
Create a directory of directories, where the name of each directory is the hostname of a site you want to serve, with its content inside.
/mnt/sites
├── example.com
│ └── index.html
└── othersite.example.com
└── index.html
How the files get there is up to you. Minio, rsync
, webdav, ansible
, doesn't matter.
traefik-pages
integrates with Traefik via the HTTP provider. When Traefik hits the API, traefik-pages
lists the directories containing sites to get the hostnames required, and returns a configuration of routers for Traefik to use. These routers have rules matching the hostnames from the directories, and services matching the one specified for traefik-pages
. Traefik constantly polls traefik-pages
for an updated configuration, so newly created sites wll be quickly picked up on.
First, create a container for traefik-pages
:
traefik-pages:
image: theorangeone/traefik-pages:latest
volumes:
- ./sites:/mnt/sites:ro
environment:
- SITES_ROOT=/mnt/sites
- TRAEFIK_SERVICE=traefik-pages@docker
- AUTH_PASSWORD=hunter2
labels:
- traefik.enable=true
This doesn't need to be in the same file as Traefik, but it does need to be accessible to Traefik using a fixed hostname and IP. If Traefik is running in host mode (as I do), you'll need to bind traefik-pages
to an internal interface, and listen to that.
The label enables traefik autoconfiguration to detect traefik-pages
. Note that $TRAEFIK_SERVICE
must match the service name created by traefik.
Next, you'll need to create a HTTP provider for Traefik, using the ports and password previously configured.
providers:
...
http:
endpoint:
- "http://hunter2@127.0.0.1:5000/.traefik-pages/provider"
Here you can also configure the polling interval for traefik-pages
.
Now, simply start Traefik and traefik-pages
, and they should begin communicating and creating routers for your sites.
Configuration for traefik-pages
is done entirely through environment variables:
$SITES_ROOT
: Directory where sites are stored (required).
$TRAEFIK_SERVICE
: Service name for traefik-pages
, where traffic will be routed (required).
$AUTH_PASSWORD
: Basic auth username required for access to private URLs (/.traefik-pages/*
) (required).
$DENY_PREFIXES
: Comma-separated list of URL prefixes to ignore (immediately return 404). Empty by default.
$LOG_INTERNAL
: Whether to log requests for internal URLs (default false).
$TRAEFIK_CERT_RESOLVER
: Traefik certificate resolver to use to provision TLS certificates (by default no certificates will be requested).
$PORT
: Port to listen on (default 5000).
$WORKERS
: Number of worker processes to handle requests (default 1).
