Question about the plugings in general #7

Closed overthetop closed 4 years ago

overthetop commented 4 years ago

I'm not so familiar with traefik. Can I create a custom plugin and use it in the traefik community edition without Pilot? If not what would be the way for me? Should I create a custom middleware and compile the source code of the proxy myself?

Hello,

No, plugins need your traefik to be associated to a token in Pilot but Pilot is totally free.

Thx @darkweaver87 Does that mean that I can install traefik and pilot locally on an isolated environment?

darkweaver87 commented 4 years ago

No, you can install traefik locally but Pilot is an online service.

overthetop commented 4 years ago

I see. So basically I can't create proprietary plugins because Pilot needs to access them somehow. In my case the solution would be to write my own custom middleware right?

When it starts traefik will download the plugins you declared. You can use your own plugin in a development context but only for 30 minutes (then traefik will disable it until a restart). If you want to use it in a production environment you will need to publish it. It's win-win :-) There is no private registry for now. If you don't want to share it with the community then yes you'll have to build your own version of traefik with a middleware.
