## Configuration Example
Enable the dashboard:
```yaml tab="File(YAML)"
api: {}
```
```toml tab="File(TOML)"
[api]
```
```cli tab="CLI"
--api=true
```
Expose the dashboard:
```yaml tab="Kubernetes CRD"
apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
kind: IngressRoute
metadata:
name: traefik-dashboard
spec:
routes:
- match: Host(`traefik.example.com`) && (PathPrefix(`/api`) || PathPrefix(`/dashboard`))
kind: Rule
services:
- name: api@internal
kind: TraefikService
middlewares:
- name: auth
---
apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
kind: Middleware
metadata:
name: auth
spec:
basicAuth:
secret: secretName # Kubernetes secret named "secretName"
```
```yaml tab="Helm Chart Values (values.yaml)"
# Create an IngressRoute for the dashboard
ingressRoute:
dashboard:
enabled: true
# Custom match rule with host domain
matchRule: Host(`traefik.example.com`)
entryPoints: ["websecure"]
# Add custom middlewares : authentication and redirection
middlewares:
- name: traefik-dashboard-auth
# Create the custom middlewares used by the IngressRoute dashboard (can also be created in another way).
# /!\ Yes, you need to replace "changeme" password with a better one. /!\

## Configuration Options
The API and the dashboard can be configured:
- In the Helm Chart: You can find the options to customize the Traefik installation
enabing the dashboard [here](https://github.com/traefik/traefik-helm-chart/blob/master/traefik/values.yaml#L155).
- In the Traefik Static Configuration as described below.

## Dashboard
The dashboard is available at the same location as the [API](../../operations/api.md), but by default on the path `/dashboard/`.
!!! note
- The trailing slash `/` in `/dashboard/` is mandatory. This limitation can be mitigated using the the [RedirectRegex Middleware](../../middlewares/http/redirectregex.md).
- There is also a redirect from the path `/` to `/dashboard/`, but you should not rely on this behavior, as it is subject to change and may complicate routing rules.
To securely access the dashboard, you need to define a routing configuration within Traefik. This involves setting up a router attached to the service `api@internal`, which allows you to:
- Implement security features using [middlewares](../../middlewares/overview.md), such as authentication ([basicAuth](../../middlewares/http/basicauth.md), [digestAuth](../../middlewares/http/digestauth.md),
[forwardAuth](../../middlewares/http/forwardauth.md)) or [allowlisting](../../middlewares/http/ipallowlist.md).
- Define a [router rule](#dashboard-router-rule) for accessing the dashboard through Traefik.
### Dashboard Router Rule
To ensure proper access to the dashboard, the [router rule](../../routing/routers/index.md#rule) you define must match requests intended for the `/api` and `/dashboard` paths.
We recommend using either a *Host-based rule* to match all requests on the desired domain or explicitly defining a rule that includes both path prefixes.
Here are some examples:
```bash tab="Host Rule"
# The dashboard can be accessed on http://traefik.example.com/dashboard/
rule = "Host(`traefik.example.com`)"
```
```bash tab="Path Prefix Rule"
# The dashboard can be accessed on http://example.com/dashboard/ or http://traefik.example.com/dashboard/
rule = "PathPrefix(`/api`) || PathPrefix(`/dashboard`)"
```
```bash tab="Combination of Rules"
# The dashboard can be accessed on http://traefik.example.com/dashboard/
rule = "Host(`traefik.example.com`) && (PathPrefix(`/api`) || PathPrefix(`/dashboard`))"
```
