# Boot Environment
|
||
|
||
Traefik Proxy’s configuration is divided into two main categories:
|
||
|
||
- **Install Configuration**: (formerly known as the static configuration) Defines parameters that require Traefik to restart when changed. This includes entry points, providers, API/dashboard settings, and logging levels.
|
||
- **Routing Configuration**: (formerly known as the dynamic configuration) Involves elements that can be updated without restarting Traefik, such as routers, services, and middlewares.
|
||
|
||
This section focuses on setting up the install configuration, which is essential for Traefik’s initial boot.
|
||
|
||
## Configuration Methods
|
||
|
||
Traefik offers multiple methods to define install configuration.
|
||
|
||
!!! warning "Note"
|
||
It’s crucial to choose one method and stick to it, as mixing different configuration options is not supported and can lead to unexpected behavior.
|
||
|
||
Here are the methods available for configuring the Traefik proxy:
|
||
|
||
- [File](#file)
|
||
- [CLI](#cli)
|
||
- [Environment Variables](#environment-variables)
|
||
- [Helm](#helm)
|
||
|
||
## File
|
||
|
||
You can define the install configuration in a file using formats like YAML or TOML.
|
||
|
||
### Configuration Example
|
||
|
||
```yaml tab="traefik.yml (YAML)"
|
||
entryPoints:
|
||
web:
|
||
address: ":80"
|
||
websecure:
|
||
address: ":443"
|
||
|
||
providers:
|
||
docker: {}
|
||
|
||
api:
|
||
dashboard: true
|
||
|
||
log:
|
||
level: INFO
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```toml tab="traefik.toml (TOML)"
|
||
[entryPoints]
|
||
[entryPoints.web]
|
||
address = ":80"
|
||
|
||
[entryPoints.websecure]
|
||
address = ":443"
|
||
|
||
[providers]
|
||
[providers.docker]
|
||
|
||
[api]
|
||
dashboard = true
|
||
|
||
[log]
|
||
level = "INFO"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Configuration File
|
||
|
||
At startup, Traefik searches for install configuration in a file named `traefik.yml` (or `traefik.yaml` or `traefik.toml`) in the following directories:
|
||
|
||
- `/etc/traefik/`
|
||
- `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/`
|
||
- `$HOME/.config/`
|
||
- `.` (the current working directory).
|
||
|
||
You can override this behavior using the `configFile` argument like this:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
traefik --configFile=foo/bar/myconfigfile.yml
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## CLI
|
||
|
||
Using the CLI, you can pass install configuration directly as command-line arguments when starting Traefik.
|
||
|
||
### Configuration Example
|
||
|
||
```sh tab="CLI"
|
||
traefik \
|
||
--entryPoints.web.address=":80" \
|
||
--entryPoints.websecure.address=":443" \
|
||
--providers.docker \
|
||
--api.dashboard \
|
||
--log.level=INFO
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Environment Variables
|
||
|
||
You can also set the install configuration using environment variables. Each option corresponds to an environment variable prefixed with `TRAEFIK_`.
|
||
|
||
### Configuration Example
|
||
|
||
```sh tab="ENV"
|
||
TRAEFIK_ENTRYPOINTS_WEB_ADDRESS=":80" TRAEFIK_ENTRYPOINTS_WEBSECURE_ADDRESS=":443" TRAEFIK_PROVIDERS_DOCKER=true TRAEFIK_API_DASHBOARD=true TRAEFIK_LOG_LEVEL="INFO" traefik
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Helm
|
||
|
||
When deploying Traefik Proxy using Helm in a Kubernetes cluster, the install configuration is defined in a `values.yaml` file.
|
||
|
||
You can find the official Traefik Helm chart on [GitHub](https://github.com/traefik/traefik-helm-chart/blob/master/traefik/VALUES.md)
|
||
|
||
### Configuration Example
|
||
|
||
```yaml tab="values.yaml"
|
||
ports:
|
||
web:
|
||
exposedPort: 80
|
||
websecure:
|
||
exposedPort: 443
|
||
|
||
additionalArguments:
|
||
- "--providers.kubernetescrd.ingressClass"
|
||
- "--log.level=INFO"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```sh tab="Helm Commands"
|
||
helm repo add traefik https://traefik.github.io/charts
|
||
helm repo update
|
||
helm install traefik traefik/traefik -f values.yaml
|
||
```
