Installing the Traefik Controller

8.1.4 Installing the Traefik Controller

Follow these steps to set up Traefik as a load balancer for Oracle Access Management domain in a Kubernetes cluster:

Configuring an Ingress Controller with SSL

Use Helm to install Traefik.

Create a $WORKDIR/kubernetes/helm/traefik-ingress-values-override.yaml that contains the following:

Note:

The configuration below deploys an ingress using LoadBalancer. If you prefer to use NodePort, change the configuration accordingly.

For more details about Traefik configuration see: Traefik Ingress Controller.

ingressRoute:
  dashboard:
    enabled: true 
providers:
  kubernetesCRD:
    enabled: true 
  kubernetesIngress:
    enabled: true
ports:
  traefik:
    port: 9000
    exposedPort: 9000
    protocol: TCP
  web:
    port: 8000
    exposedPort: 30080
    nodePort: 30080
    protocol: TCP  
  websecure:
    port: 8443
    exposedPort: 30443
    nodePort: 30443
    protocol: TCP 
service:
  spec:
    type: LoadBalancer

To install and configure Traefik ingress issue the following command:
```
$ helm install traefik --namespace <namespace> \
--values traefik-ingress-values-override.yaml \
traefik/traefik
```
Where:
- traefik is your deployment name
- traefik/traefik is the chart reference

For example:

$ helm install --namespace traefik \
--values traefik-ingress-values-override.yaml \
traefik traefik/traefik

Configure an Ingress Controller Without SSL

Use Helm to install Traefik.

Create a $WORKDIR/kubernetes/kubernetes/charts/traefik/traefik-ingress-values-override.yaml that contains the following:

ingressRoute:
  dashboard:
    enabled: true
providers:
  kubernetesCRD:
    enabled: true
  kubernetesIngress:
    enabled: true
ports:
  traefik:
    port: 9000
    exposedPort: 9000
    protocol: TCP
  web:
    port: 8000
    exposedPort: 30305
    nodePort: 30305
    protocol: TCP
  websecure:
    expose:
      default: false
service:
  spec:
    type: LoadBalancer

To install and configure Traefik ingress, run the following command:
```
helm install traefik --namespace <namespace> \
--values traefik-ingress-values-override.yaml \
traefik/traefik
```
Where:
- `<namespace>` is your namespace, for example `traefik`.
- `ports.web.exposedPort` is the HTTP port that you want the controller to listen on, for example `30305`.
- 'service.spec.type` is the controller type. If using NodePort set to `NodePort`.
- traefik is your deployment name
- traefik/traefik is the chart reference

For example:

$ helm install --namespace traefik \
--values traefik-ingress-values-override.yaml \
traefik traefik/traefik
