8.1.2 Creating a Kubernetes Namespace for Traefik

Use the values.yaml file in the sample but set kubernetes.namespaces specifically.

kubectl create namespace <namespace>

For example:

$ cd ${WORKDIR}
 $ kubectl create namespace traefik
 $ helm repo add traefik https://helm.traefik.io/traefik --force-update

The output will look similar to the following:

namespace/traefik created

Sample values.yaml file:

image:
name: traefik
pullPolicy: IfNotPresent
ingressRoute:
dashboard:
   enabled: true
   # Additional ingressRoute annotations (e.g. for kubernetes.io/ingress.class)
   annotations: {}
   # Additional ingressRoute labels (e.g. for filtering IngressRoute by custom labels)
   labels: {}
providers:
kubernetesCRD:
   enabled: true
kubernetesIngress:
   enabled: true
   # IP used for Kubernetes Ingress endpoints
ports:
traefik:
   port: 9000
   expose: true
   # The exposed port for this service
   exposedPort: 9000

   # Use nodeport if set. This is useful if you have configured Traefik in a

   # Port Redirections
   # Added in 2.2, you can make permanent redirects via entrypoints.
