Deploy Traefik

Traefik is a reverse proxy and load balancer that enables routing of http and https traefik to Thorium and any other web services you deploy in K8s (such as a local container registry).

1) Install the latest helm repo for Traefik

helm repo add traefik https://helm.traefik.io/traefik
helm repo update

2) Get a default values file for a Traefik release

helm show values traefik/traefik > traefik-values.yml

3) Modify the default helm values fpr Traefik

Update read and write response timeouts for http and https requests going through the traefik ingress proxy.

ports:
  ...
  web:
    ...
    transport:
      respondingTimeouts:
        readTimeout:   0 # @schema type:[string, integer, 0]
        writeTimeout:  0 # @schema type:[string, integer, 0]
        idleTimeout:   600 # @schema type:[string, integer, 600]
  ...

    transport:
      respondingTimeouts:
        readTimeout:   0 # @schema type:[string, integer, 0]
        writeTimeout:  0 # @schema type:[string, integer, 0]
        idleTimeout:   600 # @schema type:[string, integer, 600]

Update the IP addresses for web traffic that will access your Thorium instances from locations external to K8s.

service:
  ...
  externalIPs:
    - 1.2.3.4
    - 1.2.3.5
    - 1.2.3.6
    - 4.3.2.1

Explicitly disable anonymous usage reporting for networked Traefik deployments.

globalArguments:
...
- "--global.sendanonymoususage=false"

4) Create a namespace for Traefik and deploy

kubectl create ns traefik
sleep 5
helm install -f traefik-values.yml traefik traefik/traefik --namespace=traefik

You can update the values of an existing Traefik helm chart with the following command:

helm upgrade -f traefik-values.yml --namespace=traefik traefik traefik/traefik

5) Verify the Traefik pod started

kubectl get pods -n traefik
# NAME                       READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
# traefik-HASH               1/1     Running   0          1h
