Use Traefik as External Reverse Proxy?

I've been messing around with Kubernetes and the TrueCharts catalogue and saw that Traefik is available, but haven't really used it that much with k3s. I currently have 90% of my containers run in docker containers, Plex and Nextcloud are run in pods just to test it out. A while ago I wrote two different compose files, one which deploys my environment using nginx and certbot containers to setup my reverse proxy and generate SSL certs automatically since all the containers I want exposed are tagged as such. I also have one setup for Traefik, the problem is, I have no idea how to attach all the necessary labels and such to all of the containers/pods using the current UI. Also k3s also confuses me slightly since it's a bigger beast than docker. I currently have Nginx running in a VM that is proxying all of my connections and ideally would like to get rid of that in favor of a pod that's easy to manage.

We would like to suggest you checkout our quick-start guides on https://truecharts.org
It's important to note that Traefik on k3s, is not the same thing as the docker-compose equivalent. It runs a so called "Ingress provider" and does not use it's own labelingsystem.

If you need any help, you can reach us on the TrueCharts discord, github or email, which are all available on our website as well :)

Hi!

I had a similar question, but after the @truecharts reply, my question is different now...

By visiting https://truecharts.org/apps/common/ > STABLE, I can see a lot of apps (and all the ones that I need right now are there), but... when I click in "Apps -> Available Applications" in my TrueNAS Scale, I only see these ones:

So the question now is: what do I need to do in order to have access to all those "Stable" apps from Truecharts?

Thanks.
Regards.

Cool thanks! I'll give it a look.

Edit: when adding the CSR the Common Name looks to be flagged as optional while the Subject Alternative Name is flagged as required, time to enter a ticket with IX I guess!

Hi there. Got a question regarding traefik configuration.

My current webservers are behind a pfsense firewall with IP 192.168.2.5 where port 80 and 443 is then routed to a reverse proxy to split routes as per domain to webservers.

Now my goal is to do a new setup using traefik, but im a newbie in that regard. Can I change my router config to route to my Traefik entry point and then to do a forward of eg cloud.krautmaster.de to 192.168.2.5 (old environment) ?

How would that look like? Thx a lot
