# Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
A Simple Use Case Using Docker
|
||||
{: .subtitle }
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
!!! tip
|
||||
To save some time, you can clone [Traefik's repository](https://github.com/containous/traefik).
|
||||
The quickstart files are located in the [examples/quickstart](https://github.com/containous/traefik/tree/master/examples/quickstart/) directory.
|
||||
|
||||
## Launch Traefik With the Docker Provider
|
||||
|
||||
Create a `docker-compose.yml` file where you will define a `reverse-proxy` service that uses the official Traefik image:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
version: '3'
|
||||
|
||||
services:
|
||||
reverse-proxy:
|
||||
image: traefik # The official Traefik docker image
|
||||
command: --api --docker # Enables the web UI and tells Traefik to listen to docker
|
||||
ports:
|
||||
- "80:80" # The HTTP port
|
||||
- "8080:8080" # The Web UI (enabled by --api)
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock # So that Traefik can listen to the Docker events
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**That's it. Now you can launch Traefik!**
|
||||
|
||||
Start your `reverse-proxy` with the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
docker-compose up -d reverse-proxy
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can open a browser and go to [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080) to see Traefik's dashboard (we'll go back there once we have launched a service in step 2).
|
||||
|
||||
## Traefik Detects New Services and Creates the Route for You
|
||||
|
||||
Now that we have a Traefik instance up and running, we will deploy new services.
|
||||
|
||||
Edit your `docker-compose.yml` file and add the following at the end of your file.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# ...
|
||||
whoami:
|
||||
image: containous/whoami # A container that exposes an API to show its IP address
|
||||
labels:
|
||||
- "traefik.router.rule=Host:whoami.docker.localhost"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The above defines `whoami`: a simple web service that outputs information about the machine it is deployed on (its IP address, host, and so on).
|
||||
|
||||
Start the `whoami` service with the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
docker-compose up -d whoami
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Go back to your browser ([http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080)) and see that Traefik has automatically detected the new container and updated its own configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
When Traefik detects new services, it creates the corresponding routes so you can call them ... _let's see!_ (Here, we're using curl)
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
curl -H Host:whoami.docker.localhost http://127.0.0.1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
_Shows the following output:_
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
Hostname: a656c8ddca6c
|
||||
IP: 172.27.0.3
|
||||
#...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## More Instances? Traefik Load Balances Them
|
||||
|
||||
Run more instances of your `whoami` service with the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
docker-compose up -d --scale whoami=2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Go back to your browser ([http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080)) and see that Traefik has automatically detected the new instance of the container.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, see that Traefik load-balances between the two instances of your services by running twice the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
curl -H Host:whoami.docker.localhost http://127.0.0.1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The output will show alternatively one of the followings:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
Hostname: a656c8ddca6c
|
||||
IP: 172.27.0.3
|
||||
#...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
Hostname: s458f154e1f1
|
||||
IP: 172.27.0.4
|
||||
# ...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
!!! question "Where to Go Next?"
|
||||
Now that you have a basic understanding of how Traefik can automatically create the routes to your services and load balance them, it is time to dive into [the documentation](/) and let Traefik work for you!
