# Traefik Manager

**A clean, self-hosted web UI for managing your Traefik reverse proxy.**

Add routes, manage middlewares, monitor services, and view TLS certificates - all without touching a YAML file by hand.

## Features

**Routing & Middleware**

- Add, edit, delete, and **enable/disable** HTTP, TCP, and UDP routes - no YAML editing required

- **Advanced rule editor** - toggle between a domain chip builder and a free-text rule input for complex expressions (`PathPrefix`, `HostRegexp`, `&&` / `||` compounds, etc.)

- **Multiple domains per route** - select any combination of your configured domains; generates multi-host Traefik rules (`Host(\`sub.d1\`) || Host(\`sub.d2\`)`)

- **Per-service insecureSkipVerify** - checkbox adds a named `serversTransport` for backends with self-signed certs (Proxmox, Kasm, etc.); yellow TLS skip badge shown on route cards

- **Wildcard certificate domains** - "Request wildcard certificate" checkbox auto-fills `tls.domains` from the selected domain; use with DNS challenge resolvers to request `*.domain.com` certs

- **TLS Options tab** - create and manage named `tls.options` profiles (min/max version, cipher suites, curve preferences, SNI strict, ALPN, mTLS client auth); assign a profile to any route via the route form

- **23 middleware wizard templates** with guided form fields (Basic Auth, Forward Auth, Rate Limit, IP Allowlist, Secure Headers, CORS, Redirect, Strip/Add Prefix, Retry, Circuit Breaker, Buffering, and more) - toggle to raw YAML for anything else

- **Route clone** - duplicate a route into the add modal pre-filled with its service URL, middlewares, and entrypoints

- **Multi-config file support** - mount several dynamic config files with `CONFIG_DIR` or `CONFIG_PATHS`; a dropdown selects which file each route or middleware is saved to; **create new files on the fly** when `CONFIG_DIR` is set

- **Timestamped backups** before every change; one-click restore from Settings; `POST /api/backup/create` and `POST /api/backup/static/create` for automation

- **Git Repository Backup** - push your Traefik configuration to a remote Git repository (GitHub, Gitea, Forgejo, GitLab, or any HTTPS host) after every change; browse the full commit history, view per-file side-by-side diffs, and restore any commit with one click; access token stored encrypted at rest; auto-push on every route, middleware, or static config save; manual push and Test Connection available in Settings → Backups → Git

**Live Dashboard**

- Real-time stats: router counts, service health, entrypoints, Traefik version

- Provider tabs: Docker, Kubernetes, Swarm, Nomad, ECS, Consul Catalog, Redis, etcd, Consul KV, ZooKeeper, HTTP Provider, File - all API-based, no extra mounts; **each tab shows provider middlewares** in a read-only section

- **Filter live services** by protocol (HTTP/TCP/UDP) and provider (docker, file, kubernetes…)

- **List view toggle** on Routes, Middlewares, and Services tabs - switch between card grid and compact table

**Visualizations** *(optional, toggle in Settings)*

- **Dashboard tab** - routes grouped by category (Media, Monitoring, Infrastructure, etc.) with app icons sourced from [selfh.st/icons](https://selfh.st/icons/), cached locally, and per-card editing (display name, icon override, group override)

- **Route Map tab** - 4-column topology view (Entry Points - Routes - Middlewares - Services) with Bezier curve connections, hover-to-highlight, and route tooltips

**Static Config Editor** *(optional - mount `traefik.yml` read-write)*

- Edit Traefik's static configuration directly from the UI - entrypoints, certificate resolvers, plugins, and a raw YAML editor (Monaco/VS Code engine) for anything else

- Changes are staged with a pending banner, backed up before saving, and Traefik is restarted automatically

- Three restart methods: **socket proxy** (recommended - sidecar with minimal socket exposure), **poison pill** (no socket needed - shared signal file), **direct socket**

- Full-screen reconnect overlay polls until Traefik is back up and dismisses automatically

**System Monitoring** *(optional)*

- **Certs** - `acme.json` certificates with expiry tracking

- **Plugins** - plugins from your static `traefik.yml`; add, edit, and remove plugins when static config editor is enabled

- **Logs** - parsed access log cards showing method, status, path, IP, service, and duration; click any card for a full detail panel with all fields and the raw log line

- **CrowdSec** - active decisions and recent alerts from a CrowdSec LAPI; add manual bans/captchas/bypasses or unban IPs with one click; stats cards show total alerts, active decisions, LAPI status, and type breakdown. Configure via `CROWDSEC_LAPI_URL` / `CROWDSEC_API_KEY` env vars or **Settings → System Monitoring → CrowdSec**

- **Configurable file paths** - set `acme.json`, access log, and static config paths from **Settings → File Paths** without a container restart; UI setting takes priority over env vars

**Multi-Server Management**

- **Traefik Manager Agent (TMA)** - lightweight Go daemon that runs alongside Traefik on any remote server; install it in seconds with the one-liner installer

- **Server switcher** in the nav bar - switch between local and remote agents; all data tabs show that server's routes, services, middlewares, backups, and logs

- **Settings → Agents** multi-step wizard - generates a ready-to-paste Docker Compose or Docker Run command with all env vars pre-filled; API key shown once and stored encrypted

- **Per-server git backup** - each agent handles its own autonomous git cycle via env vars; viewed from TM when that agent is active

- Manage unlimited remote Traefik instances from a single TM - no VPN or SSH required

**Security**

- bcrypt passwords (cost 12), CSRF protection, session management with session fixation protection

- Optional TOTP 2FA · 7-day remember me · configurable inactivity timeout

- Auto-generated password on first start · CLI recovery with `flask reset-password`

- **OIDC / SSO** - sign in with Keycloak, Google, Authentik, or any OIDC-compliant provider alongside password login; access restricted to specific emails or groups; client secret stored encrypted at rest

- **Per-device API keys** - up to 10 named keys (e.g. "My Phone"), each independently revocable via `X-Api-Key` header

- **Traefik API basic auth** - set `TRAEFIK_API_USER` / `TRAEFIK_API_PASSWORD` (or via Settings) for Traefik dashboards with `api.insecure: false`

- **Rate limiting** on login and auth endpoints (Flask-Limiter)

- **Atomic config writes** - crash-safe YAML saves via temp file + rename

- **Encrypted OTP secret** - TOTP seed encrypted at rest with Fernet

## Quick Start

**One-liner installer** - installs Traefik + Traefik Manager together, or Traefik Manager on its own via Docker or a native Linux service:

```bash

curl -fsSL https://get-traefik.xyzlab.dev | bash

```

**Manual Docker Compose:**

```yaml

services:

  traefik-manager:

    image: ghcr.io/chr0nzz/traefik-manager:latest

    container_name: traefik-manager

    restart: unless-stopped

    ports:

      - "5000:5000"

    environment:

      - COOKIE_SECURE=false

    volumes:

      - /path/to/traefik/dynamic.yml:/app/config/dynamic.yml

      - /path/to/traefik-manager/config:/app/config

      - /path/to/traefik-manager/backups:/app/backups

```

```bash

docker compose up -d

```

Open **http://your-server:5000** - the setup wizard will guide you through the rest.
