# Swarm ingress router



## This package is not maintained. Do not attempt to use in production

---



Route DNS names to labelled Swarm services using Docker 1.12's internal service load balancing



[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/tpbowden/swarm-ingress-router.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/tpbowden/swarm-ingress-router) [![Go Report Card](https://goreportcard.com/badge/github.com/tpbowden/swarm-ingress-router)](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/tpbowden/swarm-ingress-router)



## Features



- No external load balancer or config files needed making for easy deployments

- Integrated TLS decryption for services which provide a certificate and key

- Automatic service discovery and load balancing handled by Docker

- Scaled and maintained by the Swarm for high resilience and performance

- Incredibly lightweight image (less than 20MB after decompression)



## Installation



These are the manual steps to install the app. You can run `bootstrap.sh` to quickly create the required

services automatically.



First of all you will need to create a network for your frontend services to run on and one for storage:



    docker network create --driver=overlay frontends

    docker network create --driver=overlay router-management



Next you need to start Redis which will store service configuration



    docker service create --name router-storage --network router-management redis:3.2-alpine



Then you have to start the router's backend on management network. The service must be restricted to

run only on master nodes (as it has to query for services).



    docker service create --name router-backend --constraint node.role==manager --mount \

      target=/var/run/docker.sock,source=/var/run/docker.sock,type=bind --network router-management \

      tpbowden/swarm-ingress-router:latest -r router-storage:6379 collector



Now you can start the router's frontend on both the management and frontend network.

It must listen on the standard HTTP/HTTPS ports



    docker service create --name router --mode global -p 80:8080 -p 443:8443 --network frontends \

      --network router-management tpbowden/swarm-ingress-router:latest -r \

      router-storage:6379 server -b 0.0.0.0



### Start a demo app



Finally, start your frontend service on the frontends network and it will be available on all of your Swarm nodes:



    docker service create --name frontend --label ingress=true --label ingress.dnsname=example.local \

      --label ingress.targetport=80 --network frontends --label ingress.tls=true --label \

      ingress.forcetls=true --label ingress.cert="$(cat fixtures/cert.crt)" --label \

      ingress.key="$(cat fixtures/key.key)" nginx:stable-alpine



If you add a DNS record for `example.local` pointing to your Docker node in `/etc/hosts` you will be

routed to the service.



## Usage



In order for the router to pick up a service, the service must have the following labels:



- `ingress=true`

- `ingress.dnsname=`

- `ingress.targetport=`



For TLS you need the following lables:



- `ingress.tls=true`

- `ingress.cert="$(cat )"`

- `ingress.key="$(cat "`



To force services to force TLS you can also use the following label:



- `ingress.forcetls=true`



You do not need to publish the service's port as a node port as long as it is exposed internally and on the same network

as the router.



## Todo



- Better logging

- Command line argument for log level

- Use Docker events to stay in sync and long polling as a fallback

- Create a docker-compose file which can be converted into a stack

- Add a heathcheck endpoint and use Docker's HEALTHCHECK instruction to ensure maximum uptime
