# Issue #36: Traefik Integration for Docker Compose ## Objective Implement flexible Traefik reverse proxy integration for Mosaic Stack with support for: - **Bundled mode**: Self-contained Traefik instance in docker-compose.yml - **Upstream mode**: Connect to existing external Traefik (e.g., ~/src/traefik) - **None mode**: Direct port exposure without reverse proxy ## Approach ### 1. Analysis Phase - [ ] Review existing docker-compose.yml structure - [ ] Check current environment variables in .env.example - [ ] Understand existing Traefik setup at ~/src/traefik - [ ] Review Docker deployment documentation ### 2. Design Phase - [ ] Design Traefik service configuration (bundled mode) - [ ] Design labels for upstream mode discovery - [ ] Define environment variables - [ ] Plan docker-compose profiles strategy ### 3. TDD Implementation Phase - [ ] Write integration tests for bundled mode - [ ] Write integration tests for upstream mode - [ ] Implement bundled Traefik service - [ ] Implement upstream mode labels - [ ] Configure SSL/TLS handling - [ ] Create docker-compose.override.yml examples ### 4. Documentation Phase - [ ] Update .env.example with Traefik variables - [ ] Update docker-compose.yml with inline comments - [ ] Create Traefik deployment guide - [ ] Update main Docker deployment README ## Technical Design ### Environment Variables ```bash # Traefik Configuration TRAEFIK_MODE=bundled # bundled, upstream, or none MOSAIC_API_DOMAIN=api.mosaic.local MOSAIC_WEB_DOMAIN=mosaic.local TRAEFIK_NETWORK=traefik-public # External network name TRAEFIK_TLS_ENABLED=true TRAEFIK_ACME_EMAIL=admin@example.com TRAEFIK_DASHBOARD_ENABLED=true ``` ### Docker Compose Profiles - `traefik-bundled`: Activate bundled Traefik service - Default: No profile = upstream or none mode ### Network Strategy - **Bundled**: Create internal `traefik-internal` network - **Upstream**: Attach to external `${TRAEFIK_NETWORK}` network - **None**: Use default bridge network ### Service Label Strategy All services (api, web) get Traefik labels, enabled conditionally: - Labels always present for upstream mode compatibility - `traefik.enable` controlled by TRAEFIK_MODE ## Testing Strategy ### Integration Tests 1. **Bundled Mode Test** - Verify Traefik service starts - Verify dashboard accessible - Verify API accessible via domain - Verify Web accessible via domain - Verify SSL certificate generation 2. **Upstream Mode Test** - Verify services connect to external network - Verify labels configured correctly - Verify no bundled Traefik starts 3. **None Mode Test** - Verify direct port exposure - Verify no Traefik labels active ## Progress ### Phase 1: Analysis ✅ COMPLETED - [x] Read current docker-compose.yml - [x] Read current .env.example - [x] Check existing documentation structure ### Phase 2: TDD - Write Tests ✅ COMPLETED - [x] Create test infrastructure (tests/integration/docker/) - [x] Write bundled mode tests - [x] Write upstream mode tests - [x] Write none mode tests - [x] Create test README.md ### Phase 3: Implementation ✅ COMPLETED - [x] Update .env.example with Traefik variables - [x] Create .env.traefik-bundled.example - [x] Create .env.traefik-upstream.example - [x] Implement bundled Traefik service in docker-compose.yml - [x] Add Traefik configuration files (docker/traefik/) - [x] Add labels to mosaic-api - [x] Add labels to mosaic-web - [x] Add labels to authentik-server - [x] Update docker-compose.override.yml.example - [x] Add traefik_letsencrypt volume ### Phase 4: Documentation ✅ COMPLETED - [x] Update .env.example with comprehensive Traefik comments - [x] Create docs/1-getting-started/4-docker-deployment/traefik.md (comprehensive guide) - [x] Update docs/1-getting-started/4-docker-deployment/README.md - [x] Update Makefile with Traefik shortcuts ## Notes ### Compatibility Requirements - Must work with existing Traefik at ~/src/traefik - Support `traefik-public` external network - Self-signed wildcard cert for `*.uscllc.com` - Traefik 2.x or 3.x compatibility ### Design Decisions 1. **Profile-based activation**: Use docker-compose profiles for clean bundled/upstream separation 2. **Label-first approach**: All services have labels, controlled by `traefik.enable` 3. **Flexible domains**: Environment-variable driven domain configuration 4. **SSL flexibility**: Support both ACME (Let's Encrypt) and self-signed certs ### Blockers None. ### Questions Resolved - Q: Should we support Traefik v2 or v3? A: Support both, using v3 as default for bundled mode (v3.2) - Q: How to handle network creation in upstream mode? A: Assume external network exists, document prerequisite clearly - Q: How to handle conditional Traefik enable? A: Use environment variable TRAEFIK_ENABLE with default false - Q: Should ports be exposed in Traefik mode? A: Yes, keep port exposure for flexibility (override if needed) ## Implementation Summary ### Files Created 1. **Test Infrastructure** - `/tests/integration/docker/traefik.test.sh` - Comprehensive integration test script - `/tests/integration/docker/README.md` - Test documentation 2. **Configuration Files** - `/docker/traefik/traefik.yml` - Traefik static configuration - `/docker/traefik/dynamic/tls.yml` - TLS configuration - `/.env.traefik-bundled.example` - Bundled mode environment template - `/.env.traefik-upstream.example` - Upstream mode environment template 3. **Documentation** - `/docs/1-getting-started/4-docker-deployment/traefik.md` - Comprehensive 500+ line guide ### Files Modified 1. **docker-compose.yml** - Added Traefik service with `traefik-bundled` profile - Added Traefik labels to `api`, `web`, and `authentik-server` services - Added `traefik_letsencrypt` volume - Labels use environment variables for flexibility 2. **.env.example** - Added complete Traefik configuration section - Added to COMPOSE_PROFILES documentation 3. **docker-compose.override.yml.example** - Updated Traefik examples section with detailed upstream mode instructions - Added middleware and custom domain examples 4. **Makefile** - Added `docker-up-traefik` target - Added `docker-test-traefik` target - Updated help text 5. **docs/1-getting-started/4-docker-deployment/README.md** - Added Traefik to overview - Added Traefik profile section - Added references to traefik.md guide ## Configuration Design ### Environment Variables The implementation uses environment variables for maximum flexibility: ```bash # Mode selection TRAEFIK_MODE=bundled|upstream|none # Enable/disable Traefik labels TRAEFIK_ENABLE=true|false # Domain configuration MOSAIC_API_DOMAIN=api.mosaic.local MOSAIC_WEB_DOMAIN=mosaic.local MOSAIC_AUTH_DOMAIN=auth.mosaic.local # Network configuration TRAEFIK_NETWORK=traefik-public TRAEFIK_DOCKER_NETWORK=mosaic-public # TLS configuration TRAEFIK_TLS_ENABLED=true|false TRAEFIK_ACME_EMAIL=admin@example.com TRAEFIK_CERTRESOLVER=letsencrypt # Entry points TRAEFIK_ENTRYPOINT=web|websecure ``` ### Profile Strategy - **Default (no profile)**: Core services only, no Traefik - **traefik-bundled**: Activates bundled Traefik service - **authentik**: Activates Authentik SSO services - **ollama**: Activates Ollama AI service - **full**: Activates all optional services ### Network Architecture 1. **Bundled Mode**: Uses `mosaic-public` network for Traefik routing 2. **Upstream Mode**: Attaches services to external `${TRAEFIK_NETWORK}` via override file 3. **None Mode**: Services use default networks with direct port exposure ## Testing Approach ### Integration Test Coverage The test script (`traefik.test.sh`) validates: **Bundled Mode:** - Traefik container starts successfully - Dashboard accessible on port 8080 - API endpoint responds - Services have correct labels - Routes registered with Traefik **Upstream Mode:** - Bundled Traefik does NOT start - Services connect to external network - Labels configured for external discovery - Correct network attachment **None Mode:** - No Traefik container - Labels disabled (traefik.enable=false) - Direct port access works - Services accessible via published ports ### Test Execution ```bash # All tests ./tests/integration/docker/traefik.test.sh all # Individual modes ./tests/integration/docker/traefik.test.sh bundled ./tests/integration/docker/traefik.test.sh upstream ./tests/integration/docker/traefik.test.sh none # Via Makefile make docker-test-traefik ``` ## Implementation Complete ✅ All tasks completed successfully.
