Features

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:

For TLS you need the following lables:

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

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.
