Traefik Dashboard

Create and deploy a middleware manifest that forces https:

middleware.yaml

apiVersion: traefik.containo.us/v1alpha1
kind: Middleware
metadata:
  name: traefik-dashboard-basicauth
  namespace: traefik
spec:
  basicAuth:
    secret: traefik-dashboard-auth

Generate a credential whichi is mandatory for the dashboard:

# Generate a credential / password that’s base64 encoded
htpasswd -nb kas <redacted> | openssl base64

Create and apply a manifest to deploy the dashboard. Note you need to use the output from command above for the password:

---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: traefik-dashboard-auth
  namespace: traefik
type: Opaque
data:
  users: <redacted hased password which is output from above>

Finally I create a manifest for an ingressRoute which will route traffic from traefik.local.kasj.live to my dashboard using TLS certificate I just created:

traefik-ingress.yaml

apiVersion: traefik.containo.us/v1alpha1
kind: IngressRoute
metadata:
  name: traefik-dashboard
  namespace: traefik
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: traefik-external
spec:
  entryPoints:
    - websecure
  routes:
    - match: Host(`traefik.local.kasj.live`)
      kind: Rule
      middlewares:
        - name: traefik-dashboard-basicauth
          namespace: traefik
      services:
        - name: api@internal
          kind: TraefikService
  tls:
    secretName: local-kasj-live-tls

So now if I navigate to https://traefik.local.kasj.live I can not see the traefik dashboard

And more importantly with a certificate issued from Let's Encrypt!
