Traefik Dashboard Install

We use the Traefik Dashboard Ingress Muppy Package, which creates an Ingress Route to the dashboard deployed by the Traefik Helm package.

Prerequisites

Create a Credential Vault of type Apache htpassword, named traefik-dashboard, and fill User and Password with the values of your choice.

Installing the Dashboard

In Muppy, create a Package Release and fill in:

• Cluster:
• Profile: Traefik Dashboard Ingress:1.0.0
• Namespace: traefik-pack8s
• Qualifier: Infrastructure
• Hostname: nobody
• Network tab
  • Hostname generator: hostname.namespace.clustername.domain.ext
  • DNS Domain: select a DNS domain.
  • Use DNS Challenge: if the DNS Domain's provider is a managed one (OVH, Scaleway, Cloudflare) and the domain is connected, you can select this option.

  Info

  If you plan to have the cluster's port 80/http whitelisted, you must use the DNS challenge to avoid certificate security errors.

  • LoadBalancer: select the LoadBalancer configured during the Traefik installation.
  • Once the FQDN value suits you, click [Setup DNS Record].

  Warning

  A DNS record must exist, with the Dashboard's FQDN and the IP of the selected Load Balancer.

Click [Save]

Click [Reload Templates]

Click [Install]

Once it is done, click [Update info].

Info

For maximum security, the Dashboard can be uninstalled (with the Delete button) when it is not in use, or deployed on a Tailscale Ingress.

Accessing the Dashboard

Open the dashboard by clicking the Application icon — remember to append /dashboard/ to the URL.
