Running Traefik with Docker 1.12 Swarm Mode

[timchunght]

What I am attempting to do is run Traefik as a docker service in the new swarm mode and have it auto discover all the other services.

docker service create --name traefik -p 80:80 -p 8080:8080 traefik 

However, without the ability to bind the docker socket in swarm mode, what can we do to have traefik do auto service discovery for all the other services in docker swarm. Thanks

My goal is to run traefik as a global service in docker swarm and have it communicate with the docker swarm API and use the label of the service (this use case is unique to docker 1.12) in docker swarm for hostname matching.

Use case:
traefik on port 80

service 1 created and scaled via docker swarm with label (this label is only visible as part of the service and not individual containers)

@timchunght for sure, we will make traefik compliant with Docker swarm mode :)

We are watching closely the 1.12 feature and how they will evolve between 1.12 and 1.13, but we're definitely going to support that 👼 😉

@vdemeester is there any timeline on this feature. Really excited and looking forward to it! Thanks!

I'm new to traefik but searching for reverse proxy solution in docker swarm mode. I think, in the meantime, we can use file backend and route them using domain name with attached network. Swarm already handles service discovery and load balancing.

Im writing a code to support that, lets what happen.
