This is an Ansible role to install the Traefik binary and set up a systemd unit.

Traefik is a modern HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer designed to easily deploy microservices. It works with multiple backends (like Docker, Swarm, Kubernetes, and more) to manage its configuration automatically and dynamically.

Installation

Run the following command to install:

$ ansible-galaxy install kibatic.traefik
