Configuration Introduction

 

Configuration in Traefik can refer to two different things:

• The fully dynamic routing configuration (referred to as the dynamic configuration)
• The startup configuration (referred to as the static configuration)

Elements in the static configuration set up connections to providers and define the entrypoints Traefik will listen to (these elements don't change often).

The dynamic configuration contains everything that defines how the requests are handled by your system. This configuration can change and is seamlessly hot-reloaded, without any request interruption or connection loss.

Incompatible Configuration
Please be aware that the old configurations for Traefik v1.x are NOT compatible with the v2.x config as of now. If you are running v2, please ensure you are using a v2 configuration. Old configurations fro Traefik v2.x are NOT compatible.
