[Traefik](https://traefik.io/) is a modern HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer made to deploy microservices with ease. It simplifies networking complexity while designing, deploying, and running applications.
Traefik is deployed by default when starting the server. For more information see [Auto Deploying Manifests]({{<baseurl>}}/k3s/latest/en/advanced/#auto-deploying-manifests). The default config file is found in `/var/lib/rancher/k3s/server/manifests/traefik.yaml` and any changes made to this file will automatically be deployed to Kubernetes in a manner similar to `kubectl apply`.
Traefik is deployed by default when starting the server. For more information see [Auto Deploying Manifests]({{<baseurl>}}/k3s/latest/en/advanced/#auto-deploying-manifests). The default config file is found in `/var/lib/rancher/k3s/server/manifests/traefik.yaml`.
The Traefik ingress controller will use ports 80 and 443 on the host (i.e. these will not be usable for HostPort or NodePort).
Traefik can be configured by editing the `traefik.yaml` file. To prevent k3s from using or overwriting the modified version, deploy k3s with `--no-deploy traefik` and store the modified copy in the `k3s/server/manifests` directory. For more information, refer to the official [Traefik for Helm Configuration Parameters.](https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/traefik#configuration)
The `traefik.yaml` file should not be edited manually, because k3s would overwrite it again once it is restarted. Instead you can customize Traefik by creating an additional `HelmChartConfig` manifest in `/var/lib/rancher/k3s/server/manifests`. For more details and an example see [Customizing Packaged Components with HelmChartConfig]({{<baseurl>}}/k3s/latest/en/helm/#customizing-packaged-components-with-helmchartconfig). For more information on the possible configuration values, refer to the official [Traefik Helm Configuration Parameters.](https://github.com/traefik/traefik-helm-chart/tree/master/traefik).
To disable it, start each server with the `--disable traefik` option.
