Traefik Ingress controller: How to to redirect all http traffic to https

traefik redirect http https ingress helm

2 min read | by Jordi Prats

If you want to redirect all your HTTP requests to HTTPS, we can configure Traefik to do it for all the Ingress object we have configured

To globally configure Traefik we'll need to configure the HTTP to HTTPS rule on it's helm chart by adding ports.web.redirectTo=websecure, the values file will look as follows:

(...)
ports:
  web:
    redirectTo: websecure
  websecure:
    tls:
      enabled: true

If we are using a HelmChart object, it would look as follows:

apiVersion: helm.cattle.io/v1
kind: HelmChart
metadata:
  name: traefik
  namespace: kube-system
spec:
  chart: https://%{KUBERNETES_API}%/static/charts/traefik-10.3.001.tgz
  set:
    global.systemDefaultRegistry: ""
  valuesContent: |-
    rbac:
      enabled: true
    ports:
      web:
        redirectTo: websecure
      websecure:
        tls:
          enabled: true
    podAnnotations:
      prometheus.io/port: "8082"
      prometheus.io/scrape: "true"
    providers:
      kubernetesIngress:
        publishedService:
          enabled: true
    priorityClassName: "system-cluster-critical"
    image:
      name: "rancher/mirrored-library-traefik"
    tolerations:
    - key: "CriticalAddonsOnly"
      operator: "Exists"
    - key: "node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane"
      operator: "Exists"
      effect: "NoSchedule"
    - key: "node-role.kubernetes.io/master"
      operator: "Exists"
      effect: "NoSchedule"
