name: traefik-route-manager description: Use when an AI agent needs to manage Traefik Route Manager routes through its HTTP API, including authenticating, listing routes, and creating, updating, or deleting managed route entries that map domains to backend services.

Traefik Route Manager

Use this skill to help an AI agent operate a deployed Traefik Route Manager instance over HTTP.

Setup

Collect these values before the first API call:

1. Base URL for the Traefik Route Manager instance, such as https://routes.example.com or http://192.168.1.100:8892
2. Shared auth token configured by the server's AUTH_TOKEN

Reuse previously supplied credentials only when the runtime supports secure state or the user explicitly provides them again.

Authentication

Validate the token with:

POST {baseUrl}/api/auth/login
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "token": "your-secret-token"
}

Send this header on every route request:

Authorization: Bearer <token>

Route Operations

List managed routes:

GET {baseUrl}/api/routes
Authorization: Bearer <token>

Create a route:

POST {baseUrl}/api/routes
Authorization: Bearer <token>
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "domain": "app.example.com",
  "backend": "http://192.168.1.100:3000",
  "https": true,
  "redirectHttps": false
}

Update a route by current domain:

PUT {baseUrl}/api/routes/app.example.com
Authorization: Bearer <token>
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "domain": "app.example.com",
  "backend": "http://192.168.1.100:3001",
  "https": true,
  "redirectHttps": true
}

Delete a route:

DELETE {baseUrl}/api/routes/app.example.com
Authorization: Bearer <token>

Request Rules

Use these payload rules when creating or updating routes:

Field	Type	Required	Rule
domain	string	Yes	Use a valid hostname such as app.example.com
backend	string	Yes	Include a scheme, such as http://192.168.1.100:3000
https	boolean	No	Enable TLS routing when true
redirectHttps	boolean	No	Redirect HTTP to HTTPS; only enable when https is also true

Responses

Expect these common responses:

• POST /api/auth/login: 200 on success, 401 when the token is invalid
• GET /api/routes: 200 with {"routes":[...]}
• POST /api/routes: 201 on success, 409 when the domain already exists, 400 on validation failure
• PUT /api/routes/:domain: 200 on success, 404 when the route does not exist
• DELETE /api/routes/:domain: 204 on success, 404 when the route does not exist

Workflow

Follow this sequence for user requests:

1. Confirm the base URL and auth token if they are not already available in safe runtime state.
2. Validate the token with /api/auth/login when authentication status is unknown.
3. Choose the matching route endpoint for list, create, update, or delete.
4. Return a concise summary that includes the domain, backend, and HTTPS behavior after the API call.

Notes

• Manage only routes handled by Traefik Route Manager.
• Expect managed files to use the trm- prefix, such as trm-plex.example.com.yml.
• Expect changes to take effect through Traefik File Provider without a service restart when the target instance is configured correctly.
