Hello, I would like to share with you, the way you can deploy Traefik Ingress deployment with Flux.
I would like to mention that I have posted another post illustrating the manual deployment with the use of Helm Cli to deploy the Helm Chart.
Lets Dive In...
What is Flux ?
Flux is a collection of tools for keeping Kubernetes clusters in sync with sources of configuration (like Git repositories), and automating updates to configuration when there is new code to deploy.
Flux Core Concepts
You can find the necessary information from here.
How you can Install Flux ?
You have to install two part the first part is the Flux CLI which it is needed to install flux to your Kubernetes Cluster.
You can find the necessary information from here
How you can structure your Repository ?
You can find the necessary information from here
Lets Bootstap our Demo repository.
flux bootstrap github \
--owner=<github-user> \
--repository=test-app-deployment \
--team=Developers \
--path=clusters/test-cluster \
--components-extra=image-reflector-controller,image-automation-controller \
--token-auth
This is a very simple way to structure your Flux git repository used as a Source aka Source of Truth (it is always being monitored by flux).
Inside the clusters/test-cluster we are going to add the application we want to deploy to our Kubernetes Cluster.
Bellow you can find the manifests you will need to commit in order Flux to be able to deploy Traefik Helm Chart with the Helm Controller.

Please Confirm that flux has completed the reconciliation process by executing the following commands.
Also you can execute to retrieve all the resources managed by Flux
flux get all -A
If you want to force flux to reconcile faster a helm relase deployment you can execute the following commands
flux reconcile source git flux-system
flux get hr traefik
After reconciliation process has been completed we can proceed to the next stage of the deployment which is the deployment of the Traefik CRDs and also any other necessary definitions like custom middlewares and of course the Ingressroutes (which is actually a Custom Resource)
