Improve `ports:` configuration

What do you want to achieve with this Chart ?

Description

The ports section is one of the most important config section of this Chart. It allows to define where and how Traefik will listen.

That said, it's currently lacking some examples on common use cases like how to:

1. Expose a non standard port
2. Deploy a two instances setup: one for private traffic & one for public traffic

The way it's configured is also very specific to this Chart. It's one of the area that forced us to set additionalProperties to false. Maybe we can find a way to rework and align the Chart configuration with how Traefik is configured.

I just stumbled on this and would like to set additional ports directly in the values.yaml file. My use case is adding an entrypoint for large file downloads/uploads with read/write timeouts set to different values than the websecure entrypoint.

But you can do that already?

I have created a values.yaml file for Helm with settings like:

ports:
  https:
    port: 7443
    expose:
      default: true
    exposedPort: 443
    protocol: TCP
    http3:
      enabled: false
    tls:
      enabled: true

which will add an additional entrypoint named https.

I've been trying to add non standard ports second day. Would be REALLY nice to have examples how to do it, because for a beginers like me, it is not obvious.

How to expose 5432 port with tls passthrough , how to expose 1562 port , for at least common app like redis, rabbitmq, mongodb, postgresql.

I've been hacking away at the same task for hours. Currently working on a TCP passthrough for stunnel. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't remember it being this hard to expose non-standard ports. In fact, the reason I've long preferred traefik for ingress is because my projects tend to need TCP passthrough. Years back, traefik was the only solution to this I could find.
