[HaProxy] Using Load-Balancers [Not Using Nginx!]

tdings

Since a few years I am using at least 16 dedicated servers [partly] to redirect certain services to many different back-end servers to be absolutely sure services are 24/7 available, even when a server is being replaced, failing, being upgraded or whatever.

aaPanel offers a - non free - solution based on Nginx which is working perfectly but I prefer to use HaProxy.

If you like to know more about how to install this super simple service it is maybe an idea to read about in on my blog. The explanation is way too long to copy / paste it here. Hopefully you do not mind I did it this way.

For now please enjoy your day!

tdings one simple question, can we user load balancer without using proxy of load balancer server? means load balancer just check backend server and redirect traffic on that server without using any proxy. all content use backend server bandwidth. I only have to distribute traffic.

Thanks

Yamiraan Absolutely! Will mention how to do this on my blog article. Thanks for the awesome suggestion!

tdings

Indeed. The customized configuration is not published yet. Will do that within a few minutes. Maybe a good idea to post here a message the moment I am completely done with it. Hopefully you do not mind to wait a moment for it.

Thanks for reading it ! Sorry!

Will make it possible - if you do not have the option to install HaProxy on your own server - to use a public available HaProxy server. Maybe even 2 or a bit more. (For a demo web-gui check this link: https://github.com/hap-wi/roxy-wi)

A Few Minutes Later ... Done! Web-Based HaProxy Manager installed, and added for now 6 load-balancers. 3x France, 1x Netherlands, 2x Germany. And if needed a lot more are available. Just let me know.
