HAProxy is a high availability solution for load balancing services.
This template provides a bootstrapped HAProxy system with the following pre-configured features:
- Builds a HAProxy Server with Certbot for SSL Certificate management
- Uses the excellent HAProxy ACME Validation Plugin by janeczku to provide zero-downtime Letsencrypt SSL validation and renewal.
- Works out-of-the-box with a self-signed SSL certificate.
- HAProxy server will provide HTTP and HTTPS, with HTTP redirecting to HTTPS
- HAProxy server will serve a static web page for status.check.localhost which can be used to check the HAProxy status from other platforms such as Amazon Route 53.
- Adds any customizations such as root login enabled or SSH keys from ../Makefile.global
