-
-HAProxy is a load balancer and proxy server that provides
-high-availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP (level 4) and
-HTTP-based (level 7) applications.
-
-## Configuration

-
-## Health checks
-
-
-### HTTP checks
-
-
-Use HTTP health checks to monitor web applications that provide health status
-information and determine their availability.
-
-```{cfgcmd} set load-balancing haproxy backend \<name\> http-check
-
-Enables HTTP health checks using OPTION HTTP requests against '/' and
-expecting a successful response code in the 200-399 range.
-```
-
-
-```{cfgcmd} set load-balancing haproxy backend \<name\> http-check method \<method\>
-
-Set the HTTP method: ``OPTION``, ``GET``, ``POST``, or ``PUT``.
-```
-
-
-```{cfgcmd} set load-balancing haproxy backend \<name\> http-check uri \<path\>
-
-Set the endpoint to use for health checks.
-```
-
-
-````{cfgcmd} set load-balancing haproxy backend \<name\> http-check expect \<condition\>
-
-Set the expected result condition for a server to be considered healthy.
-
-```{eval-rst}
-Some possible examples are:
- * ``status 200`` Expecting a 200 response code
- * ``status 200-399`` Expecting a non-failure response code
- * ``string success`` Expecting the string success in the response body
-```
-````
-
-### TCP checks
-
-Configure health checks for TCP mode backends. You can configure protocol-aware
-checks for a range of Layer 7 protocols:
-
-````{cfgcmd} set load-balancing haproxy backend \<name\> health-check \<protocol\>
-
-```{eval-rst}
-Available health check protocols:
- * ``ldap`` LDAP protocol check.
- * ``redis`` Redis protocol check.
- * ``mysql`` MySQL protocol check.
- * ``pgsql`` PostgreSQL protocol check.
- * ``smtp`` SMTP protocol check.
-```
-````
-
-:::{note}
-If you specify a server to check but do not configure a
-protocol, HAProxy performs a basic TCP health check. A server is online if
-it responds to a connection attempt with a valid `SYN/ACK` packet.
-:::
-## Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
-
-Configure a HAProxy service for HTTP that listens on port 80 and redirects
-incoming requests to HTTPS:
-
-```none
-set load-balancing haproxy service http port '80'
-set load-balancing haproxy service http redirect-http-to-https
-```
-
-You can use a different service name; in this example, `http` is just for
-convenience.
-
-## Examples
-### Level 4 balancing
-
-This configuration enables the TCP reverse proxy for the `my-tcp-api`
-service. Incoming TCP connections on port 8888 are load balanced across the
-backend servers (srv01 and srv02) using the round-robin load balancing
-algorithm.
-
-```none
-set load-balancing haproxy service my-tcp-api backend 'bk-01'
-set load-balancing haproxy service my-tcp-api mode 'tcp'
-set load-balancing haproxy service my-tcp-api port '8888'
-
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 balance 'round-robin'
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 mode 'tcp'
-
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 server srv01 address '192.0.2.11'
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 server srv01 port '8881'
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 server srv02 address '192.0.2.12'
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 server srv02 port '8882'
-```
-
-### Balancing based on domain name
-
-The following configuration demonstrates how to use VyOS
-to achieve load balancing based on the domain name:
-
-The HTTP service listens on TCP port 80.
-
-Rule 10 matches requests with the domain name `node1.example.com` and
-forwards them to the backend `bk-api-01`.
-
-Rule 20 matches requests with the domain name `node2.example.com` and
-forwards them to the backend `bk-api-02`.
-
-```none
-set load-balancing haproxy service http description 'bind app listen on 443 port'
-set load-balancing haproxy service http mode 'tcp'
-set load-balancing haproxy service http port '80'
-
-set load-balancing haproxy service http rule 10 domain-name 'node1.example.com'
-set load-balancing haproxy service http rule 10 set backend 'bk-api-01'
-set load-balancing haproxy service http rule 20 domain-name 'node2.example.com'
-set load-balancing haproxy service http rule 20 set backend 'bk-api-02'
-
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-api-01 description 'My API-1'
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-api-01 mode 'tcp'
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-api-01 server api01 address '127.0.0.1'
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-api-01 server api01 port '4431'
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-api-02 description 'My API-2'
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-api-02 mode 'tcp'
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-api-02 server api01 address '127.0.0.2'
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-api-02 server api01 port '4432'
-```
-
-### Terminate SSL
-
-The following configuration terminates SSL on the router.
-
-The `http` service listens on port 80 and redirects HTTP requests to
-HTTPS.
-
-The `https` service listens on port 443 with the `bk-default` backend
-and handles HTTPS traffic using the `cert` certificate for SSL termination.
-The HSTS header is set with a 1-year expiry to tell browsers to always use
-SSL for the site.
-
-Rule 10 matches requests with the exact URL path `/.well-known/xxx` and
-redirects them to `/certs/`.
-
-Rule 20 matches requests with URL paths ending in `/mail` or the exact
-path `/email/bar` and redirects them to `/postfix/`.
-
-Global parameters include a maximum connection limit of 4000 and a minimum
-TLS version of 1.3.
-
-```none
-set load-balancing haproxy service http description 'Force redirect to HTTPS'
-set load-balancing haproxy service http port '80'
-set load-balancing haproxy service http redirect-http-to-https
-
-set load-balancing haproxy service https backend 'bk-default'
-set load-balancing haproxy service https description 'listen on 443 port'
-set load-balancing haproxy service https mode 'http'
-set load-balancing haproxy service https port '443'
-set load-balancing haproxy service https ssl certificate 'cert'
-set load-balancing haproxy service https http-response-headers Strict-Transport-Security value 'max-age=31536000'
-
-set load-balancing haproxy service https rule 10 url-path exact '/.well-known/xxx'
-set load-balancing haproxy service https rule 10 set redirect-location '/certs/'
-set load-balancing haproxy service https rule 20 url-path end '/mail'
-set load-balancing haproxy service https rule 20 url-path exact '/email/bar'
-set load-balancing haproxy service https rule 20 set redirect-location '/postfix/'
-
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-default description 'Default backend'
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-default mode 'http'
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-default server sr01 address '192.0.2.23'
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-default server sr01 port '80'
-
-set load-balancing haproxy global-parameters max-connections '4000'
-set load-balancing haproxy global-parameters tls-version-min '1.3'
-```
-
-### SSL Bridging
-
-The following configuration terminates incoming HTTPS traffic on the router,
-then re-encrypts the traffic and sends it to the backend server via HTTPS.
-Use this when encryption is required for both paths but you do not want to
-install publicly trusted certificates on each backend server.
-
-Backend service certificates are checked against the certificate authority
-specified in the configuration, which could be an internal CA.
-
-The `https` service listens on port 443 with backend `bk-bridge-ssl` to
-handle HTTPS traffic. It uses certificate named `cert` for SSL termination.
-
-The `bk-bridge-ssl` backend connects to `sr01` server on port 443 via HTTPS
-and checks backend server has a valid certificate trusted by CA `cacert`
-
-```none
-set load-balancing haproxy service https backend 'bk-bridge-ssl'
-set load-balancing haproxy service https description 'listen on 443 port'
-set load-balancing haproxy service https mode 'http'
-set load-balancing haproxy service https port '443'
-set load-balancing haproxy service https ssl certificate 'cert'
-
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-bridge-ssl description 'SSL backend'
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-bridge-ssl mode 'http'
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-bridge-ssl ssl ca-certificate 'cacert'
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-bridge-ssl server sr01 address '192.0.2.23'
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-bridge-ssl server sr01 port '443'
-```
-
-### Balancing with HTTP health checks
-
-This configuration enables HTTP health checks for backend servers.
-
-```none
-set load-balancing haproxy service my-tcp-api backend 'bk-01'
-set load-balancing haproxy service my-tcp-api mode 'tcp'
-set load-balancing haproxy service my-tcp-api port '8888'
-
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 balance 'round-robin'
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 mode 'tcp'
-
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 http-check method 'get'
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 http-check uri '/health'
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 http-check expect 'status 200'
-
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 server srv01 address '192.0.2.11'
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 server srv01 port '8881'
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 server srv01 check
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 server srv02 address '192.0.2.12'
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 server srv02 port '8882'
-set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 server srv02 check port '8892'
-```
