Installs haproxy and prepares the configuration location.
Tested on Ubuntu 8.10 and higher.
-
‘node[’member_port’]‘ - the port that member systems will be listening on, default 80
-
‘node[’enable_admin’]‘ - whether to enable the admin interface. default true. Listens on port 22002.
-
‘node[’app_server_role’]‘ - used by the `app_lb` recipe to search for a specific role of member systems. Default `webserver`.
Use either the default recipe or the app_lb recipe.
When using the default recipe, modify the haproxy.cfg.erb file with listener(s) for your sites/servers.
The app_lb recipe is designed to be used with the application cookbook, and provides search mechanism to find the appropriate application servers. Set this in a role that includes the haproxy::app_lb recipe. For example,
name "load_balancer" description "haproxy load balancer" run_list("recipe[haproxy::app_lb]") override_attributes( "haproxy" => { "app_server_role" => "webserver" } )
The search also relies on an attribute “app_environment” being set on the node and a role named with the same value. For example, production:
name "production" description "Nodes in the production environment." default_attributes( "app_environment" => "production" )
