HAProxy is a free, fast, and reliable open-source load balancer software that can be used to distribute traffic across multiple servers. It can be used for a variety of applications, such as web servers, database servers, mail servers, and more. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of HAProxy on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have the following:
Before installing any software, it is always recommended to update the system to the latest packages. To do so, open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
To install HAProxy, open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S haproxy
The above command will download and install HAProxy along with its dependencies.
Once HAProxy is installed, you need to configure it for your application. The configuration file for HAProxy is located at /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg. Open and edit the configuration file using your preferred text editor.
sudo nano /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
In the configuration file, you can define the backend servers, listen ports, and other settings as per your application requirements. You can refer to the official documentation of HAProxy for more information on how to configure it.
After configuring HAProxy, you need to start and enable the HAProxy service to run automatically on system boot. To do so, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start haproxy
sudo systemctl enable haproxy
To verify that HAProxy is installed and working correctly, you can access the HAProxy statistics page at http://localhost:9000/stats. If everything is configured correctly, you should be able to see the statistics on the page.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured HAProxy on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now use it to distribute traffic across multiple servers for your application.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
