Role Name

Will install haproxy and configure it.

Requirements

Only tested on ubuntu for now.

Role Variables

There is a main dictionary that needs to be set named haproxy. This dictionary has 4 main sections :

global
defaults
frontends
backends

Each section has the most used parameters that I can think of. This role does not have (yet) full coverage of the main haproxy project. Feel free to submit a pull request if something is missing for you.

Example Playbook

I highly suggest that you use a seperate variable file for this role (using the vars_files directive), but you can use it in the main playbook if you insist:

- hosts: loadbalances
  roles:
     - role: haproxy
       haproxy_frontends:
       - name: 'fe-mysupersite'
         ip: '123.123.123.120'
         maxconn: '1000'
         default_backend: 'be-mysupersite'
       haproxy_backends:
       - name: 'be-mysupersite'
         description: 'mysupersite is really cool'
         servers:
           - name: 'be-mysupersite-01'
             ip: '192.168.1.100'
