haproxy-config-generator
haproxy-config-generator is a simple Django app that will enable system and network administrators alike to manage their haproxy configuration within the Django admin. This project aims at giving more insight into the haproxy configuration and letting administrators edit their configurations more easily.
Furthermore, the base configuration template (as can be found and modified in haproxy/config/templates/config.tpl) has support for the excellent LetsEncrypt implementation provided by janeczku's haproxy-acme-validation-plugin and supports Outlook Anywhere (RPC over HTTP)
Installation
Installation is as straight-forward as cloning the repository, optionally creating a virtual environment and installing Django.
# Optional: create and activate a virtualenv
virtualenv env/
source env/bin/activate
# Install dependencies (Django)
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Create a database and a user that can log in to the admin panel
cd haproxy/haproxy
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py createsuperuser
# Run the server
python manage.py runserver
Usage
After installation you can start the server with Django's built-in manage.py runserver command. The server will start on localhost, port 8000 by default. Alternatively, you can use other server software if you desire so.
You can update your configuration through the Django admin panel, located at http://localhost:8000/admin.
You can fetch your haproxy.cfg through the front page, located at http://localhost:8000/. Please note that you should first log in through the admin panel. You will not be able to fetch your configuration if you have not yet logged in.
