This github repo is a fork of zlb
-

-
Removed ads from main page
-
Debianization (Debian Jessie x86_64)
$ git clone https://github.com/vlet/zlb zenloadbalancer-3.10.1
$ tar --exclude='*/debian*' -cf zenloadbalancer_3.10.1.orig.tar zenloadbalancer-3.10.1
$ gzip zenloadbalancer_3.10.1.orig.tar
$ cd zenloadbalancer-3.10.1
$ export QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches
$ while quilt push; do quilt refresh; done
$ dpkg-buildpackage
Package will be available in the top dir: zenloadbalancer_3.10.1-2_all.deb
Before instaling zenloadbalancer you will need to build those perl packages (not available in official debian jessie repos):
- libgd-3dbargrapher-perl
- libnet-ssh-expect-perl
But this is not a problem to build it yourself, for example:
$ dh-make-perl make --build --cpan net-ssh-expect
...
dpkg-deb: building package `libnet-ssh-expect-perl' in `../libnet-ssh-expect-perl_1.09-1_all.deb'.
...
$ sudo dpkg -i libnet-ssh-expect-perl_1.09-1_all.deb
Also Debian Jessie doesn't include mini_httpd package, so, you need to backport it from old repo yourself.
After installing all required modules and mini_httpd install zenloadbalancer package:
$ sudo dpkg -i zenloadbalancer_3.10.1-2_all.deb
zenloadbalancer removes all configuration from /etc/network/interfaces and
start managing instarfaces by itself. So you are required to have a direct
concole access to server (via kvm or ilo) if something going wrong.
DON'T install it on production server or your workstation , test package on a separate (virtual) instance.
