HAProxy

HAProxy for IndieHosters

What is it?

This repository contains one of the most advanced and libre HAproxy for docker setup that we are aware of. It ships with:

• container discovery though docker API (like smartstack) based on Env var VIRTUAL_HOST (Based on docker-gen)
• ocsp
• letsencrypt

Each time you add a container with the environment variable VIRTUAL_HOST it will:

• generate a valid certificate (if the dns is pointing correctly)
• serves the OCSP response
• serves your web container with https

Prerequistes

• docker
• docker-compose

Get started

git clone https://github.com/indiehosters/haproxy.git
cd haproxy
docker-compose up -d

And profit!

docker run -e VIRTUAL_HOST=example.org nginx
