HAProxy package overwrite
-
How do we install your package currently?
-
+1, I built my HA cluster with Briantist's v1.0. It was working great.
I recently bumped the package up to v1.2 on my backup node which destroyed the config.
Can we please get Briantist's version back?
-
I'll do it today.
To do not conflict with current version, I'll release it as haproxy-legacy.
-
I've just published haproxy legacy version with Briantist updates.
-
I would prefer a name other than legacy, since the package is quite up-to-date, and I plan on releasing new fixes and features that will make it very full-featured. Maybe we can take a nod from the beverage industry and call is HAProxy Classic ;)
Thanks Marcello, couldn't have done any of this without you. Thanks joem for your support as well.
-
I also want to say I'm dismayed that there has been no response from the admins or people who run the pfSense project. I really am amazed that this situation was possible in the first place.

As it was published on ports
I've just pushed haproxy 1.4.19 with latest bug fixes.
Until we find a way to merge both packages, I've updated haproxy and haproxy-legacy.

Hi marcelloc, thank you very much for your assistance and quick reply. Thank you as well Briantist for your hard work and updates to this package.
I removed v1.2 and attempted to install haproxy-legacy this evening, but I receive the following download failed message:
Beginning package installation for haproxy-legacy…
Downloading package configuration file... done.
Saving updated package information... done.

of haproxy-1.4.19 failed!I am running 2.0.1-RELEASE (i386). Any advice you could share would be appreciated. Thank you again.
-
fixed. Try to install again.
-
Any chance of a name change that doesn't involve the word legacy? It's confusing because it implies that the package is not current, or is deprecated..
-
I think That I should rename it to Classic instead of legacy as you suggested.
-
The installation for amd64 still fails, it seems the previous fix was only for i386.

Thanks -
there was a typo on url path, I've just fixed it.
Try again in 15 minutes.

I still see the legacy name. I'm trying to finalize my production installations and I want to move to the final name. Any timeframe on the classic name? Thanks.
-
I'm seeing now That I just changed i386 version.

Hi everyone,
Sort of off topic but involves HAProxy….
Any chance of a version of the plugin for 1.4.19 that just uses a user specified config file? We'd simply like to create a haproxy.cfg and copy that over to the PFsense box and that be used. No fancy gui setups - could be one box to paste the entire config into.
Reason for this is ease of migration off working HAProxy boxes and compatibility with our staging environment. Right now the HAproxy config gui also doesn't expose all the options that 1.4.19 supports.
Any thoughts?
-
It will work.
There are more features on 1.0
Using the gui you can export generated config and paste it on other system.
You can configure multiple pfsense boxes as well and use it's package config and XML sync.
Briantist is the guy behind haproxy improvements, paste here option you do not see on this package. Maybe It could be on next release.

Hi, I see how it will generate the full config output for cutting but I don't see where you can paste a complete config in?
We are running a config with 1 front end but back end switching based on acl's and such, and it would be far easier to just paste the complete config in. I guess I could always do that into the haproxy.cfg on the pfsense but then is someone goes into the gui they risk wiping that out.

Now I undestood.
A way to do it is installing filter package to be able to create and edit config files on pfsense.
With this package you have also the option to execute a command after file saving.The problem is That package gui will always try to override config file.
To workaround this, disable package gui and only use filer package to edit config.Can you share with us the config you use on haproxy and options That are not on gui?

How do I disable the package gui?
I will put up an example config once I sanitize it.
