Ansible Role: HAProxy

❗ This is a detached fork of the original role from geerlingguy/ansible-role-haproxy including new features but still retaining backward compatibility. New features will not be issued as PRs to the original (see #7). ❗

CI

Installs HAProxy on RedHat/CentOS and Debian/Ubuntu Linux servers.

Note: This role officially supports HAProxy versions 1.4 - 2.6. Future versions may require some rework.

Requirements

None.
