EasyHAProxy dynamically creates haproxy.cfg based on metadata from your workloads — Docker labels, Swarm service labels, or Kubernetes Ingress annotations. No HAProxy knowledge required.
- Automatic service discovery — Docker, Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, or static YAML
- Zero-downtime HAProxy reload — configuration updates happen without dropping connections
- Automatic TLS with ACME — Let's Encrypt, ZeroSSL, BuyPass, and more
- Custom SSL certificates — volume-mount or label-embed your own PEM files
- TCP mode — proxy any TCP service, not just HTTP
- Plugin system — JWT validation, IP whitelisting, Cloudflare IP restoration, FastCGI, path blocking, and custom plugins
- Real-time monitoring dashboard — built-in, zero-dependency web UI with live traffic charts, frontend/backend health, and per-server stats (enabled with a single env var)
- Balance algorithms — roundrobin, leastconn, source, uri, and more

A real-time dashboard is available at http://<host>:11936/ whenever HAPROXY_PASSWORD is set —
no extra containers, no Prometheus, no Grafana. See the dashboard guide.
