- mihaigalos 4y agoAre you only using it for reverse proxying/rate limiting?
- theandrewbailey 4y agoI primarily use it to terminate SSL, route based on hostname (subdomain), and cache.
- fullstop 4y agoI use mine to also terminate TLS and proxy mosquitto (mqtt) traffic. mosquitto's TLS configuration is a pain and it's so much easier to have it all in one place.
- unixhero 4y agoI need to start using reverse proxy and such things. Have you decided upon that instead of Nginx Proxy Manager or Caddy? Or are you using HAProxy to solve other challenges?
- theandrewbailey 4y agoI use it for a few other things than reverse proxying. HAProxy seemed like a light weight solution to what I was looking for: parse an incoming request and hand it to something else as fast as possible, and doesn't do any web hosting itself.
- TimWolla 4y agoI do the same for my personal machine. It's acting as the router/gateway in front of several Docker containers (both HTTP and also other protocols, such as SMTP or IRC). Disclosure: I'm a community contributor to HAProxy.
