How To Use HAProxy to Set Up HTTP Load Balancer

HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable solution offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications. It is really suited for very high traffic web sites and powers quite a number of the world's most visited ones. Over distributed and distributed by default in cloud platforms.

In this case, we use 6 server to setup this environment. 1 server for main web, 4 server for nginx balancer and 1 server for HAProxy.



main web server : 
     192.168.1.10

nginx node-1 :
     192.168.1.11

nginx node-2 :
     192.168.1.12

nginx node-3 :
     192.168.1.13

nginx node-4 :
     192.168.1.14

HAProxy :
     192.168.1.15

In main web server, put your code of web app that you build.

In nginx node 1 - 4 configure proxy pass to protect main web server. 

Installing HAProxy

use command apt-get to install

       apt-get install haproxy

We need to enable HAproxy to be started by init script.

       nano /etc/default/haproxy

Set "ENABLE=1"


Configuring HAProxy

Edit file /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg

strat with first block. 



Log haproxy use rsyslog since ubuntu has installed rsylog in first place. Configuring rsyslog will be discussed in next post.  

Alright, next we handle the next block like this.



In this block, we configure haproxy panel, configure which port will be used in bind option. Configuring user and password  can be done in auth option.



This settup is used for binding port 80 accessed by client.


And lastly this is configuration for load balancer. If you don't know what roundrobin mean, you can look at it in google. Option httpchk used for check host before forward the packet. Option server used for define nginx proxy pass which already configured.

Computer Graphics Project "Planet Orbit" Source Code with Glut OpenGL

Image
Hello there !!!  This time I will post a project in the past. It is about rotation and applied to make earth orbital with moon and sun. As reminder, for you who haven’t install glut you can download it in here and follow the instruction I uploaded too. You can download this orbital project in here too. The image above is the result of orbital project. Here is the source code for this project. #include <windows.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <GL/glut.h> #include <math.h> void myinit() { glClearColor(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0); glColor3f(1.0, 0.0, 0.0); glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION); glLoadIdentity(); glOrtho(-400.0, 400.0, -400.0, 400.0,-400.0,400.0); glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); glShadeModel(GL_FLAT); glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST); } float putaransatu, putarandua = 0; typedef struct{ float x,y; } point2D_t; void drawDot(int x,int y){ glBegin(GL_POINTS); glVertex2i(x,y); glEnd(); } /*void bintang(void) { static int tick=0; static...

Quantization of Image Data Implementation in C#

Image
Introduction  This time we will share how to create an application to change the threshold value from black-and-white to the average value of the gray degree of all points and add textBox so that the user can change the threshold value according to the user's wishes. Besides that we also will add textBox to input quantization value. So the user can change the quantization as desired. Application Screenshoot A black-and-white image is an image that contains only black or white. Black is valued 0 and white is valued 255. To make the picture in black and white, the original color will be gray degree and each pixel will be compared with its threshold value. Normally, the black-and-white degree image has a 128 threshold value, so if the color value is less than 128, then the color is changed to 0 (black), and which is greater than or equal to 128 will be converted to 255 (white). Consider the example image below. Figure 1. The original image is predominantly dark When vi...

Computer Graphics Project "MINION" Source Code with Glut OpenGL

Hello !!! This time I post about computer graphics again. And yes, I will share a project which mainly used rotation and a little bit morphing. You can download this project here ( Download here to download glut and follow the instruction ) .The character used in this project is well known. Well here’s the depiction of this project. Minion !!! The eyes will rotate. And it’s smile will move up and down which give you a creepy smile hahaha.  So here’s the source code for this project : #include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> #include <GL/glut.h> #ifndef M_PI #define M_PI 3.141592653589793 #endif typedef struct { float x; float y; } point2D_t; typedef struct { float r; float g; float b; } color_t; ////////////// OpenGL drawShape Functions ver 1 ///////////////// void setColor(float red,float green,float blue) { glColor3f(red, green, blue); } void setColor(color_t col) { glColor3f(col.r, col.g, col.b); } void drawDot(float x,float y) { ...
