This repository contains a manager which health-checks given endpoints and generates a iptables DNAT/SNAT loadbalancer from active endpoints. ## Configuration ### Main Configuration File ```yaml --- # Table prefix to manage (should not collide with existing tables in # the system). Created tables in this case are named IPTLB_DNAT, # IPTLB_SNAT and IPTLB_SERVICENAME_DNAT / IPTLB_SERVICENAME_SNAT. managedChain: IPTLB # Collection of services to expose on the host the ipt-loadbalancer # runs on. Each service exposes one local port and forwards to N # remote ports using DNAT/SNAT. services: - name: ... # See below for the service definition ... ``` ### Service Configuration ```yaml # The name should consist only of [a-z0-9_] character set and must be # unique for the prefix given in the main configuration file name: https # The healthcheck defines how to verify the targets are up to include # them into the loadbalancing healthCheck: # Type is required, currently supported: http, smtp, tcp type: http # Interval defines how often to check for the targets to be alive: # 2s means from the start of the LB the targets are checked every 2s # in parallel interval: 2s # Settings defines parameters for the given health-check and are # individual to the type. settings: insecureTLS: true path: /healthz tls: true # Local Address and Port describes the IP and Port to bind the service # to. The Address given is used for the SNAT and therefore should for # example be the public IP of the machine localAddr: 203.0.113.1 localPort: 443 # Targets is a list of routing targets which are checked for their # liveness status and if they are live, they are included in the NAT # rulesets. # Each target consists of an Address, a Port and a Weight. The weight # is defined as an integer and increases / decreases the percentage # of the traffic that specific target will receive. (For example # setting all weights to 1 will distribute the traffic equally between # them, setting one to 2 will double the traffic to that target.) targets: - addr: 10.1.2.4 port: 443 weight: 1 - addr: 10.1.2.5 port: 443 weight: 1 - addr: 10.1.2.6 port: 443 weight: 1 ```
