Supermarket Belongs to the Community

Supermarket belongs to the community. While Chef has the responsibility to keep it running and be stewards of its functionality, what it does and how it works is driven by the community. The chef/supermarket repository will continue to be where development of the Supermarket application takes place. Come be part of shaping the direction of Supermarket by opening issues and pull requests or by joining us on the Chef Mailing List.

Recipes

default

Sets up haproxy using statically defined configuration. To override the configuration, modify the templates/default/haproxy.cfg.erb file directly, or supply your own and override the cookbook and source by reopening the template[/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg] resource.

app_lb

Sets up haproxy using dynamically defined configuration through search. See Usage below.

tuning

Uses the community cpu cookbook's cpu_affinity LWRP to set affinity for the haproxy process.

install_package

Installs haproxy through the package manager. Used by the default and app_lb recipes.

install_source

Installs haproxy from source. Used by the default and app_lb recipes.

Providers

haproxy_lb

Configure a part of haproxy (frontend|backend|listen). It is used in default and app_lb recipe to configure default frontends and backends. Several common options can be set as attributes of the LWRP. Others can always be set with the params attribute. For instance,

haproxy_lb 'rabbitmq' do
  bind '0.0.0.0:5672'
  mode 'tcp'
  servers (1..4).map do |i|
    "rmq#{i} 10.0.0.#{i}:5672 check inter 10s rise 2 fall 3"
  end
  params({
    'maxconn' => 20000,
    'balance' => 'roundrobin'
  })
end

which will be translated into:

listen rabbitmq'
  bind 0.0.0.0:5672
  mode tcp
  rmq1 10.0.0.1:5672 check inter 10s rise 2 fall 3
  rmq2 10.0.0.2:5672 check inter 10s rise 2 fall 3
  rmq3 10.0.0.3:5672 check inter 10s rise 2 fall 3
  rmq4 10.0.0.4:5672 check inter 10s rise 2 fall 3
  maxconn 20000
  balance roundrobin

All options can also be set in the params instead. In that case, you might want to provide an array to params attributes to avoid conflicts for options occuring several times.

haproxy_lb 'rabbitmq' do
  params([
    'bind 0.0.0.0:5672',
    'mode tcp',
    'rmq1 10.0.0.1:5672 check inter 10s rise 2 fall 3',
    'rmq2 10.0.0.2:5672 check inter 10s rise 2 fall 3',
    'rmq3 10.0.0.3:5672 check inter 10s rise 2 fall 3',
    'rmq4 10.0.0.4:5672 check inter 10s rise 2 fall 3',
    'maxconn' => 20000,
    'balance' => 'roundrobin'
  ])
end

which will give the same result.

Finally you can also configure frontends and backends by specify the type attribute of the resource. See example in the default recipe.

Instead of using lwrp, you can use node['haproxy']['listeners'] to configure all kind of listeners (listen, frontend and backend)

Usage

Use either the default recipe or the app_lb recipe.

When using the default recipe, the members attribute specifies the http application servers. If you wish to use the node['haproxy']['listeners'] attribute or haproxy_lb lwrp instead then set node['haproxy']['enable_default_http'] to false.

"haproxy" => {
  "members" => [{
    "hostname" => "appserver1",
    "ipaddress" => "123.123.123.1",
    "port" => 8000,
    "ssl_port" => 8443,
    "weight" => 1,
    "max_connections" => 100
  }, {
    "hostname" => "appserver2",
    "ipaddress" => "123.123.123.2",
    "port" => 8000,
    "ssl_port" => 8443,
    "weight" => 1,
    "max_connections" => 100
  }, {
    "hostname" => "appserver3",
    "ipaddress" => "123.123.123.3",
    "port" => 8000,
    "ssl_port" => 8443,
    "weight" => 1,
    "max_connections" => 100
  }]
}

Note that the following attributes are optional

  • port will default to the value of node['haproxy']['member_port']
  • ssl_port will default to the value of node['haproxy']['ssl_member_port']
  • weight will default to the value of node['haproxy']['member_weight']
  • max_connections will default to the value of node['haproxy']['member_max_connections']

The app_lb recipe is designed to be used with the application cookbook, and provides search mechanism to find the appropriate application servers. Set this in a role that includes the haproxy::app_lb recipe. For example,

name 'load_balancer'
description 'haproxy load balancer'
run_list('recipe[haproxy::app_lb]')
override_attributes(
  'haproxy' => {
    'app_server_role' => 'webserver'
  }
)

The search uses the node's chef_environment. For example, create environments/production.rb, then upload it to the server with knife
