====== High Availability Proxy ======
HAProxy is a [[.:network:reverse-proxy|reverse proxy]] and [[.:network:load-balancer|load balancer]].

===== forward HTTP+HTTPS to another server =====
If you have a web server which already does HTTP and HTTPS, but you don't want to expose it to the internet (e.g. in a home server [[selfhost|self hosting]] setup), you can proxy it through HAProxy.

<code haproxy>
frontend http
	bind *:80
	default_backend upstream_http

frontend https
	bind *:443
	default_backend upstream_ssl

backend claptrap_http
	server upstream 192.168.77.2:80

backend claptrap_ssl
	server upstream 192.168.77.2:443
