Pre-Requirements

Instructions

Deploy lb nodes

For example:

bash CloneWars.sh -c nuciberterminal  -h AVMLP-OSLB-001  -i 10.20.54.1 -m 20 -O -r 8192 -v 2 -o 4 -F
bash CloneWars.sh -c nuciberterminal2 -h AVMLP-OSLB-002 -i 10.20.54.2  -m 20 -O -r 8192 -v 2 -o 4 -F

Apply basic states

export THESERVER="avmlp-oslb-0*"
salt "${THESERVER}" state.apply
salt "${THESERVER}" state.apply nsupdate

Install required packages

salt "${THESERVER}" pkg.install haproxy
salt "${THESERVER}" pkg.install keepalived

Setup HAproxy

Sample from clover:

haproxy.cfg
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# Global settings
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
global
    # to have these messages end up in /var/log/haproxy.log you will
    # need to:
    #
    # 1) configure syslog to accept network log events.  This is done
    #    by adding the '-r' option to the SYSLOGD_OPTIONS in
    #    /etc/sysconfig/syslog
    #
    # 2) configure local2 events to go to the /var/log/haproxy.log
    #   file. A line like the following can be added to
    #   /etc/sysconfig/syslog
    #
    #    local2.*                       /var/log/haproxy.log
    #
    log         127.0.0.1 local2
    #log         /var/log/haproxy.log
 
    chroot      /var/lib/haproxy
    pidfile     /var/run/haproxy.pid
    maxconn     2048
    user        haproxy
    group       haproxy
    daemon
 
    # turn on stats unix socket
    stats socket /var/lib/haproxy/stats
 
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# common defaults that all the 'listen' and 'backend' sections will
# use if not designated in their block
#---------------------------------------------------------------------

Setup rsyslog

Necessary for haproxy logging:

rsyslog.conf.patch

Setup keepalived

keepalived.conf
global_defs {
   notification_email {
     dodger@ciberterminal.net
   }
   notification_email_from clover@ciberterminal.net
   smtp_server mta4.bavel.biz
   smtp_connect_timeout 30
!   router_id LVS_DEVEL
!   vrrp_skip_check_adv_addr
!   vrrp_strict
!   vrrp_garp_interval 0
!   vrrp_gna_interval 0
}
 
vrrp_script chk_haproxy {
  script "killall -0 haproxy" # check the haproxy process
  interval 2 # every 2 seconds
  weight 2 # add 2 points if OK
}
 
vrrp_instance VI_1 {
  interface eth0 # interface to monitor
  state MASTER # MASTER on haproxy, BACKUP on haproxy2
  virtual_router_id 51
  priority 101 # 101 on haproxy, 100 on haproxy2
  virtual_ipaddress {
    10.20.54.0 # virtual ip address
  }
  track_script {
    chk_haproxy
  }
  smtp_alert
}

On the secondary node, you'll have to chante the line:

state MASTER # MASTER on haproxy, BACKUP on haproxy2

setup pmta to allow sending un-authenticated emails

# avmlp-oslb-001
<source 10.20.54.1>
        always-allow-relaying yes
        default-virtual-mta operativa

        always-allow-relaying yes

Restart & enable all

systemctl restart rsyslog
systemctl restart haproxy
systemctl restart keepalived.service
 
systemctl enable rsyslog
systemctl enable haproxy
systemctl enable keepalived.service
