How Does It Work?

You don't need to change your current infrastructure and don't need to learn the HAProxy configuration.

The steps are:

Run the EasyHAProxy container;
Add some labels to the containers you want to be parsed by EasyHAProxy (see detailed instructions below);
EasyHAProxy will automatically detect the containers, set up, and reload the HAProxy configurations for you without downtime.
