Based on service-loadbalancer in kubernetes/contrib

This repo holds the Dockerfile, and the Kubernetes config for an HAProxy loadbalancer.

The goals are as follows:

• A loadbalancer for bare metal Kubernetes clusters
• Automatic population of an HAProxy config based on changes in the Kubernetes API
• Allowing for dynamic templates, by moving the template to a volume

Build Notes

1. This will only compile on a Linux-based system, due to a dependency on libcontainer.

2. When you attempt to compile the Golang files, it will fail on a dependency for k8s.io/kubernetes/pkg/api.

   This is documented here: kubernetes/kubernetes#16361.

   The solution is to do the following:

   	cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/ugorji/go/codec/
    git checkout 8a2a3a8c488c3ebd98f422a965260278267a0551
   

   Which will pin that package to a version that works. Hopefully, it will be fixed and this will be unnecessary.

kubernetes-haproxy's Issues

Upstream the repo

I noticed this on the kubernetes slack channel and I decided to reach out, because I don't want it to be hard to maintain spin-off kubernetes components down the line. This is just my 2c.

It would be great if you could upstream this repo into /contrib. I'm willing to help clarify/take patches to support things that might not work right away. I think it will be worth your time because we're currently fleshing out the L7 api (Ingress), and when that's in, we'll just lift and shift the service loadbalancer as a Kubernetes cluster add-on, so your changes should continue to work.

Doing the work now when the 2 aren't very different is bound to be much easier than a month down the line when the service-loadbalancer has been moved, and the api revved.
