## Service discovery for HAProxy
EasyHAProxy dynamically creates the `haproxy.cfg` based on the labels defined in docker containers.
EasyHAProxy dynamically creates the `haproxy.cfg` based on metadata collected from your workloads (Docker labels, Swarm service labels, or Kubernetes ingress annotations).
EasyHAProxy can detect and configure HAProxy automatically on the following platforms:
- Docker
- Docker Swarm
- Kubernetes
- Static YAML definitions (`EASYHAPROXY_DISCOVER=static`)

## Features
EasyHAProxy will discover the services based on the Docker Tags of the containers running on a Docker host or Docker Swarm cluster and dynamically set up the `haproxy.cfg`. Below, EasyHAProxy main features:
EasyHAProxy will discover services based on Docker (or Swarm) labels and Kubernetes ingress annotations, then dynamically build the `haproxy.cfg`. Below, EasyHAProxy main features:
- Support Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) protocol compatible with Let's encrypt and others CA.
- Support Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) protocol compatible with Let's Encrypt and other CAs.
- Set your custom SSL certificates
- Balance traffic between multiple replicas
- Set SSL with three different levels of validations and according to the most recent definitions.
- Set SSL policies (`strict`, `default`, `loose`) via `EASYHAPROXY_SSL_MODE`.
- Set up HAProxy to listen to TCP.
- Add redirects.
- Enable/disable Stats on port 1936 with a custom password.
