A howto guide on setting up a simple and secure blog server using haproxy to serve https, hugo to serve the website, cerbot to generate the tls certificate, and crowdsec for defense
This is my first post on my new site, I hope someone finds it helpful!
I’d love to see more on something like Envoy as the reverse proxy. I tend to think of reverse proxies in “generations”:
Apache and Friends
Nginx and Buddies
HAProxy and Pals
Envoy and Associates
I’m rather familiar with 0-2 from my previous work. It’s really a pity, to me, that nginx is favored so heavily over HAProxy as in all perf and HA testing that I’ve done has resulted in nginx being left in the dust. The benchmarks that I’ve seen for Envoy show similar standings. I just haven’t spent the time yet to get familiar with it.
