+
+# Netdata via HAProxy
+
+> HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable solution offering high availability, load balancing,
+> and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications. It is particularly suited for very high traffic web sites
+> and powers quite a number of the world's most visited ones.
+
+If Netdata is running on a host running HAProxy, rather than connecting to Netdata from a port number, a domain name can
+be pointed at HAProxy, and HAProxy can redirect connections to the Netdata port. This can make it possible to connect to
+Netdata at `https://example.com` or `https://example.com/netdata/`, which is a much nicer experience then
+`http://example.com:19999`.
+
+To proxy requests from [HAProxy](https://github.com/haproxy/haproxy) to Netdata,
+the following configuration can be used:
+
+## Default Configuration
+
+For all examples, set the mode to `http`
+
+```conf
+defaults
+ mode http
+```
+
+## Simple Configuration
+
+A simple example where the base URL, say `http://example.com`, is used with no subpath:
+
+### Frontend
+
+Create a frontend to receive the request.
+
+```conf
+frontend http_frontend
+ ## HTTP ipv4 and ipv6 on all ips ##
+ bind :::80 v4v6
+
+ default_backend netdata_backend
+```
+
+### Backend
+
+Create the Netdata backend which will send requests to port `19999`.
+
+```conf
+backend netdata_backend
+ option forwardfor
+ server netdata_local 127.0.0.1:19999
+
+ http-request set-header Host %[src]
+ http-request set-header X-Forwarded-For %[src]
+ http-request set-header X-Forwarded-Port %[dst_port]
+ http-request set-header Connection "keep-alive"
+```
+
+## Configuration with subpath
+
+A example where the base URL is used with a subpath `/netdata/`:
+
+### Frontend
+
+To use a subpath, create an ACL, which will set a variable based on the subpath.
+
+```conf
+frontend http_frontend
+ ## HTTP ipv4 and ipv6 on all ips ##
+ bind :::80 v4v6
+
+ # URL begins with /netdata
+ acl is_netdata url_beg /netdata
+
+ # if trailing slash is missing, redirect to /netdata/
+ http-request redirect scheme https drop-query append-slash if is_netdata ! { path_beg /netdata/ }
+
+ ## Backends ##
+ use_backend netdata_backend if is_netdata
+
+ # Other requests go here (optional)
+ # put netdata_backend here if no others are used
+ default_backend www_backend
+```
+
+### Backend
+
+Same as simple example, except remove `/netdata/` with regex.
+
+```conf
+backend netdata_backend
+ option forwardfor
+ server netdata_local 127.0.0.1:19999
+
+ http-request set-path %[path,regsub(^/netdata/,/)]
+
+ http-request set-header Host %[src]
+ http-request set-header X-Forwarded-For %[src]
+ http-request set-header X-Forwarded-Port %[dst_port]
+ http-request set-header Connection "keep-alive"
+```
+
+## Using TLS communication
+
+TLS can be used by adding port `443` and a cert to the frontend.
+This example will only use Netdata if host matches example.com (replace with your domain).
+
+### Frontend
+
+This frontend uses a certificate list.
+
+```conf
+frontend https_frontend
+ ## HTTP ##
+ bind :::80 v4v6
+ # Redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS with 301 redirect
+ redirect scheme https code 301 if !{ ssl_fc }
+
+ ## HTTPS ##
+ # Bind to all v4/v6 addresses, use a list of certs in file
+ bind :::443 v4v6 ssl crt-list /etc/letsencrypt/certslist.txt
+
+ ## ACL ##
+ # Optionally check host for Netdata
+ acl is_example_host hdr_sub(host) -i example.com
+
+ ## Backends ##
+ use_backend netdata_backend if is_example_host
+ # Other requests go here (optional)
+ default_backend www_backend
+```
+
+In the cert list file place a mapping from a certificate file to the domain used:
+
+`/etc/letsencrypt/certslist.txt`:
+
+```txt
+example.com /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/example.com.pem
+```
+
+The file `/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/example.com.pem` should contain the key and
+certificate (in that order) concatenated into a `.pem` file.:
+
+```sh
+cat /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem \
+ /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem > \
+ /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/example.com.pem
+```
+
+### Backend
+
+Same as simple, except set protocol `https`.
+
+```conf
+backend netdata_backend
+ option forwardfor
+ server netdata_local 127.0.0.1:19999
+
+ http-request add-header X-Forwarded-Proto https
+ http-request set-header Host %[src]
+ http-request set-header X-Forwarded-For %[src]
+ http-request set-header X-Forwarded-Port %[dst_port]
+ http-request set-header Connection "keep-alive"
+```
+
+## Enable authentication
+
+To use basic HTTP Authentication, create an authentication list:
+
+```conf
+# HTTP Auth
+userlist basic-auth-list
+ group is-admin
+ # Plaintext password
+ user admin password passwordhere groups is-admin
+```
+
+You can create a hashed password using the `mkpassword` utility.
+
+```sh
+ printf "passwordhere" | mkpasswd --stdin --method=sha-256
+$5$l7Gk0VPIpKO$f5iEcxvjfdF11khw.utzSKqP7W.0oq8wX9nJwPLwzy1
+```
+
+Replace `passwordhere` with hash:
+
+```conf
+user admin password $5$l7Gk0VPIpKO$f5iEcxvjfdF11khw.utzSKqP7W.0oq8wX9nJwPLwzy1 groups is-admin
+```
+
+Now add at the top of the backend:
+
+```conf
+acl devops-auth http_auth_group(basic-auth-list) is-admin
+http-request auth realm netdata_local unless devops-auth
+```
+
