This buildout is meant to build, configure and deploy a HAProxy load balancer that provides failover for PyPi (the Python Package Index).
It is not meant for production use but merely for easy testing and development of the HAProxy configuration, which then can be deployed to a HAProxy installed with the systems package manager.
No buildout.cfg file is supplied und should never be added to the
repository. Instead either create a symbolic link to an appropriate
configuration file (e.g. development.cfg) or extend a configuration if you
intend to make some customizations for your personal usage only.
Example:
ln -s development.cfg buildout.cfg
The development buildout will configure a supervisor that will launch a HAProxy
instance with verbose and debug mode enabled. Use bin/supervisord to initially
launch the supervisor and HAProxy with it, bin/supervisorctl to control the
supervisor or HAProxy instance and finally bin/supervisorctl shutdown to
shut down the supervisor and all processes it spawned.
