Libra is an experiment to create a cluster-internal service-specific load balancer using off-the-shelf components.
Table of Contents
It uses:
- consul for service discovery (and thus consul-template for templating)
- traefik for load balancing
- dumb-init for an init script
And it all runs in Docker, to boot.
To run it in your cluster, run this:
docker run --rm -name=${APP}-lb -e SERVICE=${APP} --rm -p 8000:80 asteris-llc/libra:latest
Where APP is the Consul application you would like balanced. Then, connect to
:8000 and you're done.
