You don't need to change your current infrastructure and don't need to learn the HAProxy configuration.
The steps are:
- Run the EasyHAProxy container;
- Add some labels to the containers you want to be parsed by EasyHAProxy (see detailed instructions below);
- EasyHAProxy will automatically detect the containers, set up, and reload the HAProxy configurations for you without downtime.
