# HAProxy Manager

A Flask-based API service for managing HAProxy configurations, domains, and SSL certificates.
A Flask-based API service for managing HAProxy configurations with dynamic SSL certificate management and health monitoring.

To run the container:
```bash
# Without API key authentication (default)
docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -p 8000:8000 -v lets-encrypt:/etc/letsencrypt -v haproxy:/etc/haproxy --name haproxy-manager repo.anhonesthost.net/cloud-hosting-platform/haproxy-manager-base:latest

# With API key authentication (recommended for production)
docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -p 8000:8000 -v lets-encrypt:/etc/letsencrypt -v haproxy:/etc/haproxy -e HAPROXY_API_KEY=your-secure-api-key-here --name haproxy-manager repo.anhonesthost.net/cloud-hosting-platform/haproxy-manager-base:latest
```

## Security

### API Key Authentication

When the `HAPROXY_API_KEY` environment variable is set, all API endpoints (except `/health` and `/`) require authentication using a Bearer token:

```bash
# Example API call with authentication
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer your-secure-api-key-here" \
     http://localhost:8000/api/domains
```

If no API key is set, the service runs without authentication (useful for development).

## Requirements

- HAProxy
- Python 3.x
- Flask
- SQLite3
- Certbot (for Let's Encrypt certificates)
- OpenSSL (for self-signed start-up certificate)

## Web UI Interface

The HAProxy Manager includes a web-based user interface accessible at port 8000, providing:
- Domain and backend server management interface
- SSL certificate status monitoring

__Do Not Expose port 8000 to the open internet__
If you need to have it exposed to the internet, restrict it to an IP Address via IPTABLES or other firewalls.
```bash
# Allow access from the specific IP address (replace 192.168.1.100 with your IP)
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8000 -s {YOUR_PUBLIC_IP} -j ACCEPT

# Drop all other connections to port 8000
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8000 -j DROP
```
If you need to be able to access the web interface from multiple locations, I recommend putting it behind an authenticated Proxy like Authentik

## Logging and Monitoring

The HAProxy Manager includes comprehensive logging and error tracking:

### Log Files
- `/var/log/haproxy-manager.log` - General application logs
- `/var/log/haproxy-manager-errors.log` - Error logs for alerting

### Logged Operations
All API operations are logged with timestamps and success/failure status:
- Domain management (add/remove)
- SSL certificate operations
- Configuration generation
- HAProxy reload/restart operations
- Certificate renewals

### Error Alerting
Failed operations are logged to the error log file. You can monitor this file for alerting:
```bash
# Monitor error log for alerting
tail -f /var/log/haproxy-manager-errors.log
```

## Environment Variables

| Variable | Description | Default |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| `HAPROXY_API_KEY` | API key for authentication (optional) | None (no auth) |
| `HAPROXY_DEFAULT_PAGE_TITLE` | Title for the default page | Site Not Configured |
| `HAPROXY_DEFAULT_MAIN_MESSAGE` | Main message on the default page | This domain has not been configured yet. Please contact your system administrator to set up this website. |
| `HAPROXY_DEFAULT_SECONDARY_MESSAGE` | Secondary message on the default page | If you believe this is an error, please check the domain name and try again. |

## Default Backend Configuration

When a domain is accessed that hasn't been configured in HAProxy, the system will serve a default page instead of showing an error. This default page:

- Informs visitors that the site is not configured
- Displays the domain name and current timestamp
- Is fully customizable through environment variables

### Customizing the Default Page

You can customize the default page by setting environment variables:

```bash
docker run -d \
  -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -p 8000:8000 \
  -v lets-encrypt:/etc/letsencrypt \
  -v haproxy:/etc/haproxy \
  -e HAPROXY_API_KEY=your-secure-api-key-here \
  -e HAPROXY_DEFAULT_PAGE_TITLE="Website Coming Soon" \
  -e HAPROXY_DEFAULT_MAIN_MESSAGE="This website is currently under construction and will be available soon." \
  -e HAPROXY_DEFAULT_SECONDARY_MESSAGE="Please check back later or contact us for more information." \
  --name haproxy-manager \
  repo.anhonesthost.net/cloud-hosting-platform/haproxy-manager-base:latest
```
