Raspberry is very cheap and has quite a lot of applications, for example, some people use it as a Wifi router,
For game consoles, monitors and many other IoT-related applications, I use it as a HAProxy.

Long story short, because I have an old Windows server, he runs old versions of PHP and Apache, and can't set up HTTPS certificates, so I want to say
Help through HAProxy. Let this old server also have https URL,
So to share my docker-compose.yml configuration.

Required knowledge:
This article assumes that you already know the relevant settings of haproxy.
If you do not know how to install docker and docker-compose on your Raspberry Pi, please refer to the following website:
https://www.ccc.tc/article/install -docker-and-docker-compose-on-raspberrypi

The settings for docker-compose are as follows:
The following is my docker-compose.yml settings
version: '3.6'
services:
 haproxy:
  network_mode: host
  image: haproxy
  restart: always
  environment:
    backend_server: 192.168.1.100
  volumes:
    - ./cert.pem:/etc/ssl/cert.pem
    - ./haproxy.cfg:/usr/local/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
There are several important settings here
1. restart: always
When it is successfully started, it will automatically start docker-compose again next time it is restarted, and there is no need to enter the Raspberry to command docker-compose up.
Regarding the restart policy (restart policy), at least 10 seconds after a successful startup, it means a successful startup, and it will automatically restart at the next restart.

2. network_mode: host
This is a network mode that can only be set by Linux, which can directly bind the port bound to the container to the host
(The so-called host refers to Raspberry, so it is tied to the eth0 network card of the Raspberry Pi),
So I can import the incoming traffic from Raspberry directly to the host (backend_server) of another entity.

3. environment
We can set the location of backend_server in the environment,
You can use this setting in the HAProxy configuration file.

Four, volumes
Mounted the credentials and haproxy.cfg settings.

Basic knowledge about basic instructions of docker-compose:
We can create a haproxy folder, put the docker-compose.yml file and certificate, and the haproxy configuration file.
Then, execute
docker-compose up -d
You can start it.
stop is:
docker-compose down
If we want to view the log, we can execute
docker-compose logs -f


Here is a simple diagram:
The blue line is the SSL-encrypted URL. After the traffic enters HAProxy, the traffic is directed to the backend (backend_server), an unencrypted URL.


Supplement
This article assumes that you have already understood the various settings of haproxy.cfg, and will not explain it. Please consult Google teacher yourself.
Some information about the fragments related to this docker-compose is for reference.
server web ${backend_server}:80 check cookie s1

# or
backend mysql
   mode tcp
   server database ${backend_server}:3306
The variable above, ${backend_server} is the 192.168.1.100 we set in docker-compose.yml.

curlftpfs introduction and manual certificate application

Situation sharing, imagine that you have WebHosting, which only provides FTP connection, and then you want to apply for a certificate manually. In this article, I share how I use Docker to install curlftpfs, mount the FTP folder of the remote host, and then execute certbot in the container to apply for an SSL certificate. Leaving aside the certificate application, when I first discovered the curlftpfs command, I found it very interesting, especially if you are a MacOS user and do not have a satisfactory FTP software at hand. You love scrolling through the command line as much as I do, so maybe you should love this command too. 🤭
