HAProxy is a free, very fast, and reliable reverse-proxy offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications.
A unique feature is that HAProxy can be configured for TLS termination to occur locally on the HAProxy server or it can be configured to pass through TLS termination at the backend via SNI.
Installation
HAProxy package is available in the Alpine Linux repositories. To install it run:
apk update apk add haproxy
System scripts
If you are running OpenRC, then you can install with:
apk update apk add haproxy-openrc
If you are running runit, s6, or dinit, (or other), then there are no scripts packaged for your init systems yet. Please feel free to contribute a package with them.
Local Documentation

apk add haproxy-doc
