✨ HAPROXYCTL ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the haproxyctl manual page 💖 this is the haproxyctl(1) page from the haproxyctl manual — say hi to your new fave little utility for managing HAProxy. she's small, she's handy, she's giving "I make your life easier and I know it" 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

haproxyctl — the utility to manage HAProxy. that's it, that's the job 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

haproxyctl

no flags, no drama, no nothing — just her name, sitting there looking iconic ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically haproxyctl is a wrapper — a cute little layer on top — whose whole mission is to make life with HAProxy a little more convenient 💖 not everything has to be a whole ordeal, yk?

and if you want the complete help, the full tea, the whole lore, you just run this:

haproxyctl --help

she will tell you everything, no cap 👑

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

here's where it gets fun, bestie. look at how easy this is 😭

show HAProxy status

haproxyctl status

just. status. that's it. checking in on your HAProxy like "hey girl, how we feeling" 💅

show errors to the backend servers

haproxyctl "show errors"

peep those backend errors. the quotes are doing the work here, keep them, they're the main character 🔥

disable complete server on the fly

haproxyctl "disable all server1"

disabling a whole entire server, live, mid-run, no restart, no ceremony. it's giving emergency brake but make it graceful 😌

enable complete server on the fly

haproxyctl "enable all server1"

and when you're done being dramatic, you bring her right back. enable all of server1, on the fly, boom. we love a reversible decision ✨
