Would you not like to turn your router into a low cost hardware load
balancer like Big IP?
Whether you run your own business or just home office services like
eMail, print server, and and a local wiki, it gets annoying when you
have to turn down a server for upgrades or maintenance. When you do,
your services are gone. And what if your server fails?
Hardware is so cheap you can set up your own cluster even with 2
Raspberry Pi.
But how do you route requests to your servers, balance the load, detect
when one is down, resume balancing when the previously down server is up
again and so on?
Now you can!
Three pull requests are ready for you to test so that they can be
included in the LEDE distribution:
1) kernel: add ip_vs kernel modules configuration to enable load
balancer <https://github.com/lede-project/source/pull/928>
https://github.com/lede-project/source/pull/928
2) ipvsadm: add kernel configuration tool and utilities for Virtual
Server Load <https://github.com/lede-project/source/pull/936>
https://github.com/lede-project/source/pull/936
3)luci-app-ipvs: add Virtual Server Load Balancer configuration
<https://github.com/openwrt/luci/pull/1061>
https://github.com/openwrt/luci/pull/1061
Please help this initiative by testing and providing feedback so that
the Load Balancer can be included in LEDE.
