Introduction
This guide provides a step-by-step approach to deploying an edge architecture in a Docker Swarm environment. We will set up HAProxy as a front proxy to Traefik, which will handle routing to backend services. Additionally, we will integrate GoAccess for real-time traffic analytics, allowing us to monitor and analyze incoming traffic effectively.Prerequisite
- Docker Swarm cluster with at least one manager and worker node.
- Basic understanding of Docker, Traefik, HAProxy, and GoAccess.

Overview
In this guide, we will cover the following steps:- Deploy HAProxy as a front proxy in Docker Swarm.
- Configure Traefik as a reverse proxy behind HAProxy.
- Set up GoAccess for real-time traffic analytics.
Step 1: Deploy HAProxy
Create a Docker Compose file for HAProxy:Step 2: Configure haproxy.cfg
Create the HAProxy configuration file (haproxy.cfg):
