Hello, I am looking for a alternative to HA Proxy, as the GUI options for it, are both third-party and not very good looking, also I just want to know about the alternatives, what I am looking in a high availability setup is the ability to detect if a server is offline, and route to other servers, as well as other HA goodies.
Pretty much all of them.
I didn’t know haproxy had a GUI, but the config files are very simple. I would just modify an example one and call it good.

If your requirement is a GUI, you’re not going to find anything. HA Proxy is also the most performance out of anything out there last I looked, and it’s got one of the simplest configuration setups.

I use HAProxy and Caddy, and for different reasons:
It works really well. My router is configured as a DNS server to route my domains to my local network, so I get to use TLS even on my LAN, which is neat.

I can confirm caddy is more of a high availability proxy than a proper load balancer, but it does it’s job and has an api you can hook up to a gui if you want. Or like I do - to a config repo with ci/cd deployment.

apache can do load balancing as well httpd.apache.org/docs/…/mod_proxy_balancer.html
I’d pick something that you already use across your stack, to minimize the number of different integration/config styles/bugs…
