This folder contains examples of using Confd with StackEngine for an nginx reverse proxy or haproxy.

You can download confd from http://www.confd.io/. You may need to build confd with gb until the StackEngine backend is accepted into the new release.

Create 2 folders: a) sudo mkdir /etc/confd b) sudo mkdir /etc/confd/templates c) sudo mkdir /etc/confd/conf.d

Place your *.tmpl files in the /etc/confd/templates folder and the *.toml files in the /etc/confd/conf.d directory.

To start up confd using StackEngine as a backend, you can run this command:

sudo ./bin/confd -backend stackengine -node <your_stackengine_node_url> -scheme https -auth-token <your_stackengine_auth_token>

Example:

sudo ./bin/confd -backend stackengine -node mesh-01:8443 -scheme https -auth-token 48de1cc472b6a81f

On the stackengine side, you can run this example with a docker image named "karthequian:helloworld/latest" saved as a component called "hello". At config time, map the stack to a dynamic port for the host, and container port to :80. You'll want to call your instance "i1". You can call this something else, but will need to update your toml and tmpl files to associate correctly with appropriate service discovery sections from StackEngine.
