haproxy

HAProxy is a free, open source high availability solution, providing load balancing and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications by spreading requests across multiple servers.

docker-compose.yml

haproxy:
  image: haproxy:alpine
  volumes:
    - ./haproxy.cfg:/usr/local/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
  net: host
  restart: always

haproxy.cfg

This sample config shows you how to setup a simple tcp load balancer.
