Load balancers are awesome. We are using a custom one for 20 Gbit/s science data transfers. Without a load balancer servers would crash during peak times, replacing any would require a downtime. For home, once you are more confident with the setup, raspberry pi as a load balancer might fit your needs too (I used to have a cluster running on my desk with one of them doing the balancing).

There's one thing missing in this. While you have a static IP for your home (likely due to you being a business customer for your ISP), it's not likely to be true for a variety of end users. So another service like Dynamic DNS might be needed to update any IP changes for their home network. Otherwise their services might just stop working at some point.

I think he makes Networking and the things you can do with the underlying skills far more cool than what seems the traditional skills. To some it may seem like normal things. To others it’s just cool ways to use Tech, the skills, and other apps with them having a NAS at home in unconventional ways to do Cool Stuff. And that to me is just so cool. As I get excited about that and clearly too others are.

Thanks for this Chuck! I did something similar to this about 10 years ago using HAproxy on my pfSense VM, haven't really bothered to set it back up since moving interstate & leaving my old homelab setup behind. but my new home lab is growing & I think it's about time that I get my private cloud back online. Thanks for the kick in the pants! Something you've missed here, is that you can also add services hosted on a public VPS to your load ballancer, This lets you have cross site failover.

For those who struggled like I did, if around 14:13 you rstatus comes up "disabled" go back and modify the subVS and add port 443 as the "checked port"

I do that too, but for analytical purposes. I caught Amazon performing a DNS scan inside my network and tried opening ports to Cloudflare to gather intel about me.

Isn't this nearly the same with the only difference that the one (load balancer (LB)) can balance the load and a reverse proxy (RP) doesn't do this on it's own (maybe with some modules enabled or so and configured)? I think in this case it's ok to call it a LB, because he uses it's functionality for his website (they have the same url but point to two different ip-addresses). Most of the people out there doesn't need a LB. They would be totally fine with a simple RP. But I have to say that what I have seen so far, the ease of configuration with this LB, would be better for most people instead of configure apache or nginx config files with vim. PS. I have seen after I wrote the stuff that other comments have the exact same point...

Bro this is wicked! I have to many questions! Love it keep up your amazing free education

If you needed multiple servers on your network to serve a website, to distribute load, you would then use a load balancer to distribute incoming connections to the various back end webservers. This configuration is much more a reverse proxy than a load balancer, which is a useful thing but it isn't balancing loads. Also, for multiple DNS records that point to the same IP you could use CNAME records instead of additional A records. This would be especially useful for anyone that doesn't have a static IP address so you don't have to update multiple records anytime your IP changes. (Really you should setup dynamic DNS, which CloudFlare supports, if you don't have a static IP). Lastly, you want to be careful what you expose to the internet. I would not recommend putting your NAS, ESXi, Proxmox or other services like it directly on the internet. To access things like that you're much better off setting up a VPN into your network instead.

It all depends on traffic. On a physical LB you can bond multiple copper or Fiber ports to get more through put. On the Virtual you are limited by what the Host can deliver. There is also hardware SSL acceleration on physical balancer which can make a difference in high traffic environments.

If you think about it all public (AWS, Google, Azure, Linode) etc. are using virtual appliances and they work extremely well. You can also LAG/bond virtual interfaces up to 16 if desired, similar to hardware. Most physical appliances have an ASIC card dedicated for SSL offload so that the LB CPU doesn't have to do the heavy lifting of the SSL work (client key exchange) ... improving SSL TPS or transactions per second. Def pros and cons for each deployment type.

Isn't this just like a Reverse Proxy?

What he describes initially is a reverse proxy, but most reverse proxies have load balancing capabilities. I personally have used Nginx and Haproxy for years.

Yeah I don’t understand, he’s all hyped up about load balancing but he just uses it as a reverse proxy lol

A reverse proxy and a load balancer are slightly different things. Related and incorporated with each other, but slightly different. A reverse proxy, well, proxies inbound connections. Meaning it terminates TCP, very likely SSL, and can sometimes modify HTTP content. A load balancer can select between different servers to which to forward traffic based on whatever load balancing algorithm is configured (round-robin, least connections, least bandwidth, rule-based, etc.)

You are da' man, thanks for the great walkthrough and Kemp.

this is really good thank you for explaining and showing us how to use and setting up load balance.
