singload

Reduce load-balancing complexity by routing HTTP requests to a single node.

Description

Routing traffic to multiple nodes using a load-balancer increases your system's complexity, and singload solves exactly that problem.
Simply enter a single node address and singload will route traffic to it using the round-robin strategy. Singload avoids complexity by not evaluating the target node's health, not routing HTTPS requests, and routing on port 80 only.

Installation

wget https://github.com/wohb/singload/releases/latest/download/singload
mv singload /path/of/choice/singload
chmod +x /path/of/choice/singload

Usage

The singload load-balancer listens on port 80, and by default routes requests to '127.0.0.1' to reduce complexity even more

singload

Run singload and specify an address
