I bought a VPS OVH (Canada) to install a HAProxy to balance the load from 3 BungeeCords on my server, the problem is that I have set my dedicated server and runs smoothly, I created a OpenVZ VPS I've tried and It runs smoothly, but in the KVM VPS OVH does not work. What I can do?
Depends which kernel that you use because usually the new 2016 are coming with linux 3 kernel (ovh vps's)
[[email protected] ~]# uname -a Linux vps81430.vps.ovh.ca 3.10.0-327.18.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu May 12 11:03:55 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [[email protected] ~]#
Maybe one of these guides would fit: https://www.upcloud.com/support/haproxy-load-balancer-centos/ https://haproxy.com/doc/hapee/1.5/installation/centos7.html But I'd recommend by following the guide of haproxy.com
Why use haproxy to load balance, when you can just use your DNS? Just create multiple A records. mc.your.server -> 198.0.0.1 mc.your.server -> 198.0.0.2 mc.your.server -> 198.0.0.3 It's what most large scale networks do. i.e: https://whatsmydns.net/#A/mc.hypixel.net
Who is your host currently? I'm sure they'll have DDoS protection. Plus if you're needing >1 BungeeCord (400+ players), I'm sure you can afford some DDoS protection?
