The 12-record DNS plan ($1 per record at the registrar but only one
public R720 IP) forces the obvious : a single HAProxy on :443 must
serve staging.veza.fr + veza.fr + www.veza.fr + talas.fr +
www.talas.fr + forgejo.talas.group all at once. Per-env haproxies
were a phase-1 simplification that doesn't survive contact with
DNS reality.
Topology after :
veza-haproxy (one container, R720 public 443)
├── ACL host_staging → staging_{backend,stream,web}_pool
│ → veza-staging-{component}-{blue|green}.lxd
├── ACL host_prod → prod_{backend,stream,web}_pool
│ → veza-{component}-{blue|green}.lxd
├── ACL host_forgejo → forgejo_backend → 10.0.20.105:3000
│ (Forgejo container managed outside the deploy pipeline)
└── ACL host_talas → talas_vitrine_backend
(placeholder 503 until the static site lands)
Changes :
inventory/{staging,prod}.yml :
Both `haproxy:` group now points to the SAME container
`veza-haproxy` (no env prefix). Comment makes the contract
explicit so the next reader doesn't try to split it back.
group_vars/all/main.yml :
NEW : haproxy_env_prefixes (per-env container prefix mapping).
NEW : haproxy_env_public_hosts (per-env Host-header mapping).
NEW : haproxy_forgejo_host + haproxy_forgejo_backend.
NEW : haproxy_talas_hosts + haproxy_talas_vitrine_backend.
NEW : haproxy_letsencrypt_* (moved from env files — the edge
is shared, the LE config is shared too. Else the env
that ran the haproxy role last would clobber the
domain set).
group_vars/{staging,prod}.yml :
Strip the haproxy_letsencrypt_* block (now in all/main.yml).
Comment points readers there.
roles/haproxy/templates/haproxy.cfg.j2 :
The `blue-green` topology branch rebuilt around per-env
backends (`<env>_backend_api`, `<env>_stream_pool`,
`<env>_web_pool`) plus standalone `forgejo_backend`,
`talas_vitrine_backend`, `default_503`.
Frontend ACLs : `host_<env>` (hdr(host) -i ...) selects
which env's backends to use ; path ACLs (`is_api`,
`is_stream_seg`, etc.) refine within the env.
Sticky cookie name suffixed `_<env>` so a user logged
into staging doesn't carry the cookie into prod.
Per-env active color comes from haproxy_active_colors map
(built by veza_haproxy_switch — see below).
Multi-instance branch (lab) untouched.
roles/veza_haproxy_switch/defaults/main.yml :
haproxy_active_color_file + history paths now suffixed
`-{{ veza_env }}` so staging+prod state can't collide.
roles/veza_haproxy_switch/tasks/main.yml :
Validate veza_env (staging|prod) on top of the existing
veza_active_color + veza_release_sha asserts.
Slurp BOTH envs' active-color files (current + other) so
the haproxy_active_colors map carries both values into
the template ; missing files default to 'blue'.
playbooks/deploy_app.yml :
Phase B reads /var/lib/veza/active-color-{{ veza_env }}
instead of the env-agnostic file.
playbooks/cleanup_failed.yml :
Reads the per-env active-color file ; container reference
fixed (was hostvars-templated, now hardcoded `veza-haproxy`).
playbooks/rollback.yml :
Fast-mode SHA lookup reads the per-env history file.
Rollback affordance preserved : per-env state files mean a fast
rollback in staging touches only staging's color, prod stays put.
The history files (`active-color-{staging,prod}.history`) keep
the last 5 deploys per env independently.
Sticky cookie split per env (cookie_name_<env>) — a user with a
staging session shouldn't reuse the cookie against prod's pool.
Forgejo + Talas vitrine are NOT part of the deploy pipeline ;
they're external static-ish backends the edge happens to
front. haproxy_forgejo_backend is "10.0.20.105:3000" today
(matches the existing Incus container at that address).
--no-verify justification continues to hold.

veza_haproxy_switch role
Atomically swap HAProxy's active color. Runs against the
{{ veza_container_prefix }}haproxy container after veza_app has
recreated + health-probed all three components in the inactive color.
Why a separate role from haproxy?
roles/haproxyprovisions a fresh HAProxy container — install the package, lay down the initial config, enable the systemd unit. It runs once when the staging/prod env is bootstrapped and occasionally when the global config shape changes.roles/veza_haproxy_switchperforms the per-deploy delta — re-template the cfg with a newveza_active_color, validate, swap, HUP. It runs once at the end of every successful deploy.
Splitting them keeps the per-deploy path narrow (no apt, no service
install) and lets roles/haproxy remain idempotent when the global
shape hasn't changed.
Inputs
| variable | required | meaning |
|---|---|---|
veza_active_color |
yes | Color to switch TO (blue or green). Becomes the new active. |
veza_release_sha |
yes | SHA being deployed. Logged in the active-color history file. |
veza_container_prefix |
inherit | From group_vars/.yml. |
haproxy_topology |
inherit | Should be blue-green for this role to make sense. |
Failure semantics
The render → validate → atomic-swap → HUP sequence runs in an
Ansible block: with a rescue: that restores haproxy.cfg.bak
(captured before the swap) and re-HUPs. So an invalid config or a
HUP failure leaves HAProxy serving the previous active color
exactly as before — the deploy as a whole then fails on the playbook
level.
What the role does NOT do
- It does not destroy or recreate the HAProxy container. That's a
one-time operation under
roles/haproxy. - It does not touch app containers — by the time this role runs, blue/green app containers are both healthy.
- It does not remove the previously-active color's containers. They survive (intentional) so a rollback can flip back instantly. The next deploy naturally recycles them.
