Haproxy how-tos no longer available

[ddt3]

In this page: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/reverse_proxy.html, the documentation references Haproxy How-Tos: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/haproxy.html
But those How-Tos no longer exist.

This is also true for the web interface of the haproxy plugin, it refers to the same non-existent howtos.

This basically means that at the moment there is no opnsense haproxy documentation at all

Seems like it was removed because it was outdated:

HAProxy plugin went through 4 major iterations. I'm not sure which version the docs that a core dev wrote (not the maintainer) referred to, but as such the information given wasn't matching reality anymore. So it was removed again.

That's a pity.
Because I can of course read the original HAproxy documentation, but that documentation describes how to use HAproxy config  files and does not explain where to look in the opnsense UI.

I would be more than willing to create a pull request for updated documentation but that means that first I need to understand it myself :-)

It might be good to ask the maintainer beforehand if he intends to change it again and/or if he could help with getting the docs ready. Without this component I fear it will be another wasted effort.

Plugin maintainer here. I don't plan another overhaul of the HAProxy plugin GUI. ;D So if anyone wants to start building a documentation, yes, please go ahead. Or if you think that some information could be added to one of the "introduction" pages, please submit your suggestion on GitHub...

I may review documentation (GitHub pull requests), but I can't put any effort into writing documentation in the foreseeable future. That being said, there's some good documentation out there...
