Hello,
Thanks for your remarks !
I think this is a nice addition, it completes well the ability to
load an arbitrary file list.
Good to hear that :)
I'm not sure to like this feature in its current implementation.
I fear it will also create some new issues depending on how people will
use it.
For example, I know lots of sysadmin who have the (bad) habit to make
backup of the configuration files in the same directory, without
cleaning it up. We may see some directories like this :
service1.cfg
service2.cfg
service2.cfg~
service3.cfg.20160509
service4.cfg-19980101
service5.cfg
service5.cfg.old
service6.cfg.disabled
...and so on.
When several sysadmins share the same haproxy instance, it can quickly
become annoying.
Other use cases I immediately see :
- some configurations provide the crt files in the same directory, which
will break things
- some others will store map files in the same directory also
- what about configurations with a README or similar in the directory ?
or swap files because someone else is editing a file at the same time ?
