pfSense + HAProxy – Reverse Proxy with multiple Services on one internal IP - linux

currently I am using pfSense on my server with the HAProxy package, because I can easily configure it via the GUI.
I configured HAProxy to act as a reverse proxy corresponding to this guide: https://blog.devita.co/pfsense-to-proxy-traffic-for-websites-using-pfsense/
SSL offloading works like a charm. The problem I have is when I have more than one service (open port) on the same internal IP it seems not to be working.
Example:
I configure service1.domain.com for Service1 with port 8000 (10.100.10.101:8000) and it works flawlessly.
Now I need another port on the same machine (e.g. 10.100.10.101:8082) with another service. If I configure another backend pointing to the same IP but with a different port I can only reach the second servce (service2.domain.com) even if I access service1.domain.com.
My use case is that I am trying to set up Seafile which is using port 8000 for the web GUI and port 8082 for the fileserver. Right now I am able to access the web GUI but I am not able to upload, download or share files.

I would really be glad if anyone can point me in the right direction, thank you in advance and if you need further information please tell me.

I was able to solve my problem with the help of one awesome user over on reddit.
The first problem was that I misconfigured my frontend and thus had 3 default_backends. That was the reason why every services pointed to the same virtual machine. To solve it I just had to add the if condition corresponding to my ACL name.
The second problem was that my Service2 was shown as DOWN on the HAProxy stats page. I had to change the health check method from HTTP to Basic and that finally resolved everything.
This is the working configuration:

TLDR: I misconfigured my Action Table and had the wrong health check in place.

How can i get content path in Haproxy?

You can try to set the dst port via http-request set-dst-port
Here a untested example, just that you get the idea
backend webs2
http-request set-var(txn.dst-port) %[url,'regsub("\/","",i)']
http-request set-dst-port %[var(txn.dst-port)]
server webserver1 0.0.0.0:0
Here is the documentation for http-request set-dst

HAProxy tcp mode source client ip

I have the following setup in HAProxy
global
log /dev/log local0
log /dev/log local1 notice
chroot /var/lib/haproxy
stats socket /run/haproxy/admin.sock mode 660 level admin
stats timeout 30s

default_backend https
backend https
mode tcp
balance roundrobin
option tcp-check
server traefik 192.168.128.5:9443 check fall 3 rise 2
And it works as expected, the backend server "traefik" is doing the SSL termination of the requests.
The thing is the client source IP I get in the backend server is the HAProxy's IP and I would like to pass the source IP to the backend server.
Is it possible at all? because I tried all the options I saw in internet.
Thanks.
At the end the solution was to use https://www.haproxy.com/blog/haproxy/proxy-protocol/ as it is supported by HAProxy and traefik.

How to install mod_websocket with Lighttpd?

I want to make Lighttpd works with websocket (Socket.IO) and it appears the only way to do so is to install an additionnal module: mod_websocket. I followed these steps but I think I don't get the right /path/to/lighttpd_top_srcdir. I used /usr/lib/lighttpd as I saw all the modules in here when I ls-ed it.
Apparently, I need to reinstall Lighttpd, am I right?
So far, I got
copy mod_websocket files into /usr/lib/lighttpd
cp src/mod_websocket*.{h,c} /usr/lib/lighttpd/src
cp: target « /usr/lib/lighttpd/src » is not a directory
I need to do this because the error I get when trying to make websockets work is the following: WebSocket connection to 'ws://<myURL>/socket.io/1/websocket/agXkznae1gmlDTutzJyk' failed: Unrecognized frame opcode: 5 (I use Google Chrome v33.0.1750.154).
Is there another way to make websockets work with Lighttpd or do I need to change webserver?
Many thanks!
I resolved my problem!
I used HAProxy instead of Lighttpd mod_proxy as specified in this question

502 Bad Gateway HAproxy

I have Ubuntu 12.04LTS running. My webserver is Tomcat 7.0.42 and I use HAProxy as proxy server. My application is a servlet application which uses websockets.
Sometime when I request my page I get "502 Bad Gateway" error on some resources not on all, but on some. I think that this has something to do with my HAProxy configuration, which is the following:
global
maxconn 4096 # Total Max Connections. This is dependent on ulimit
nbproc 1
defaults
mode http
option http-server-close
option httpclose
# option redispatch
no option checkcache # test against 502 error
frontend all 0.0.0.0:80
timeout client 86400000
default_backend www_backend
acl is_websocket hdr(Upgrade) -i WebSocket
acl is_websocket hdr_beg(Host) -i ws
use_backend socket_backend if is_websocket
backend www_backend
balance roundrobin
option forwardfor # This sets X-Forwarded-For
timeout server 30000
timeout connect 4000
server apiserver localhost:8080 weight 1 maxconn 1024 check
backend socket_backend
balance roundrobin
option forwardfor # This sets X-Forwarded-For
timeout queue 5000
timeout server 86400000
timeout connect 86400000
server apiserver localhost:8080 weight 1 maxconn 1024 check
What do I have to change to prevent the 502 error?
First, enable haproxy logging. It will simply tell you why it is giving the 502's. My guess is that the backend "localhost:8080" is simply not able to keep up or is not able to get a connection within 4000ms "timeout connect 4000".
You may have exceeded some of the default limits in HAProxy. Try adding the following to global section:
tune.maxrewrite 4096
tune.http.maxhdr 202
Your should replace your defaults with these ones :
# Set balance mode
balance random
# Set http mode
mode http
# Set http keep alive mode (https://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/2.3/configuration.html#4)
option http-keep-alive
# Set http log format
option httplog
# Dont log empty line
option dontlognull
# Dissociate client from dead server
option redispatch
# Insert X-Forwarded-For header
option forwardfor
Don't use http-server-close, it is likely the cause of your problems.
Keep-alive will have a connection with client and server at both side.
It is working fine with websockets as well.
And if you enable the check on the server you need to as well configure it with something like this :
# Enable http check
option httpchk
# Use server configuration
http-check connect default
# Use HEAD on / with HTTP/1.1 protocol for Host example.com
http-check send meth HEAD uri / ver HTTP/1.1 hdr Host example.com
# Expect status 200 to 399
http-check expect status 200-399
