Portal uses govendor to manage dependencies. After clone, run govendor sync to ensure you have the proper dependencies prior to building.
- vip testing
- balance vips across cluster
- redis cluster init to get and set certs and vips
-
0.1.1 - 17-06-20
- Log and fail if db init fails
- Use govendor for deps
- Pre-validate protocol for services
- Log all 'forwarded-for' ips
-
0.1.0 - 17-01-24
- Fixed start issues related to VIPs
-
Added ability to specify interface when registering a service
-
Users can now add vips to portal
-
Portal now uses the service host for server's hosts that are "127.0.0.1"
