Hello, I am looking for a alternative to HA Proxy, as the GUI options for it, are both third-party and not very good looking, also I just want to know about the alternatives, what I am looking in a high availability setup is the ability to detect if a server is offline, and route to other servers, as well as other HA goodies.

Personally, I find Traefik much simpler than Nginx, especially with Kubernetes, but even with pure docker, but it's definitely not as performant. That's balanced by the fact that it does a lot of automatic detection and has dynamic config loading so I don't have to break other services when changing configurations.
