How To Install Perlbal on Fedora 34
Perlbal is Reverse-proxy load balance and web-server
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install Perlbal on Fedora 34.
What is Perlbal
Perlbal is a single-threaded event-based server supporting HTTP load balancing, web serving, and a mix of the two. Perlbal can act as either a web server or a reverse proxy. One of the defining things about Perlbal is that almost everything can be configured or reconfigured on the fly without needing to restart the software. A basic configuration file containing a management port enables you to easily perform operations on a running instance of Perlbal. Perlbal can also be extended by means of per-service (and global) plugins that can override many parts of request handling and behavior.
We can use yum or dnf to install Perlbal on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install Perlbal.
