Overview

Adds a how-to guide, docs/how-to/configure-backend-protocol.md, explaining how to configure HTTPS as the communication protocol between the haproxy charm and its backend applications.

This adapts the content originally proposed in #195 to the current RTD documentation format, following the conventions used by the other how-to guides.

Rationale

The original PR (#195) predates the current docs structure and used outdated relation/endpoint names. This version:

  • Renames the file to kebab-case (configure-backend-protocol.md) and adds the MyST anchor (how_to_configure_backend_protocol)=.
  • Uses the current receive-ca-certs relation endpoint (the old certificates-transfer name no longer exists).
  • Uses self-signed-certificates as the CA provider and ingress-configurator as the haproxy-route requirer, matching the other guides.
  • References the correct CAs location (/var/lib/haproxy/cas/cas.pem).
  • Registers the guide in the how-to index.md toctree (Security section) and adds a changelog entry.

Documentation

  • make html builds successfully.
  • make spelling and make lint-md both pass.

Thanks for creating this how-to guide! The content LGTM with some suggestions. Not approving yet because I have some open questions about the scope and whether we should include this page in the home page's table
