Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to VMNO deployments support bastion HAProxy, but the new documentation says the feature is MNO-only. This can prevent VMNO users from configuring the supported access path; correct the documentation before merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

I think this always returns False, an alternative could be {{ controlplane_network[0] is ansible.utils.ipv6 }}

This commit renames and extends the bastion HAProxy role to support both
connected IPv4 clusters on private networks and disconnected IPv6 clusters,
providing a unified solution for cluster access via bastion proxy.
Key changes:
1. Role Rename
- Renamed bastion-disconnected-haproxy → bastion-haproxy
- Better reflects dual IPv4/IPv6 support and multiple use cases
2. HAProxy Template Enhancement (templates/haproxy.cfg.j2)
- Added IP version detection using ansible.utils.ipaddr filter
- Created format_backend_addr() macro for conditional bracket notation
- IPv6 addresses: [fd00:198:18::3]:6443 (with brackets)
- IPv4 addresses: 192.168.10.3:6443 (no brackets)
- Fixes HAProxy syntax errors when using IPv4 addresses
3. New Configuration Variable (vars/all.sample.yml)
- Added setup_bastion_haproxy: false
- Enables manual HAProxy setup for connected IPv4 clusters
- Complements automatic setup for disconnected environments
- Documented as MNO/VMNO only (SNO not supported)
4. Updated Playbook Invocation (setup-bastion.yml)
- Changed role name to bastion-haproxy
- Extended trigger condition to include setup_bastion_haproxy
- Maintains backward compatibility with use_bastion_registry and
setup_bastion_proxy triggers
5. Added Validation (roles/validate-vars/tasks/main.yml)
- Prevents setup_bastion_haproxy with public_vlan (mutually exclusive)
- Prevents setup_bastion_haproxy with cluster_type: sno
- SNO clusters don't use VIPs and are accessed directly
- Clear error messages explain mutual exclusivity
6. Documentation Overhaul (docs/bastion-haproxy.md)
- Renamed from disconnected-ipv6-cluster-access.md
- Comprehensive coverage of all use cases:
* Connected IPv4 MNO/VMNO clusters on private networks (manual setup)
* Disconnected IPv6 MNO/VMNO clusters (automatic via use_bastion_registry)
* IPv6 MNO/VMNO clusters with Squid proxy (automatic via setup_bastion_proxy)
- Detailed laptop /etc/hosts configuration instructions
- Troubleshooting guide and HAProxy stats dashboard access
- Dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 support explanation
- Explicitly documents SNO limitation (no VIP support)
7. Updated Project Documentation (CLAUDE.md)
- Added bastion-haproxy.md to troubleshooting resources
- Updated bastion roles description to mention HAProxy
- Added HAProxy use case to special considerations
Use Cases:
- Connected IPv4 MNO/VMNO: Access cluster GUI/API from laptop without VPN
- Disconnected IPv6 MNO/VMNO: Automatic proxy setup with bastion registry
- IPv6 + Proxy MNO/VMNO: Automatic proxy setup with Squid forward proxy
Cluster Type Support:
- MNO/VMNO: Fully supported (uses API VIP .3 and Ingress VIP .4)
- SNO: Not supported (no VIPs, each SNO accessed directly via node IP)
Ports Proxied:
- 6443: Kubernetes API (oc/kubectl)
- 22623: Machine Config Server
- 443: HTTPS ingress routes (console, Grafana, etc.)
- 80: HTTP ingress routes
- 50000: HAProxy statistics dashboard
Backward Compatibility:
- All existing IPv6 disconnected deployments continue to work
- Automatic triggering via use_bastion_registry/setup_bastion_proxy preserved
- IPv6 addresses still use bracket notation as required
- No breaking changes to existing configurations

| Jetlag can configure HAProxy on the bastion machine to proxy cluster access from your laptop to **MNO clusters** on private or internal networks. The HAProxy instance proxies traffic over ports 6443 (API), 443 (HTTPS routes), and 80 (HTTP routes), allowing you to access the cluster API, web console, and other cluster routes from your laptop. | ||

| > [!NOTE] | ||
| > HAProxy is only for MNO clusters that use VIPs. HAProxy is not implemented for SNO deployments. |

Document VMNO as a supported HAProxy cluster type.
ansible/setup-bastion.yml activates bastion-haproxy for non-SNO clusters, including VMNO. The current MNO-only statements are inaccurate.
Update both statements to refer to MNO and VMNO clusters.
