Please this is not asked anywhere I have checked. Here is what I have done. I am able to deploy single instance of mesos, marathon and docker. Moving next step ahead I want to have 2 mesos slave(docker containers) linked to each other. Just using docker the same can be achieved by using the docker link feature. But while using the orchestration(mesos) and scheduler(marathon)it seems u need to use service discovery.
My setup up is simple and runnning on a single host. So I will have 2 docker containers one running a simple pub/sub and one running rabbitmq. How can I use HA PRoxy in this setup. I have seen some documents provided by mesosphere http://mesosphere.com/docs/getting-started/service-discovery/ but it is not clear how to go about it.
The canonical approach for service discovery with Mesos + Marathon + Docker is currently what is described in the document you linked.
I'm assuming you're able to get the two applications running in Marathon already.
Typically what happens is:
1) Configure your application definition to include the ports that your application requires.
2) You set up the provided haproxy-marathon-bridge script to run periodically using a utility like cron. This script scrapes Marathon's API to figure out what host and port the application instances are running on and what the known "friendly" port is.
In the example in the service discovery article, the first application has friendly ports of 80 and 443, whilst the second has a friendly port of 8081.
The script then generates a haproxy.cfg configuration that has rules mapping localhost:friendly_port to actual_host:actual_port.
3) Configure your applications to look for each other on localhost:friendly_port. HAProxy will route connections appropriately.
Hope this helps your understanding!
