In order to add DeviceAtlas Device Detection support, you would need to download
the API source code from https://deviceatlas.com/deviceatlas-haproxy-module.
The build supports the USE_PCRE and USE_PCRE2 options. Once extracted :

Optionally DEVICEATLAS_INC and DEVICEATLAS_LIB may be set to override the path

can be omitted. Note that the DeviceAtlas C API version supported is the 2.4.0

could not be used, DEVICEATLAS_NOCACHE is available.

Optionally a JSON download scheduler is provided to allow a data file being

Note that the JSON download scheduler is now part of the API's package, it is recommended
to read its documentation. Note it needs to be started before HAProxy.
