Get this image

The recommended way to get the Bitnami haproxy Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the Docker Hub Registry.

$ docker pull bitnami/haproxy:latest

To use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag. You can view the list of available versions in the Docker Hub Registry.

$ docker pull bitnami/haproxy:[TAG]

If you wish, you can also build the image yourself.

$ docker build -t bitnami/haproxy:latest 'https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-haproxy.git#master:2/debian-10'

Why use a non-root container?

Non-root container images add an extra layer of security and are generally recommended for production environments. However, because they run as a non-root user, privileged tasks are typically off-limits. Learn more about non-root containers in our docs.

Configuration

Running commands

To run commands inside this container you can use docker run, for example to execute haproxy --version you can follow the example below:

$ docker run --rm --name haproxy bitnami/haproxy:latest -- --version

In order for the container to work, you need to mount your custom haproxy.cfg file in /bitnami/haproxy/conf/. The following example runs HAProxy with a custom configuration file:

$ docker run --rm --name haproxy -v /path/to/haproxy.cfg:/bitnami/haproxy/conf/haproxy.cfg bitnami/haproxy:latest

Using docker-compose:

version: '2'
services:

  haproxy:
    image: haproxy
    volumes:
      - /path/to/haproxy.cfg:/bitnami/haproxy/conf/haproxy.cfg

Check the official HAProxy documentation to understand the possible configurations.
