This testing instruction will hopefully help people in their workflow. The goal is to test the config before building a new image. I also removed the semi column and added a h2 to 'Build and run' Signed-off-by: Florentin Raud <flo@ngineered.co.uk>

# What is HAProxy?
|
|
|
|
HAProxy is a free, open source high availability solution, providing load balancing and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications by spreading requests across multiple servers. It is written in C and has a reputation for being fast and efficient (in terms of processor and memory usage).

# How to use this image
|
|
|
|
Since no two users of HAProxy are likely to configure it exactly alike, this image does not come with any default configuration.
|
|
|
|
Please refer to [upstream's excellent (and comprehensive) documentation](https://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/) on the subject of configuring HAProxy for your needs.
|
|
|
|
It is also worth checking out the [`examples/` directory from upstream](http://www.haproxy.org/git?p=haproxy-1.5.git;a=tree;f=examples).
|
|
|
|
Note: Many configuration examples propose to put `daemon` into the `global` section to run haproxy as daemon. Do **not** configure this or the Docker container will exit immediately after launching because the haproxy process would go into the background.
|
|
|
|
## Create a `Dockerfile`
|
|
|
|
```dockerfile
|
|
FROM haproxy:1.5
|
|
COPY haproxy.cfg /usr/local/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Build the container
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ docker build -t my-haproxy .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Test the configuration file
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ docker run -it --rm --name haproxy-syntax-check haproxy:1.5 haproxy -c -f /usr/local/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Run the container
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ docker run -d --name my-running-haproxy my-haproxy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Directly via bind mount
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ docker run -d --name my-running-haproxy -v /path/to/haproxy.cfg:/usr/local/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg:ro haproxy:1.5
|
|
```
