Easy HAProxy

This Docker image will create dynamically the haproxy.cfg based on very simple Yaml.

Features

Enable or disable Stats on port 1936 with custom password
Simple mapping host => host:port
Simple redirect host => host:port

Basic Usage

Create a yaml file in your machine called easyconfig.cfg and put the contents:

stats:
  username: admin
  password: password
  port: 1936         # Optional (default 1936)

customerrors: true   # Optional (default false)

easymapping:
  - port: 80
    hosts:                                     
      host1.com.br: container:5000
      host2.com.br: other:3000
    redirect:
      www.host1.com.br: http://host1.com.br
      
  - port: 443
    ssl_cert: /etc/easyconfig/mycert.pem
    hosts:
      host1.com.br: container:80

  - port: 8080
    hosts:
      host3.com.br: domain:8181

Then run (remember to enable the proper ports):

docker run \ 
    -v /path/to/local:/etc/easyconfig \
    -p 80:80 \
    -p 8080:8080 \
    -p 1936:1936 \
    --name easy-haproxy-instance \
    -d byjg/easy-haproxy

Mapping custom .cfg files

Just create a folder and put files with the extension .cfg. and map the volume to the container. This will concatenate your config into the main haproxy.cfg

docker run \ 
    /* other parameters */
    -v /your/local/conf.d:/etc/haproxy/conf.d \
    -d byjg/easy-haproxy

Check if your config is ok:

docker run \ 
    /* other parameters */
    -v /your/local/conf.d:/etc/haproxy/conf.d \
    -byjg/easy-haproxy -c -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg

Docker Compose

version: "3.4"
services:
  front:
    image: byjg/easy-haproxy
    volume:
      - /path/to/local:/etc/easyconfig
    ports:
      - 80:80
      - 8080:8080
      - 1936:1936

Handling SSL

HaProxy can handle SSL for you. in this case add the parameter pointing to file containing the pem of certificates and key in only one file:

  - port: 443
    ssl_cert: /etc/easyconfig/mycert.pem
    hosts:
      host1.com.br: container:80

Important: Different certificates need to be handled in different entries.

Setting Custom Errors

Map the volume : /etc/haproxy/errors-custom/ and put a file named ERROR_NUMBER.http where ERROR_NUMBER is the http error code (e.g. 503.http)

Build

docker build -t byjg/easy-haproxy .
