Easy HAProxy

This Docker image will create dynamically the haproxy.cfg based on the arguments defined in the command line.

Features

• Enable or disable Stats on port 1936 with custom password
• Add a mapping from a host to another

Usages

The most common use is to use on Docker Swarm environment when you don't want to expose the container ports and use a Load Balance to deliver to this component in the same overlay network

Basic Usage

You have to define 3 variables (LB_STATS_USER, LB_STATS_PASS, LB_HOSTS).

Example:

• HAProxy with statistics and password "mypassowrd" for the user "admin"
• Domain my.domain.com routing to container/host container1 on port 8080
• Domain other.domain.com routing to container/host other on port 7000

docker run \ 
    -e LB_STATS_USER=admin \
    -e LB_STATS_PASS=mypassword \
    -e LB_HOSTS="my.domain.com container1:8080 other.domain.com other:7000" \
    --name easy-haproxy-instance \
    -t -d byjg/easy-haproxy

Build

docker build -t byjg/easy-haproxy .
