boonen/haproxy-consul_template repository overview

⁠haproxy-consul_template

HAProxy with Consul Template (based on the offical Docker image).

Currently we only support the version based on Alpine. The services are run simultaneously using Supervisor⁠. Supervisor currently runs as root user.

⁠Usage

In order to run HAProxy with Consul Template a working Consul agent must be available. Inside the container we use the hostname consul and port 8500 to connect to the agent. You have to use the option --add-host to map the name consul to the IP address where Consul is running. Note: currently we don't support Consul agents running on other ports than 8500.

The Consul Template can be mounted using a volume on the local disk. Consul Template expects the template to be located at /usr/local/etc/haproxy.cfg.ctmpl.

Use the following command to start the container:

docker run -d -P --add-host=consul:10.0.0.11 -v /localdir/haproxy.cfg.ctmpl:/usr/local/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg.ctmpl:ro boonen/haproxy-consul_template
