Example

Mounting a HAProxy configuration file is mandatory. This image doesn't include any configuration itself. See the -v section below.

docker run -d \
           -p 8080:9000 \
           -v $(pwd)/haproxy.cfg.EXAMPLE:/usr/local/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg:ro \
           --name haproxy \
           mminks/haproxy-docker-logging

Reload HAProxy

Reload your HAProxy in case of config changes without restarting the complete container. Send a SIGHUP signal to the container an the HAProxy process will reload gracefully.

docker kill -s SIGHUP haproxy
