Customize the HAProxy configuration

This example uses a ConfigMap to customize the HAProxy configuration.

Prerequisites

This document has the following prerequisites:

Deploy only the tls-secret and the default backend from the deployment instructions

Customize the HAProxy configuration

Using a ConfigMap is possible to customize the HAProxy configuration.

For example, if we want to change the syslog-endpoint we need to create a ConfigMap:

$ kubectl create configmap haproxy-conf --from-literal=syslog-endpoint=172.17.8.101

Create the HAProxy Ingress deployment:

$ kubectl create -f haproxy-custom-configuration.yaml

The only difference from the deployment instructions is the --configmap parameter:

- --configmap=default/haproxy-conf

If the Configmap it is updated, HAProxy will be reloaded with the new configuration.

Check all the config options in the HAProxy Ingress docs
