+# HAProxy
+
+This directory contains the [HAProxy](https://www.haproxy.org/) runtime on Unikraft, in binary compatibility mode.
+It implements a simple HTTP server running on Unikraft that provides a simple response to each request.
+
+## Run and Use
+
+Use `kraft` to run the image and start a Unikraft instance:
+
+```bash
+kraft run --rm -p 8404:8404 --plat qemu --arch x86_64 -M 256M unikraft.org/haproxy:2.8
+```
+
+If the `--plat` argument is left out, it defaults to `qemu`.
+If the `--arch` argument is left out, it defaults to your system's CPU architecture.
+
+Once executed, it will open port `8404` and wait for connections.
+To test it, you can use `curl`:
+
+```bash
+curl localhost:8404/stats
+```
+
+You should see status information related to the HAProxy instance.
+
+## Inspect and Close
+
+To list information about the Unikraft instance, use:
+
+```bash
+kraft ps
+```
+
+```text
+NAME                    KERNEL                         ARGS                                           CREATED       STATUS   MEM   PORTS                   PLAT
+agitated_pocketswarhol  project://haproxy:qemu/x86_64  /usr/bin/haproxy -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.conf  1 minute ago  running  244M  0.0.0.0:8404->8404/tcp  qemu/x86_64
+```
+
+The instance name is `agitated_pocketswarhol`.
+To close the Unikraft instance, close the `kraft` process (e.g., via `Ctrl+c`) or run:
+
+```bash
+kraft rm agitated_pocketswarhol
+```
+
+## Build and Run Locally
+
+The commands so far used the pre-build Ruby image available in the Unikraft registry.
+
+In oder to to build a local image, clone this repository and `cd` into this directory.
+Then use `kraft` to build an image locally:
+
+```bash
+kraft build --no-cache --no-update --plat qemu --arch x86_64
+```
+
+Similar to the `kraft run` command, if the `--plat` argument is left out, it defaults to `qemu`.
+If the `--arch` argument is left out, it defaults to your system's CPU architecture.
+
+In order to run the locally built image, use `.` (_dot_, the current directory)  as the final argument to the `kraft run` command:
+
+```bash
+kraft run --rm -p 8404:8404 --plat qemu --arch x86_64 -M 256M .
+```
+
+Same as above, it will open port `8404` and wait for connections.
+
+## `kraft` and `sudo`
+
+Mixing invocations of `kraft` and `sudo` can lead to unexpected behavior.
+Read more about how to start `kraft` without `sudo` at [https://unikraft.org/sudoless](https://unikraft.org/sudoless).
