Can't edit my comment (#2) so I just wanted to correct the sentence "That's (most likely) the reason why the official HAProxy docker image builds on Alpine Linux which uses Open RC as init system.". The official HAProxy Docker image runs on Debian but also supports Alpine Linux. The big difference there: They don't install HAProxy from a deb package but rather build HAProxy from source (during image build).

This directory is mentioned in the default config file /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg: stats socket /run/haproxy/admin.sock mode 660 level admin expose-fd listeners Starting HAProxy manually will show the following error: # /usr/sbin/haproxy -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg [ALERT] 337/154339 (24) : Starting frontend GLOBAL: cannot bind UNIX socket [/run/haproxy/admin.sock] After manual creation of the directory, the start works: # mkdir /run/haproxy # /usr/sbin/haproxy -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg # ps auxf USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 10 0.1 0.0 18616 3416 pts/0 Ss 15:42 0:00 /bin/bash root 32 0.0 0.0 34400 2900 pts/0 R+ 15:45 0:00 \_ ps auxf root 1 0.0 0.0 18376 3016 ?

Ss 15:45 0:00 /usr/sbin/haproxy -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg This can be reproduced with a simple Docker container the following Dockerfile: ---------------------------------------------- FROM ubuntu:18.04 MAINTAINER Claudio Kuenzler <c...@claudiokuenzler.com> # install packages RUN apt-get update \ && apt-get install -y -qq haproxy CMD ["/usr/sbin/haproxy","-f","/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg"] ---------------------------------------------- Checking the haproxy package for the run directory shows nothing: # dpkg -L haproxy | grep run ; date Wed Dec 4 15:58:52 UTC 2019 ******************************************* Update: After analysis of the haproxy package (see https://www.claudiokuenzler.com/blog/917/haproxy-ubuntu-18.04-docker- image-not-starting-cannot-bind-unix-socket), it turns out that the /run/haproxy directory is defined in debian/haproxy.tmpfile. However tmpfile's are only considered in systems with SystemD. As Docker containers run without Systemd, this directory is never created. Suggestion: Do not rely on Systemd to create /run/haproxy. Maybe use debian/haproxy.dirs? However the permissions are not set in this case.
