setting up ssl on haproxy

Question

I already have haproxy installed on an ubuntu by someone else. However looks like it's not configured with ssl.

haproxy --v

HA-Proxy version 1.5.15 2015/11/01
Copyright 2000-2015 Willy Tarreau <willy@haproxy.org>

Build options :
  TARGET  = 
  CPU     = generic
  CC      = gcc
  CFLAGS  = -O2 -g -fno-strict-aliasing
  OPTIONS = USE_POLL=default

Default settings :
  maxconn = 2000, bufsize = 16384, maxrewrite = 8192, maxpollevents = 200

Encrypted password support via crypt(3): no
Built without zlib support (USE_ZLIB not set)
Compression algorithms supported : identity
Built without OpenSSL support (USE_OPENSSL not set)
Built without PCRE support (using libc's regex instead)
Built with transparent proxy support using: IP_TRANSPARENT IP_FREEBIND

Available polling systems :
       poll : pref=200,  test result OK
     select : pref=150,  test result OK
Total: 2 (2 usable), will use poll.

I also checked for the status of libssl-dev and it's installed properly.

dpkg -l libssl-dev

Does anyone know how i can set the ssl? Would i have to re-install this again? If yes can someone please provide me with some links to instruction to install haproxy with open_ssl set?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Rebuild and reinstall haproxy from source with USE_OPENSSL=yes

git clone http://git.haproxy.org/?p=haproxy-1.6.git
cd haproxy-1.6
make TARGET=linux2628 USE_PCRE=1 USE_OPENSSL=1 USE_ZLIB=1
make install

Answer 2

Other option is to enable haproxy 1.6 ppa:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vbernat/haproxy-1.6

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install haproxy
