How to install HAProxy on Ubuntu 20.04

HAProxy can be described as an open-source solution for High availability as well as load balancing. Furthermore, we can use it for proxying TCP & HTTP-based applications.

Since installing HAProxy is an easy process, it is often one of the most recommended solutions for websites with heavy traffic. It boosts the performance and reliability of the server with load balancing and high availability features.

Before we get down to installing HA Proxy, w have to make sure we have Ubuntu installed, a local user with sudo rights as well as internet connectivity.

1. To begin with, we have to update the package list with the following command and then restart the system.

   $ sudo apt update
2. Although the HAProxy package is included in the default package repositories, it may not be the latest version. So now, we are going to add the official HAProxy repository to your system as seen below:

   $ sudo apt install software-properties-common
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vbernat/haproxy-2.6 -y
3. Then, we will update the package list with this command:

   $ sudo apt update
4. Next, we can install the latest version of HAProxy as seen below:

   $ sudo apt install haproxy -y

We can verify if the above steps were successful by running this command:

$ haproxy -v

This command will display the HAPRoxy version currently installed on the system. If you run into trouble with any of the above steps, drop us a line and our experts will help you out.
