HAProxy Repository Setup for Debian
Follow these instructions to configure your Debian system to use the official HAProxy package repository.
1. Download and Store the Repository GPG Key
This key is used to verify the authenticity of the packages. The key is stored in a separate file to improve security.
# Create a directory for the key if it doesn't exist
sudo install -d -m 0755 /usr/share/keyrings
# Download the GPG key
sudo wget -qO /usr/share/keyrings/HAPROXY-key-community.asc https://www.haproxy.com/download/haproxy/HAPROXY-key-community.asc2. Add the Repository to Sources
This tells your system where to find the packages and which key to use for verification.
# Add the HAProxy repository for [[OS]] and HAProxy [[VERSION]]
echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/HAPROXY-key-community.asc] https://www.haproxy.com/download/haproxy/performance/debian/ha[[VERSIONNUMERALS]] [[OSLOWERCASE]] main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/haproxy.list3. Update and Install HAProxy
Finally, update your package list and install the desired HAProxy package.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install haproxy-awslcHAProxy Repository Setup for Ubuntu

We are currently working hard to get the HAProxy repository for RHEL-based systems up and running.
Please check back soon for updates.
Unlocking next-gen performance
For years, OpenSSL was the standard for SSL/TLS. However, recent changes in OpenSSL 3.x have introduced performance regressions in multi-threaded environments, which create bottlenecks for high-throughput load balancers.
To solve this, we have engineered these packages to utilize AWS-LC, a high-performance cryptographic library derived from BoringSSL.
Optimized for efficiency: reclaim CPU cycles lost to locking contention.
Ready for production: we handle the complex compilation and dependency management so you can install via apt or yum as usual.
