Issue with default command?

[calh]

Check your haproxy.cfg for daemon listed in the global mode. I was stumped on this as well until that jumped out at me in my config file. (I had just copied a config from another test haproxy instance I use on my workstation)

When I removed daemon, the docker image ran correctly in the foreground with the default image command.

I'm +1 on fixing this, but I'm not sure -db is recommended for generic use:

-db
Disables background mode (stays in foreground, useful for debugging). For debugging, the '-db' option is very useful as it temporarily disables daemon mode and multi-process mode. The service can then be stopped by simply pressing Ctrl-C, without having to edit the config nor run full debug.

Isn't running haproxy single-threaded a bit of a problem?

That's it. Well spotted. Thanks @calh
