   nix
   sudo docker login https://hapee-registry.haproxy.com

2. Pull the HAProxy Enterprise image.

3. Create an HAProxy Enterprise configuration file (i.e. hapee-lb.cfg) that defines your load balancer settings.

   nix
   sudo docker stop <OLD CONTAINER NAME>
   sudo docker rm <OLD CONTAINER NAME>

   nix

   sudo docker rm <OLD CONTAINER NAME>

5. Start the new Docker container, referencing the directory containing your configuration file as a volume by using the -v flag.

   nix
   sudo docker run \
     --name hapee-2.8 \
     -d \
     -p 80:80 \
     -p 443:443 \
