- What I did
Point the on-prem/baremetal apiserver load-balancer HAProxy static pod at the
haproxy-router-haproxy32 (HAProxy 3.2) payload component instead of
haproxy-router.

- How to verify it

- Description for the changelog
Switch on-prem HAProxy pods to haproxy-router-haproxy32 image

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Updates

    • HAProxy image references now consistently use the haproxy-router-haproxy32 tag across bootstrap, installation, and image mapping configuration.
    • Related configuration references were updated to resolve the intended HAProxy image.
  • Bug Fixes

    • On-premises HAProxy startup now creates the required runtime directory, ensuring the stats socket and PID file work with the updated image.
    • The HAProxy container now runs with the required permissions for reliable startup.

HAProxy is being removed from the haproxy-router image in 5.1; use the
dedicated haproxy-router-haproxy32 (HAProxy 3.2) payload component instead.

Walkthrough

The HAProxy image tag changes to haproxy-router-haproxy32 across image references and bootstrap configuration. The on-prem HAProxy container runs as root and creates /var/lib/haproxy/run before startup.

Changes

HAProxy 3.2 image migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update HAProxy image references
install/image-references, cmd/machine-config-operator/bootstrap.go, install/0000_80_machine-config_02_images.configmap.yaml, pkg/controller/template/constants.go
The ImageStream tag, bootstrap lookup, image ConfigMap, and HaproxyKey comment use haproxy-router-haproxy32. The constant value remains unchanged.
Prepare the HAProxy runtime
templates/master/00-master/on-prem/files/haproxy.yaml
The container runs as root. The startup script creates /var/lib/haproxy/run before HAProxy starts.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7bdca

The HAProxy 3.2 migration currently makes the externally reachable load-balancer container run as root. A correctly owned writable runtime mount and non-root security context should be provided before merge.

/test e2e-metal-ipi-ovn-dualstack

The haproxy-router-haproxy32 image differs from the old haproxy-router
image in two ways that break the on-prem haproxy static pod: it does not
ship the /var/lib/haproxy/run directory, and it runs as a non-root user
by default. Both cause haproxy to crashloop when binding the stats socket
at /var/lib/haproxy/run/haproxy.sock.

Create the directory before starting haproxy and set runAsUser: 0
(allowed under the pod's privileged SCC) to restore the prior behavior.

Security Misconfiguration (CWE-250)

Reachability: External · Exploitability: Difficult

Run HAProxy as non-root and provide a writable runtime mount.

runAsUser: 0 runs HAProxy and its startup script as root. The script creates /var/lib/haproxy/run, but run-dir is mounted at /var/run/haproxy, so the runtime path remains on the root filesystem. Mount a correctly owned writable volume at /var/lib/haproxy/run, then set runAsNonRoot: true, readOnlyRootFilesystem: true, and allowPrivilegeEscalation: false. Confirm the HAProxy 3.2 image supports the selected non-root UID.

Rather than create it here, we can just mount an empty-dir volume into the container. There's already an example of that in this manifest:

and

I think that should eliminate the need for running the container as root too.
