Deploying a Docker container with Apache on Debian Linux is an efficient way to manage web servers in isolated environments. Docker provides a convenient way to package and run applications, and when combined with Apache, it can be used for hosting websites or web applications. In this guide, we’ll walk through the necessary steps to set up and run an Apache web server inside a Docker container on a Debian Linux machine.

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure that you have the following prerequisites in place:

  • A Debian-based Linux system (e.g., Debian 10, Debian 11).
  • Docker installed on your system. If you don’t have Docker installed, follow the installation steps below.
  • Basic knowledge of Linux commands and Docker concepts.

Step 1: Install Docker on Debian

First, you need to install Docker if it is not already installed on your Debian machine. Here’s how to install Docker on Debian:

  1. Update the package database:
     

    # apt update

  2. Install the required dependencies:

    # apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg lsb-release

  3. Add Docker’s official GPG key:

    # curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg

  4. Set up the stable Docker repository:
      

    # echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] \
https://download.docker.com/linux/debian $(lsb_release -cs) stable" \
| tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

     

  5. Install Docker Engine:
     

    # apt update sudo apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

     

  6. Start Docker and enable it to run on boot:
     

    # systemctl start docker
    # systemctl enable docker

  7. Verify Docker installation:
     

    # docker --version

    This should display the installed Docker version, confirming that Docker is installed successfully.
     

Step 2: Pull Apache Docker Image or whatever docker image you want to have installed

Now that Docker is set up, you need to pull the official Apache image from Docker Hub. The Apache image is maintained by the Docker team and comes pre-configured for running Apache in a container.
 

  1. Pull the Apache HTTP Server image:

    # docker pull httpd

    This will download the official Apache HTTP server image ( httpd ) from Docker Hub.

Step 3: Run Apache Container

Once the Apache image is pulled, you can start a Docker container running Apache.

  1. Run the Docker container:

    # docker run -d --name apache-container -p 80:80 httpd

    Here’s what the options mean:

    • -d : Runs the container in detached mode (in the background).
    • --name apache-container : Names the container apache-container .
    • -p 80:80 : Maps port 80 on the host to port 80 in the container (so you can access the Apache web server through port 80).
    • httpd : The name of the image you want to run (the Apache HTTP server).

  2. Verify the container is running:

    # docker ps

    This will show a list of running containers. You should see the apache-container running.

  3. Test the Apache server:

    Open a web browser and go to http://<your-server-ip> . You should see the default Apache welcome page, indicating that Apache is running successfully in the Docker container.

Step 4: Customize Apache Configuration (Optional)

You may want to customize the Apache configuration or serve your own website inside the container. Here’s how to do it:

 

. Run the Apache Docker Container with a Specific IP Address

To bind the container to a specific IP address, use the --add-host or --publish flag while running the container.

  • If you want to bind Apache to a specific IP address on the host (for example, 192.168.1.100 ), use the --publish option:

# docker run -d --name apache-container -p 192.168.1.100:80:80 apache-container


This command tells Docker to bind port 80 in the container to port 80 on the host's IP address 192.168.1.100 . Replace 192.168.1.100 with the desired IP address of your system.

  1. Create a directory for your custom website:

    # mkdir -p /home/user/my-website

  2. Add an index.html file or whatever PHP / Perl whatever files will be served:

    Create a simple HTML file in the directory:
     

    # echo '<html><body><h1>Hello, Apache on Docker!</h1></body></html>' > /home/user/my-website/index.html

  3. Stop the running Apache container:

    # docker stop apache-container

  4. Remove the stopped container:

    # docker rm apache-container

  5. Run a new container with your custom website:

    Now, you can mount your custom directory into the container as a volume:

    # docker run -d --name apache-container -p 80:80 -v /home/user/my-website:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/ httpd

    The -v option mounts the local directory /home/user/my-website to the Apache server’s default document root directory ( /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/ ).

  6. Verify the custom website:

    Reload the web page in your browser. Now, you should see the "Hello, Apache on Docker!" message, confirming that your custom website is being served from the Docker container.

Step 5: Manage Docker Containers

You can manage the running Apache container with the following commands:

  • Stop the container:

    # docker stop apache-container

  • Start the container:

    # docker start apache-container

  • Remove the container (if needed):

    # docker rm apache-container

  • View logs for troubleshooting:

    # docker logs apache-container

Step 6: Automating Docker Container Deployment (Optional step)

If you want the Apache container to restart automatically after a system reboot, you can add the --restart flag to the docker run command.

For example, to make the container restart automatically unless it is manually stopped, use:
  

# docker run -d --name apache-container -p 80:80 --restart unless-stopped \
-v /home/user/my-website:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/ httpd

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can easily deploy Apache inside a Docker container on a Debian Linux machine. Docker allows you to run your Apache web server or whatever docker app you need to have in a lightweight and isolated environment, which is useful development, testing, and production environments. You can further customize this setup by adding additional configurations, integrating with databases, or automating deployments with Docker Compose or Kubernetes.

Enjoy your new Dockerized Apache setup!

Webserver farm behind Load Balancer Proxy or how to preserve incoming internet IP to local net IP Apache webservers by adding additional haproxy header with remoteip

Monday, April 18th, 2022

logo-haproxy-apache-remoteip-configure-and-check-to-have-logged-real-ip-address-inside-apache-forwarded-from-load-balancer

Having a Proxy server for Load Balancing is a common solutions to assure High Availability of Web Application service behind a proxy.
You can have for example 1 Apache HTTPD webservers serving traffic Actively on one Location (i.e. one city or Country) and 3 configured in the F5 LB or haproxy to silently keep up and wait for incoming connections as an (Active Failure) Backup solution. 

Lets say the Webservers usually are set to have local class C IPs as 192.168.0.XXX or 10.10.10.XXX and living in isolated DMZed well firewalled LAN network and Haproxy is configured to receive traffic via a Internet IP 109.104.212.13 address and send the traffic in mode tcp via a NATTed connection (e.g. due to the network address translation the source IP of the incoming connections from Intenet clients appears as the NATTed IP 192.168.1.50.

The result is that all incoming connections from haproxy -> webservers will be logged in Webservers /var/log/apache2/access.log wrongly as incoming from source IP: 192.168.1.50, meaning all the information on the source Internet Real IP gets lost.

load-balancer-high-availailibility-haproxy-apache
 

How to pass Real (Internet) Source IPs from Haproxy "mode tcp" to Local LAN Webservers  ?
 

Usually the normal way to work around this with Apache Reverse Proxies configured is to use HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR variable in haproxy when using HTTP traffic application that is proxied (.e.g haproxy.cfg has mode http configured), you have to add to listen listener_name directive or frontend Frontend_of_proxy

option forwardfor
option http-server-close

However unfortunately, IP Header preservation with X_FORWADED_FOR  HTTP-Header is not possible when haproxy is configured to forward traffic using mode tcp.

Thus when you're forced to use mode tcp to completely pass any traffic incoming to Haproxy from itself to End side, the solution is to
 

  • Use mod_remoteip infamous module that is part of standard Apache installs both on apache2 installed from (.deb) package  or httpd rpm (on redhats / centos).

 

1. Configure Haproxies to send received connects as send-proxy traffic

 

The idea is very simple all the received requests from outside clients to Haproxy are to be send via the haproxy to the webserver in a PROXY protocol string, this is done via send-proxy

             send-proxy  – send a PROXY protocol string

Rawly my current /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg looks like this:
 

global
        log /dev/log    local0
        log /dev/log    local1 notice
        chroot /var/lib/haproxy
        user haproxy
        group haproxy
        daemon
        maxconn 99999
        nbproc          1
        nbthread 2

    maxconn 10
    stats enable
    stats show-legends
    stats refresh 5s
    stats realm Haproxy\ Statistics
    stats admin if TRUE

 

After preparing your haproxy.cfg and reloading haproxy in /var/log/haproxy.log you should have the Real Source IPs logged in:

2. Enable remoteip proxy protocol on Webservers

Login to each Apache HTTPD and to enable remoteip module run:
 

# a2enmod remoteip


On Debians, the command should produce a right symlink to mods-enabled/ directory
 

# ls -al /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*remote*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Mar 30  2021 /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/remoteip.load -> ../mods-available/remoteip.load

 

3. Modify remoteip.conf file and allow IPs of haproxies or F5s

 

Configure RemoteIPTrustedProxy for every Source IP of haproxy to allow it to send X-Forwarded-For header to Apache,

Here are few examples, from my apache working config on Debian 11.2 (Bullseye):
 

webserver:~# cat remoteip.conf
RemoteIPHeader X-Forwarded-For
RemoteIPTrustedProxy 192.168.0.1
RemoteIPTrustedProxy 192.168.0.205
RemoteIPTrustedProxy 192.168.1.15
RemoteIPTrustedProxy 192.168.0.198
RemoteIPTrustedProxy 192.168.2.33
RemoteIPTrustedProxy 192.168.2.30
RemoteIPTrustedProxy 192.168.0.215
#RemoteIPTrustedProxy 51.89.232.41

On RedHat / Fedora other RPM based Linux distrubutions, you can do the same by including inside httpd.conf or virtualhost configuration something like:
 

<IfModule remoteip_module>
      RemoteIPHeader X-Forwarded-For
      RemoteIPInternalProxy 192.168.0.0/16
      RemoteIPTrustedProxy 192.168.0.215/32
</IfModule>


4. Enable RemoteIP Proxy Protocol in apache2.conf / httpd.conf or Virtualhost custom config
 

Modify both haproxy / haproxies config as well as enable the RemoteIP module on Apache webservers (VirtualHosts if such used) and either in <VirtualHost> block or in main http config include:

RemoteIPProxyProtocol On


5. Change default configured Apache LogFormat

In Domain Vhost or apache2.conf / httpd.conf

Default logging Format will be something like:
 

LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %O \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined


or
 

LogFormat "%v:%p %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %O \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined

 

Once you find it in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf / httpd.conf or Vhost, you have to comment out this by adding shebang infont of sentence make it look as follows:
 

LogFormat "%v:%p %a %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %O \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" vhost_combined
LogFormat "%a %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %O \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
LogFormat "%a %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %O" common
LogFormat "%{Referer}i -> %U" referer
LogFormat "%{User-agent}i" agent


The Changed LogFormat instructs Apache to log the client IP as recorded by mod_remoteip (%a) rather than hostname (%h). For a full explanation of all the options check the official HTTP Server documentation page apache_mod_config on Custom Log Formats.

and reload each Apache server.

on Debian:

# apache2ctl -k reload

On CentOS

# systemctl restart httpd


6. Check proxy protocol is properly enabled on Apaches

 

remoteip module will enable Apache to expect a proxy connect header passed to it otherwise it will respond with Bad Request, because it will detect a plain HTML request instead of Proxy Protocol CONNECT, here is the usual telnet test to fetch the index.htm page.

root@webserver:~# telnet localhost 80
Trying 127.0.0.1…
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET / HTTP/1.1

To test it with telnet you can follow the Proxy CONNECT syntax and simulate you're connecting from a proxy server, like that:
 

root@webserver:~# telnet localhost 80
Trying 127.0.0.1…
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
CONNECT localhost:80 HTTP/1.0

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently

Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

</body></html>
Connection closed by foreign host.

You can test with curl simulating the proxy protocol CONNECT with:

root@webserver:~# curl –insecure –haproxy-protocol https://192.168.2.30

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"

</script>

 

      –haproxy-protocol
              (HTTP) Send a HAProxy PROXY protocol v1 header at the beginning of the connection. This is used by some load balancers and reverse proxies
              to indicate the client's true IP address and port.

              This option is primarily useful when sending test requests to a service that expects this header.

              Added in 7.60.0.


7. Check apache log if remote Real Internet Source IPs are properly logged

You see from above output remote Source IPs in green are properly logged, so haproxy Cluster is correctly forwarding connections passing on in the Haproxy generated Initial header the Real IP of its remote connect IPs.


Sum it up, What was done?


HTTP_X_FORWARD_FOR is impossible to set, when haproxy is used on mode tcp and all traffic is sent as received from TCP IPv4 / IPv6 Network stack, e.g. modifying any HTTP sent traffic inside the headers is not possible as this might break up the data.

Thus Haproxy was configured to send all its received data by sending initial proxy header with the X_FORWARDED usual Source IP data, then remoteip Apache module was used to make Apache receive and understand haproxy sent Header which contains the original Source IP via the send-proxy functionality and example was given on how to test the remoteip on Webserver is working correctly.

Finally you've seen how to check configured haproxy and webserver are able to send and receive the End Client data with the originator real source IP correctly and those Internet IP is properly logged inside both haproxy and apaches.
