To upgrade HAProxy Data Plane API:

1. Install the Data Plane API package. This will upgrade the existing installation. Note that the following examples install version 2.8. You can specify a different package name if you want to install a different version (hapee-extras-dataplaneapi27 for version 2.7, for example).

   apt yum zypper pkg

   nix
   sudo apt-get install hapee-extras-dataplaneapi28

   nix
   sudo apt-get install hapee-extras-dataplaneapi28

   nix

   nix
   sudo zypper install hapee-extras-dataplaneapi28

   nix
   sudo pkg install hapee-extras-dataplaneapi28

   Install in an air-gapped environment

   Note: If your installation of HAProxy Enterprise and HAProxy Data Plane API is in an air-gapped environment, follow these instructions for upgrade:

   • Download the latest version of the Data Plane API package from the HAProxy Enterprise respository. Replace <YOUR HAPROXY ENTERPRISE KEY> in the URL below to access the repository.

     nix
      https://www.haproxy.com/download/hapee/key/<YOUR HAPROXY ENTERPRISE KEY>/extras/

     nix
      https://www.haproxy.com/download/hapee/key/<YOUR HAPROXY ENTERPRISE KEY>/extras/

     Navigate to the directory for your operating system. The Data Plane API package (.deb for Debian/Ubuntu or .rpm for RHEL) will be located at /<arch>/pool inside that directory.

   • Install the Data Plane API package. This will upgrade the existing installation.

     apt yum

     nix
     sudo dpkg -i --force-depends <PACKAGE NAME>.deb

     nix
     sudo dpkg -i --force-depends <PACKAGE NAME>.deb

     nix
     sudo rpm -Uvh --nodeps <PACKAGE NAME>.rpm

     nix
     sudo rpm -Uvh --nodeps <PACKAGE NAME>.rpm

2. Reload the systemd file and restart the service:

   nix
   sudo systemctl daemon-reload
   sudo systemctl restart hapee-extras-dataplaneapi

   nix
   sudo systemctl daemon-reload
   sudo systemctl restart hapee-extras-dataplaneapi

3. As of version 2.8, your Data Plane API configuration file should be in the .yml format. You can convert your Data Plane API configuration file in .hcl format to .yml format by installing and running the hapee-extras-hclconverter utility.

   • Download the latest version of the hapee-extras-hclconverter utility package from the HAProxy Enterprise respository. Replace <YOUR HAPROXY ENTERPRISE KEY> in the URL below to access the repository.

     nix
     https://www.haproxy.com/download/hapee/key/<YOUR HAPROXY ENTERPRISE KEY>/extras/

     nix

     sudo dpkg -i --force-depends <PACKAGE NAME>.deb

     nix
     sudo dpkg -i --force-depends <PACKAGE NAME>.deb

     nix
     sudo rpm -ivh --nodeps <PACKAGE NAME>.rpm

     nix
     sudo rpm -ivh --nodeps <PACKAGE NAME>.rpm

2. Run the hapee-extras-hclconverter. It takes the following arguments in this order:

   • the path of your existing Data Plane API configuration file in .hcl format
   • the path for the new configuration file in .yml format

   Most likely, the new configuration file will reside in the same directory as the old configuration file.
