Hi,
I'm trying to use the OpenTelemetry filter introduced in HAProxy 3.4 from the official Docker image, but the filter is not available in the published image.
Context:
A related discussion is ongoing in the Docker Official Images repository:
docker-library/haproxy#263
In that discussion, the Docker maintainers noted that:
OpenTelemetry support appears to require building HAProxy with the haproxy-opentelemetry addon via EXTRA_MAKE.
They are unsure whether this addon is intended to be included in downstream distributions such as the official Docker image.
They also raised questions about licensing and redistribution of the addon.
From a user perspective, I'd like to understand the expected path forward.
Questions:
Is the OpenTelemetry addon intended to be redistributed by downstream projects such as the official HAProxy Docker image?
Is OpenTelemetry support expected to become available in the official/community HAProxy Docker images?
If yes, is there a planned release or timeline for making this available?
If no, is the recommended approach for users to build and maintain custom HAProxy images with the addon enabled?
Are there any current licensing or packaging considerations preventing downstream distributors from shipping the addon?
Thank you for the clarification.
