Thanks for the PR - I'm curious, what would be the benefit here comparing to the official HAProxy Docker image: https://hub.docker.com/_/haproxy ?

There aren't really benefits, it's just an alternative method for deployment. If migrating from a traditional HAProxy-on-VMs deployment this method might be easier for people to use.
