title: How To Upgrade HAProxy On Debian VM?
body: <p>Does someone have clear instructions for upgrading HAProxy to the latest stable release?</p>
  <p>We're presently using 1.8.19 on a Debian VM and need to upgrade it to 2.1.3.</p>
  <p>I came across the following instructions: <a href="https://blog.geralexgr.com/linux/upgrade-haproxy-to-2-1-3-red-hat-enterprise-linux-server-centos" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://blog.geralexgr.com/linux/upgrade-haproxy-to-2-1-3-red-hat-enterprise-linux-server-centos</a></p>
  <p>However, they really aren't clear for someone who's never done this before. I don't want to be compiling source code unless I absolutely have to.</p>
  <p>Running <em>apt-get install haproxy</em> says I'm on the latest version. Why then do I see 2.1.3 as the latest stable release?</p>
  <p>Any help would be appreciated, as always!</p>
