You can’t use nginx for this currently[it’s not true anymore], but I would suggest looking at HAProxy. I have used it for exactly this purpose. The trick is to set long timeouts so that the socket connections are not closed. Something like: timeout client 86400000 # In the frontend timeout server 86400000 # In the … Read more
There are a few Lua-based webservers around: Xavante seems to be the most popular. Haserl is nice and small. Nanoki is not strictly a webserver, but a nice small pure Lua wiki engine worth studying. As for the Lua wikies, there is also Sputnik, which is fully featured and very flexible, but is a bit … Read more
For anyone encountering this problem when running Django with Supervisor, the solution is to add e.g. the following to the supervisord section of Supervisor’s configuration: environment=LANG=”en_US.utf8″, LC_ALL=”en_US.UTF-8″, LC_LANG=”en_US.UTF-8″ This solved the problem for me in Supervisor 3.0a8 running on Debian Squeeze. Also make sure Supervisor re-reads the configuration by running: supervisorctl reread supervisorctl restart myservice … Read more
for anyone else facing this issues, I had this problem and had removed my mime.types include http { include mime.types; … server { listen: 80 … }
I’ve recently stumbled upon this need myself and have found that in order to use variables in a proxy_pass destination you need to set a resolver as your error.log would most probably contain something like no resolver defined to resolve … The solution in my case was to setup the following using a local DNS … Read more
With NGINX Docker image Apply envsubst on template of the configuration file at container start. envsubst is included in official NGINX docker images. Environment variable is referenced in a form $VARIABLE or ${VARIABLE}. nginx.conf.template: user nginx; worker_processes 1; error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log warn; pid /var/run/nginx.pid; events { worker_connections 1024; } http { server { listen 80; location … Read more
According to nginx documentation there is no syntax for NOT matching a regular expression. Instead, match the target regular expression and assign an empty block, then use location / to match anything else So you could define something like location ~ (dir1|file2\.php) { # empty } location / { rewrite ^/(.*) http://example.com/$1 permanent; }
This answer might be a bit late, but what you need is an automatic reverse proxy. I have used two solutions for that: jwilder/nginx-proxy Traefik With time, my preference is to use Traefik. Mostly because it is well documented and maintained, and comes with more features (load balancing with different strategies and priorities, healthchecks, circuit … Read more
It depends. Out of the box, putting nginx in front as a reverse proxy is going to give you: Access logs Error logs Easy SSL termination SPDY support gzip support Easy ways to set HTTP headers for certain routes in a couple of lines Very fast static asset serving (if you’re serving off S3/etc. though, … Read more
add_header works as well with proxy_pass as without. I just today set up a configuration where I’ve used exactly that directive. I have to admit though that I’ve struggled as well setting this up without exactly recalling the reason, though. Right now I have a working configuration and it contains the following (among others): server … Read more
