**NGINX LOad Balancing**
Am trying to load balance my servers hosted in IIS using nginx. If i shut down one of the app pool, nginx should stop sending requests to that server. But what I am seeing nginx will keep sending requests to both servers.Below is my configuration.
events {
worker_connections 2048;
}
http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
sendfile off;
#tcp_nopush on;
keepalive_timeout 0;
upstream xxx {
server xxxxxxx:80 max_fails=1 fail_timeout=30;
server xxxxxxxx:80 max_fails=1 fail_timeout=30;
}
server {
listen zzzz;
server_name localhost;
location /yy {
proxy_cache off;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_set_header Connection "";
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_pass http://xxx;
}
}
Nginx will still keep sending the requests to the other server even though i have shut down the app pool.

if I'm not wrong,Nginx still continue to call that server because he doesn't find something strange...port 80 is reachable and you must change checking method to find an http error.For example this one : https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/modules/healthcheck/ ...if the http response is not a 200,he consider that server "bad" and he removes it from the pool.

If I spin up a nodejs server and use busboy then I am able to upload large files (10+ gbs) but when i use the same nodejs code and use nginx as a reverse proxy then nginx throws "413 request entity too large"
Has anyone encountered such issue? How do we solve this? I know i can set a "client_max_body_size" variable but this would mean there will still be a hard limit of the file.
My nginx config looks like the following:
server {
listen 80;
server_name *.example.local;
location /api {
proxy_pass http://host.docker.internal:5000;
proxy_pass_header Accept;
proxy_pass_header Server;
keepalive_requests 1000;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_buffering off;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Ssl on;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_connect_timeout 600;
proxy_send_timeout 600;
proxy_read_timeout 600;
send_timeout 600;
client_max_body_size 100M;
}
}
client_max_body_size size;
Sets the maximum allowed size of the client request body. If the size
in a request exceeds the configured value, the 413 (Request Entity Too
Large) error is returned to the client. Please be aware that browsers
cannot correctly display this error. Setting size to 0 disables
checking of client request body size.

In your nginx configuration you have client_max_body_size=100M. You need to adjust it according to your needs like 15G etc. This property of configuration defines the max size of body payload a client can send to Nginx. If payload size is greater than this, a 413 http status is sent to client. Setting it to 0 (as suggested by Taxel) will disable the payload size check but this will expose the server to outside attack where a malicious user keeps your server busy by sending random big files which can deteriorate server performance.
Answering my own question:
In order to disable request/proxy buffering in my nginx reverse proxy, I had to add the following directives in the nginx config file
proxy_buffering off;
proxy_request_buffering off;
So, now my nginx config file looks like the following:
server {
listen 80;
server_name *.example.local;
location /api {
proxy_pass http://host.docker.internal:5000;
proxy_pass_header Accept;
proxy_pass_header Server;
keepalive_requests 1000;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_buffering off;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Ssl on;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_connect_timeout 600;
proxy_send_timeout 600;
proxy_read_timeout 600;
send_timeout 600;
client_max_body_size 0;
proxy_buffering off; # <-----
proxy_request_buffering off; # <-----
}
}
Trying to get nginx to proxy my node.js app and use a domain with it. I'm going to have many domains mapped to the server so i'm using separate .conf files for each server block. The issue i'm having right now is that I can only seem to get the default nginx page to show up when i go to the domain. I'll try to explain the current setup as clearly as possible, and if you need any more information please let me know.
nginx.conf changes
I set the root path to where my apps files are, root /var/www; so for example, an app would be deployed to the folder /var/www/example.com.
server block config
I created a new file for the server block /etc/nginx/conf.d/example_com.conf which contains
server
{
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name example.com www.example.com;
location /var/www
{
proxy_pass http://localhost:3103;
include /etc/nginx/proxy_params;
}
}
please note that going to my http://myip:3103 renders the app as it should and the file /etc/nginx/proxy_params contains
proxy_buffers 16 32k;
proxy_buffer_size 64k;
proxy_busy_buffers_size 128k;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_pragma $http_authorization;
proxy_connect_timeout 59s;
proxy_hide_header X-Powered-By;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_ignore_headers Cache-Control Expires;
proxy_next_upstream error timeout invalid_header http_500 http_502 http_503 http_504 http_404;
proxy_no_cache $http_pragma $http_authorization;
proxy_pass_header Set-Cookie;
proxy_read_timeout 600;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_send_timeout 600;
proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k;
proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding '';
proxy_set_header Cookie $http_cookie;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header Proxy '';
proxy_set_header Referer $http_referer;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Original-Request $request_uri;
Is there anything I am doing wrong here? Do you need any more info? Please let me know! nginx is pretty new for me and i feel like i'm super close i'm just note understanding something. Thanks!
Your configuration provides requests processing like this:
requests to http://[www.]example.com/var/www[*] will be proxy_passed to
you app
all other requests will be processed like static/direct
requests in default nginx directory
If you haven't static files and all request has to processing by app, then you should fix your configuration like this:
location /
{
proxy_pass http://localhost:3103;
include /etc/nginx/proxy_params;
}
If you have static files that can be served by nginx, then you should to complicate you configuration a bit like here or here.
Here is documentation for understanding how to nginx works.
I want to setup nginx server listening on one port, proxying the connection to a different port to a nodejs application. The problem is that I get 500 error - worker_connections are not enough while connecting to upstream.
Nginx config:
upstream node {
server 127.0.0.1:1235;
keepalive 8;
}
server {
listen 1234;
server_name http://123.123.123.123:1234 node;
access_log off;
location / {
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_pass http://123.123.123.123:1234/;
proxy_redirect off;
}
}
What's wrong?
You should correct your proxy_pass since you are proxying requests back to nginx itself.
According to your config it must be
proxy_pass http://node/;
You may need to add:
proxy_responses 0;
to you nginx config.
I set up a nodejs application on port 8082 and a nginx-webserver with those configurations:
worker_processes 1;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
sendfile on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
server {
listen 80;
server_name mydomain.com;
access_log \logs\access.log;
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8082;
}
}
}
in the nginx.conf file. The machine is a windows server 2008.
I control it with remote deskop, so i can check whether i can
ggo to the url mydomain.com and it works on that machine so far - the nodejs
app works fine.
On any other machine i cannot get to the mydomain.com url, i.e. i get "ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT", but i can go to the ipadress on port 8082 and it works fine as well. I have the mydomain.com domain pointed to that ipadress and there is no hosts entry in system32/drivers/etc on the server as well
edit:
problem was the firewall, it was set up for the IIS, not for nginx - so all incoming requests got blocked
I have a simple example running ngnix that proxies to my node.js app running on localhost:3001. Now I want to add some optimizations and the problem is I'm not sure I completely understand the way ngnix config files work.
What I want to do is to serve index.html, about.html and main.js from the CDN via a proxy-forward through ngnix. I imagine I need to add something like a rewrite just for those two files (and an entire images and css directory eventually)
So user goes to mydomain.com .. ngnix kicks in and delivers index.html from cdn.mydomain.com/index.html.
Here is what I have now:
===================
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
client_max_body_size 10m;
client_body_buffer_size 128k;
proxy_connect_timeout 600;
proxy_send_timeout 600;
proxy_read_timeout 600;
proxy_buffer_size 4k;
proxy_buffers 4 32k;
proxy_busy_buffers_size 64k;
proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k;
send_timeout 600;
proxy_buffering off;

# the IP(s) on which your node server is running i choose the port 3001
upstream app_yourdomian {
server 127.0.0.1:3001;
}
# the nginx server instance
server {
listen 0.0.0.0:80;
server_name ec2-75-101-203-200.compute-1.amazonaws.com ec2-75-101-203-200.compute-1.amazonaws;
access_log /var/log/nginx/yourdomain.log;
# pass the request to the node.js server with the correct headers and much more can be added, see nginx config options
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_pass http://localhost:3001;
proxy_redirect off;
}
}
============================
If you really need to proxy (not redirect to) index, about and main.js, then it would be something like having three more simple locations for each of the above
location = /index.html {
proxy_pass ...
}
You might also want to take a look at http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpCoreModule#location
For locations without regex the most specific match is used.
