nginx: Basic Load Balancing
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
1) Create Upstream Servers
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/nginx_upstream_servers.png
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/nginx_edit_upstream_dialog.png
|
|
|
|
Create a server with a description and IP of the server. The priority is not important if you have a single server.
|
|
It is used as a weight for round robin. Servers with a higher weight will receive more traffic.
|
|
|
|
2) Create An Upstream
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/nginx_edit_upstream.png
|
|
|
|
Group upstream servers to an upstream. An upstream is a group of servers to load balance between.
|
|
Give it a useful name and choose the previously created server.
|
|
|
|
3) Create A Location
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/nginx_edit_location_dialog2.png
|
|
|
|
Locations are are used to map URLs to upstreams, directories, settings and so on.
|
|
In our case we want to proxy the request to the previously created upstream.
|
|
If we want to match everything, we use "/" without a special matcher.
|
|
Now save the location.
|
|
|
|
4) Create A HTTP Server
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/nginx_edit_http_server_dialog.png
|
|
|
|
In the last step, we have to create a port.
|
|
This happens in a "http" block, which contains some basic configuration and the location blocks.
|
|
|
|
Enter the domain name into the "Server Name" field and select the previously created location.
|
|
If you want to use support TLS, you have to add a certificate.
|
|
|
|
5) Restart nginx
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/nginx_reload.png
|
|
|
|
Click the reload button and you are done. You may need to open some ports in the firewall if you have not done that yet.
|
|
Since you are directly on the firewall, There is no need to use NAT similar workaround.
