Configure an Nginx server load balancer instance in CentOS

The following uses the reverse proxy function of Nginx to configure an Nginx load balancing server. The backend has three service nodes for providing Web services, and load balancing of the three nodes is achieved through Nginx scheduling. /Etc/nginx/conf. d/default. confupstreammyserver {server192.168.12.181: 80 weight = 3max_fails = 3fail_timeout = 20 s; server192.

The following uses the reverse proxy function of Nginx to configure an Nginx load balancing server. The backend has three service nodes for providing Web services, and load balancing of the three nodes is achieved through Nginx scheduling.
/Etc/nginx/conf. d/default. conf


Upstream myserver {
Server 192.168.12.181: 80 weight = 3 max_fails = 3 fail_timeout = 20 s;
Server 192.168.12.182: 80 weight = 1 max_fails = 3 fail_timeout = 20 s;
Server 192.168.12.183: 80 weight = 4 max_fails = 3 fail_timeout = 20 s;
}

Server
{
Listen 80;
Server_name www.domain.com 192.168.12.189;
Index index.htm index.html;
Root/ixdba/web/wwwroot;

Location /{
Proxy_pass http: // myserver;
Proxy_next_upstream http_500 http_502 http_503 error timeout invalid_header;
Include/opt/nginx/conf/proxy. conf;
}
}


In the above configuration instance, a server load balancer group myserver is defined first, and then the "proxy_pass http: // myserver" function is implemented in the location section, the proxy_pass command specifies the proxy's backend server address and port. The address can be the host name or IP address, or the server load balancer group name set through the upstream command. Proxy_next_upstream is used to define a failover policy. when the backend service node returns errors such as 500, 502, 503, 504, and execution timeout, the request is automatically forwarded to another server in the upstream load balancing group, implement failover. Finally, the include command contains a proxy. conf file.

The content of/opt/nginx/conf/proxy. conf is:

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;
Proxy_connect_timeout 90;
Proxy_send_timeout 90;
Proxy_read_timeout 90;
Proxy_buffer_size 4 k;
Proxy_buffers 4 32 k;
Proxy_busy_buffers_size 64 k;
Proxy_temp_file_write_size 64 k;

The proxy function of Nginx is implemented through the http proxy module. By default, the http proxy module has been installed when Nginx is installed. Therefore, you can directly use the http proxy module. The following describes in detail the meaning of each option in the proxy. conf file.

Proxy_set_header: sets the backend server to obtain the user's host name or real IP address, and the real IP address of the proxy.
Client_body_buffer_size: Used to specify the buffer size of the client request body. it can be understood that the buffer is saved locally before being passed to the user.
Proxy_connect_timeout: the timeout time for connecting to the backend server, that is, the timeout time for initiating a handshake and waiting for response.
Proxy_send_timeout: indicates the data return time of the backend server. that is, the backend server must transmit all data within the specified time. otherwise, Nginx will disconnect the connection.
Proxy_read_timeout: sets the time for Nginx to obtain information from the proxy's backend server, indicating that Nginx waits for the response time of the backend server after the connection is established successfully, in fact, it is the time that Nginx has entered the backend queue for processing.
Proxy_buffer_size: Set the buffer size. by default, the buffer size is equal to the size set by the instruction proxy_buffers.
Proxy_buffers: set the number and size of the buffer. The response information that nginx obtains from the proxy's backend server is placed in the buffer zone.
Proxy_busy_buffers_size: used to set the proxy_buffers size that can be used when the system is busy. The size officially recommended is proxy_buffers * 2.
Proxy_temp_file_write_size: specifies the size of the temporary file cached by the proxy.
