Hipache-Nginx (experimental)

This projects is an experimental port of Hipache to nginx using the Lua module.

The project only consists of configuration files for now but it will evolve into a ready-to-use scalable proxy solution.

  1. Nginx requires the LUA module: installation instructions
  2. You have to install the lua-redis client.

Health-checks

Dead backends won't be marked as dead in Redis, they will only be announced as dead. This is on purpose since it's possible to have a delay between the dead detection and the announcement with the current implementation.

This is not a blocker for production deployment, you will need to monitor the "dead" channel with the Hipache-hchecker.
