nxingx Proxy for Neo4j

Overview

The main purpose of this docker configuration is to have a nginx proxy in front of a couple of Neo4j instances. nginx will act as a load balancer and Neo4j clients will only need the nginx address to connect.

How to build

Building the docker image is really ease. Check out the repository, build the image and run it. There are a couple expectations, this container makes:

The Neo4j instances run also in Docker containers
All Neo4j containers are linked to this container. So no external TCP traffic is made - it will happen within Docker infrastructure only.
The hostname, nginx will serve the requests from, is configured via -e NEO4J_HOSTNAME=<hostname>

Here are the steps as shell commands:

git clone git@github.com:daincredibleholg/docker-nginx.git
cd docker-nginx
sudo docker build -t daincredibleholg/docker-nginx .
sudo docker run -itd --privileged -e NEO4J_HOSTNAME=neo4j.steinhauer.technology --link neo4j:neo4jn1 -p 7474:7474 --name nginx-neo4j-router daincredibleholg/nginx-neo4j-lb

The last command expects an existing Docker container with name neo4j to be available.
