Dokku plugin nginx-cache

Easily enable the NGINX cache.

dokku plugin:install https://github.com/kvandake/dokku-nginx-cache.git nginx-cache

To validate if it is working you can simply check the X-Cache-Status. You can that easily with curl from the command line:

$ curl -I http://YOURAMAZINAPP.DOMAIN.EXT/

You can validate it by running it multiple times, and after the first time it will show something like:

X-Cache-Status: HIT

Enable nginx caching

$ dokku nginx:cache:enable MYAPP

Disable nginx cache for your app

$ dokku nginx:cache:disable MYAPP

Currently there are no configuration options. However, Nginx does obey a number of caching- and X-Accel-*-related headers.

You can always play around by editing directly the file in /etc/nginx/conf.d/dokku-cache.conf

Snippet from nginx docs:

X-Accel-Expires, Expires, Cache-Control, Set-Cookie, and Vary set the parameters of response caching;
X-Accel-Redirect performs an internal redirect to the specified URI;
X-Accel-Limit-Rate sets the rate limit for transmission of a response to a client;
X-Accel-Buffering enables or disables buffering of a response;
X-Accel-Charset sets the desired charset of a response.
