This simple app is deployed as a reverse proxy server to be used for load balancing several apps in Heroku.
In order to run the project locally:
- Run the script to create required files, and install nginx
./scripts/setup_nginx.sh - Source the environment file, and generate the nginx config file using:
source .env && erb config/nginx.conf.erb > config/nginx.conf - Run the local nginx server using:
nginx -p . -c config/nginx.conf &
After making changes to nginx.conf.erb, update nginx and reload to reflect the changes using:
source .env && erb config/nginx.conf.erb > config/nginx.conf && nginx -s reload
Stop the nginx server using: nginx -s stop
