NAME

Toadfarm::Manual::BehindReverseProxy - Toadfarm behind nginx

DESCRIPTION

This is useful when you want to run Toadfarm behind a reverse proxy, such as nginx.

Nginx config

The "rewrite" rule is very important, since it will remove the "/myapp" part from the request URL that the Mojolicious route dispatcher will see.

upstream myapp {
  server 10.11.12.13:8001;
}

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name domain.com

  location /myapp {
    rewrite ^/myapp/?(.*)$ /$1 break;
    proxy_set_header X-Request-Base http://$host/myapp;
    proxy_pass http://myapp;
  }
}

Toadfarm script

The magic part here is the "X-Request-Base" HTTP header which is set by nginx. In addition, you need to set proxy to "1" so Mojo::Server::Daemon can behave correctly.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Toadfarm -init;

mount "/home/www/project1/script/app1" => {
  "X-Request-Base" => "http://domain.com/myapp",
};

start [ "http://*:8080" ], proxy => 1, workers => 8;
