ngx_http_dyups_module

Description

This module can be used to update your upstream-list without reloadding Nginx.

TODO:

It can not work with common `nginx_upstream_check_module`.

Compilation

The module is not compiled into Tengine by default. It can be enabled with '--with-http_dyups_module'
configuration parameter, and enabled lua support with '--with-http_dyups_lua_api'.
But it can not be compiled as a '.so'.

Example

file: conf/nginx.conf

daemon off;
error_log logs/error.log debug;

events {
}

http {

    dyups_upstream_conf  conf/upstream.conf;

    include conf/upstream.conf;

    server {
        listen   8080;

        location / {
            proxy_pass http://$host;
        }
    }

    server {
        listen 8088;
        location / {
            echo 8088;
        }
    }

    server {
        listen 8089;
        location / {
            echo 8089;
        }
    }

    server {
        listen 8081;
        location / {
            dyups_interface;
        }
    }
}

file: conf/upstream.conf

upstream host1 {
    server 127.0.0.1:8088;
}

upstream host2 {
    server 127.0.0.1:8089;
}

Directives

Syntax: _dyups_interface_
Default: none
Context: loc

This directive set the interface location where you can add or delete the upstream list. See the section of Interface for detail.

Syntax: _dyups_read_msg_timeout time_
Default: _1s_
Context: main

This directive set the interval of workers readding the commands from share memory.

Syntax: _dyups_shm_zone_size size_
Default: _2M_
Context: main

This directive set the size of share memory which used to store the commands.

Syntax: _dyups_upstream_conf path_
Default: none
Context: main

This directive set the path of file which you dumped all of upstreams' configs, it will be loaded in init process after process respwan to restore upstreams.

Syntax: _dyups_trylock on | off_
Default: off
Context: main

You will get a better prefomance but it maybe not stable, and you will get a '409' when the update request conflicts with others.

restful interface

/detail get all upstreams and their servers
/list get the list of upstreams
/upstream/name find the upstream by it's name
/upstream/name update one upstream
body commands;
body server ip:port;
/upstream/name delete one upstream

Call the interface, when you get the return code is HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR 500, you need to reload nginx to make the Nginx work at a good state.

If you got HTTP_CONFLICT 409, you need resend the same commands again latter.

The /list and /detail interface will return HTTP_NO_CONTENT 204 when there is no upstream.

Other code means you should modify your commands and call the interface again.

ATTENEION: You also need a third-party to generate the new config and dump it to Nginx'conf directory.
