[Plugin: NGINX Manager] question about the functionality

Hi Ovidiu and thanks for your interest in our plugin.

You can find a Nginx Configuration example in the Overview submenu page in Nginx Manager plugin page.

Hope this helps.

ah, I see. I should be fine with those examples, except I am not sure what these lines are supposed to be/mean/do:

proxy_pass https://ALL_backend;`

and

proxy_pass https://ALL_ADMIN_backend;

what do I replace ALL_backend with? are those variables?

oh and did Iread this right that all I need to replace in that example are:

– YOUR_CACHE_NAME
– /path/to/cache/your_cache

and maybe the caching times/duration, I mean the rest are just set variables, right?

proxy_pass https://ALL_backend;

ALL_backend and ALL_ADMIN_backend are two variable that contains the addresses of all the backend and admin backend server.

In our configuration we have something like

upstream ALL_backend  {
  server 111.2.3.1:80;
  server 111.2.3.2:80;
  server 111.2.3.3:80;
  ...
  server 127.0.0.1:8080 backup;
}

upstream ALL_ADMIN_backend  {
  server 111.2.4.1:80;
  server 111.2.4.2:80;
  ...
  server 127.0.0.1:8080 backup;
}

About the things to change: the other values are about the cache duration etc. It’s better you read NGINX wiki for details.

ciao

thanks for all that info, but I am wondering why the Nginx Configuration example in the Overview submenu page in Nginx Manager plugin page doesn’t even mention the need to set up the backends as Hpatoio explained. I think that is valuable information.

Btw. is there a specific need to have a separate proxy for ALL_backend and ALL_ADMIN_backend?
