I have an Nginx with 2 servers behind (90% and 10% load balancing), where I send requests. The configuration is following:
upstream https://upstream-stage.infra.com/ {
ip_hash;
server oldserver-stage.infra.com weight=9 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=30s;
server newserver-stage.infra.com weight=1 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=30s;
}
server {
server_name upstream-nginx-stage.infra.com www.upstream-nginx-stage.infra.com;
return 301 https://upstream-nginx-stage.infra.com$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/wild.infra.com.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/wild.infra.com.key;
server_name www.upstream-nginx-stage.infra.com;
return 301 https://upstream-nginx-stage.infra.com$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/wild.infra.com.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/wild.infra.com.key;
server_name upstream-nginx-stage.infra.com;
location / {
proxy_pass https://upstream-stage.infra.com/;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
}
}
My question is - how to make exceptions in this configuration to ALWAYS send requests as following without any load-balancing:
upstream-nginx-stage.infra.com/exception1PDF/... => oldserver-stage.infra.com
upstream-nginx-stage.infra.com/exception2/... => newserver-stage.infra.com
upstream-nginx-stage.infra.com/someAPIrequest#/... => APIPublicApp.azurewebsites.net (standalone and completelly different site)
upstream old_server {
ip_hash;
server oldserver-stage.infra.com weight=9 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=30s;
}
upstream new_server {
ip_hash;
server newserver-stage.infra.com weight=9 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=30s;
}
upstream azure_server {
ip_hash;
server azure_app.infra.com weight=9 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=30s;
}
server {
[configs]
location / {
proxy_pass https://upstream-stage.infra.com/;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
}
location /exception1PDF {
proxy_pass https://old_server;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
}
location /exception2 {
proxy_pass https://new_server;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
}
location /someAPIrequest# {
proxy_pass https://azure_server;
proxy_set_header Host $host; # Or you can set the Host configured in the server_name of the backend server, it depends of the configuration of the backend
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
}
}
Specific for Azure you can use other approach like that:
location /someAPIrequest# {
proxy_pass https://apipublicapp.azurewebsites.net;
proxy_set_header Host "apipublicapp.azurewebsites.net";
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
}
