Hi,
I am looking to implement a HA Nginx setup based on Heartbeat. Ideally my end
result will be an active/active setup with two Nginx servers running in front of
a serverpool. It will need to handle Nginx/network/OS failures and dynamically
reassign the load to the server(s) that are still alive.
Before going ahead I was wondering if anyone has done similar work, and/or have
seen any docs/scripts/tools that will make this easier? It seems I will need to
create an OCF compliant resource script to monitor and output status from Nginx,
I was thinking about modifying the existing init.d scripts to achieve this, it
seems what is needed is some altering of exit values and implementation of some
XML metadata output.
If anyone is interested in this, or have alternative tips on how to create a HA
setup with Nginx (with the exception of expensive hardware, which I can
currently not use) I would be glad to hear about it :) I will share the results
of my setup when I get something working well.
Best regards
