well so far okay on Wordpress 7 blog

some info on Nginx 1.9 stream feature

TCP Load Balancing - NGINX

Module ngx_stream_core_module

1.9 stream not working? 'directive is not allowed here'

The Stream Module
TCP load balancing is implemented in three NGINX modules, which are built into NGINX Plus. Together they define the directives in the top-level stream configuration block:

ngx_stream_core_module – Defines the base directives for enabling the processing of TCP traffic

ngx_stream_proxy_module – Defines the directives for proxying TCP traffic

ngx_stream_upstream_module – Defines the directives for TCP load balancing

Click to expand...

looks like I need to specifically enable these at compile time for Nginx

eva2000 · Apr 29, 2015

hmm looks like the ngx_stream_core module conflicts with nginx sticky module

Code:

Nginx official word on 1.8 and 1.9 NGINX 1.8 and 1.9 Released - NGINX

Today we’re happy to share the release of NGINX 1.8, the new stable branch, and NGINX 1.9, the new mainline branch where we’ll be working on development of new features. These branches replace 1.6 and 1.7 respectively. Over the past year, we’ve pushed 12 updates to 1.7, and all the features we added are now available in 1.8, including these:

Back-end SSL certificate verification – Protects against “man in the middle” (MITM) attacks by checking and validating certificates presented by upstream servers

Logging to syslog – Enables log aggregation over the network from multiple instances using UDP messages

Thread pools support for blocking I/O requests – Improves the performance of NGINX when blocking operations are required

Hash load balancing method – Allows for a server group where the client-server mapping is based on the hashed variable

Unbuffered upload – Optionally disables the buffering of a request body

For a list of all the features added during the last year, check out the release notes for 1.7.

How Branch Renumbering Works
The branch renumbering is part of our annual checkpoint process where we fork off a “stable” (no new features) branch from the “mainline” (feature development) branch. NGINX 1.8 was forked as the new stable branch from the 1.7 mainline branch, and the 1.7 branch is renumbered to 1.9. We are no longer supporting 1.6 (the former stable branch) or doing development in 1.7.

In NGINX nomenclature, stable (now version 1.8) means that the feature set is fixed; only critical bug fixes are committed to that branch. Stable does not necessarily mean more reliable or more bug-free. In fact, the mainline branch (now 1.9) is generally regarded as more reliable because we commit a wider range of bug fixes to it, not just the critical fixes merged into the stable branch. On the other hand, any changes to the stable branch are very unlikely to affect the operation of third-party modules, whereas in the mainline branch the addition of new features might do so.
To get a full view of how we do our branch renumbering (complete with pictures), check out last year’s post.

What to Expect in 1.9
The first new features we’re adding to 1.9 are TCP load balancing, which will allow our users to load balance TCP-based applications, and support for upstreams in shared memory zones, which improves failover consistency among worker processes. We’ve begun writing deployment guides about load balancing some of the more common services that use TCP. Looking forward to later this year, you can expect an implementation of HTTP/2, and changes to third party module interfaces. There’s great work being done and lots to look forward to in 1.9.

Where Does NGINX Plus Fit in All of This?
NGINX Plus is the commercially-supported version of NGINX, with a number of additional features. NGINX Plus tracks the mainline version of NGINX, and is typically released on a quarterly cycle. New features from the mainline branch are merged into NGINX Plus and released once they have passed full integration testing and have been proven in the field in the mainline branch.

You said safe to use, I upgraded, got then the same error about nginx sticky module. So downgraded again.

I see Nginx 1.9 stream module support has feature that overlaps with sticky module both allow you to do session persistence to ensure client ip goes to same upstream backend. Nginx 1.9 uses hash key feature for such so sticky module isn't needed anymore with Nginx 1.9

Syntax: hash key [consistent];
Default: —
Context: upstream
Specifies a load balancing method for a server group where client-server mapping is based on the hashed key value. Currently, the only supported value for the key is the client remote address specified as $remote_addr. Note that adding or removing a server from the group may result in remapping most of the keys to different servers. The method is compatible with the Cache::Memcached Perl library.

If the consistent parameter is specified, the ketama consistent hashing method will be used instead. The method ensures that only a few keys will be remapped to different servers when a server is added to or removed from the group. This helps to achieve a higher cache hit ratio for caching servers. The method is compatible with the Cache::Memcached::Fast Perl library with the ketama_points parameter set to 160.

anything need to be done to get this working on the .07 branch?

yeah actually a bit of work from 1 commit changes in .08 beta 02 (lines might not be same in .07 branch)

commits in .08 beta 02 for 1.9 + with-stream support

add nginx 1.9 stream core module support in .08 beta · centminmod/centminmod@4300b82 · GitHub lines 198-208 and then adding ${STREAM} to the 2 instances of ./configure

for .08 beta 02 lines 198-208 of inc/nginx_configure.inc

I don't plan adding this to .07 stable though, only going to start with .08 beta 02

Matt · May 2, 2015

I've just put .08 beta 02 onto the VPS, so running that now
