Dynamic HTTP routing with Nginx and Redis (reimplements Hipache with Nginx using the Lua module)

Hipache-Nginx (experimental)

This projects is an experimental port of Hipache to nginx using the Lua module.

The project only consists of configuration files for now but it will evolve into a ready-to-use scalable proxy solution.

1. Nginx requires the LUA module: installation instructions
2. You have to install the lua-redis client.

Health-checks

Dead backends won't be marked as dead in Redis, they will only be announced as dead. This is on purpose since it's possible to have a delay between the dead detection and the announcement with the current implementation.

This is not a blocker for production deployment, you will need to monitor the "dead" channel with the Hipache-hchecker.

hipache-nginx's Issues

Project unmaintained

This project looks unmaintained compared to the original hipache?

If your blog post says that this can be 10x faster, should we concentrate resources on making hipache-nginx better than the original hipache?

Need LICENSE

Under what license is this released, if any? We'd like to use it but have some restrictions as to appropriate licenses.
