Hi, community (and Oslo team),
I am trying to set up a load-balanced DHIS2 web-server system; we have a web server that’s getting slaughtered with incoming data, and we want to distribute the load to other physical servers. I’ve done some experimentation, a fair amount of web-trawling, and using a dedicated nginx virtual server, have (semi)successfully set up a load-balancing model like so: My problem is that going through the load-balancer, I appear to need some kind of setting that will “keep” me at the Web-Server I first started with – the load-balancer is set to round-robin, currently, with the following settings: upstream dhis2 { server webserver1.dhis.hisp.org; server webserver2.dhis.hisp.org; } server { listen 80; server_name www.hisp.org hisp.org; location / { include /etc/nginx/proxy_params; proxy_pass http://dhis2; } location /staging { include /etc/nginx/proxy_params; proxy_pass http://dhis2; } location /training { include /etc/nginx/proxy_params; proxy_pass http://dhis2; } } What’s happening is that I attempt to log in, and get immediately switched “round-robin” style to the second server for the post (promptly getting the “forgot password?” prompt). Nett result: I can’t log in… If I log in to either one of the webservers directly, everything is fine and dandy, but going through the LB is a no-go, so far. (I have noticed some interesting behaviour from two web servers connected to the same Db, and would be keen to hear what input anyone has on that score – bad idea? If so, why? And what can be done to address the issues? – but I shall save that for a separate post…) Has anyone done any research/experimentation/development with a load-balancing model of DHIS2 in a web-server context? I would be most interested to hear input.
