[SOLVED] Apache2/Nginx load balancing interface

[XoCluTch]

I read some of the other posts on this, stating that this has been resolved. But I am still having some issues with it.

Trying to run the Proxmox's Gui through a load balancer. Nginx or Apache (I've tried both)

I pulled this config off the forums, and it works, WITHOUT the "BalanceMember" part the problem happens when I add the Balancer member part of the code

The problem I am having is the Servers Shell wont work. However VMs console does work. When I tried this config in NGINX the VMs console, only worked maybe 20-50% of the time. With Apache this appears to be fixed, however still having issues when i Try to access the servers shell

My Apache Config:

<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/key


SSLProxyEngine on
SSLProxyVerify none
SSLProxyCheckPeerCN off
SSLProxyCheckPeerName off

ProxyRequests off
ProxyPreserveHost on


<Proxy "balancer://proxmox">
BalancerMember "https://192.168.4.31:8006"

<Proxy "balancer://wss-proxmox">

Hi,

I solve the same problem like yours, using haproxy(in tcp mode) because the setup is more simple for my taste. And it is work for me for almost a year.

Nice thanks that fixed it... Nginx and Apache "almost" worked, but HAProxy everything seems to work on it using "mode TCP" Appreciate the help

Thx. Take in account that you can use ponders for backends, so you can load your pmx nodes like: 50% connexions are going to node 1, 30% to node 2 and 20% to node 3 .

think you can post your config? Have random issues with mine

Hi,

What kind of issues do you have?

frontend localhost
bind *:443
mode tcp
default_backend nodes

backend nodes
balance roundrobin
mode tcp
server xoserver01 192.168.4.31:8006 check
server xoserver02 192.168.4.32:8006 check
server xoserver03 192.168.4.33:8006 check
server xoserver04 192.168.4.34:8006 check
server xoserver05 192.168.4.35:8006 check
server xoserver06 192.168.4.36:8006 check



Thats my config.... It was sort of working, now its not displaying the consoles. Idea's?

It will work if I have only 1 server listed... like:

backend nodes
balance roundrobin
mode tcp
server xoserver01 192.168.4.31:8006 check
