When building your Deis cluster on DigitalOcean, you’ll realize you don’t get the benefit of being able to provision cloud-provider specific load balancers like (AWS ELB, GCE Load Balancers) to route inbound traffic into the kubernetes cluster and into your deis-router. In this article, I’ll quickly go through setting up a (nginx + haproxy) load balancer that sits infront of deis. https://dchua.com/posts/2016-09-29-removing-dns-caching-on-nginx-proxy-pass/ Thu, 29 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000 https://dchua.com/posts/2016-09-29-removing-dns-caching-on-nginx-proxy-pass/ If you’re passing hostnames into your nginx’s proxy_pass and made a change to the hostname’s ip address, you might experience times when nginx is still referencing the old ip address despite your DNS TTL having already been expired.

In order to ensure that any IP change is quickly resolved, you should specify a valid period so that nginx will force a cache refresh on its ip storage. https://dchua.com/posts/2013-05-28-deploying-node-js-on-nginx-with-capistranocapper/ Tue, 28 May 2013 00:00:00 +0000 https://dchua.com/posts/2013-05-28-deploying-node-js-on-nginx-with-capistranocapper/ The other day on a single-day internal hackathon, together with Ernest and the rest of the One Cent Movement guys, we decided to do up an internal check-in mobile webapp where we can see where each of us were at anytime of the day. This is a simple guide to deploy your node.js app onto a production server. Which in my case is an Amazon EC2 m1.small instance. Pre-requsite: NPM is assumed to be the defacto package manager.
