Q) Is it possible to use a reverse proxies / load balancers with CLOG Apps?
A) CLOG uses websockets which uses an http "upgrade" mechanism which means
the proxy or load balancer must have some knowledge of how to handle websockets. The two most popular Apache and Nginx support it:
For nginx see:
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/websocket.html
http://nginx.com/blog/websocket-nginx/
For Apache 2.4.5+ see:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy_wstunnel.html
Example of CLOG application as its own domain:
ServerName snake.clog.com
ServerAdmin david@botton.com
ProxyPass /clog ws://127.0.0.1:8080/clog
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8080/
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/clog.err.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/clog.log common
Example of a CLOG application as a subdirectory on a larger site using Apache:
ServerName clog.com
ServerAlias www.clog.com
ServerAdmin david@botton.com
DocumentRoot /www/clog
ProxyPass /snake http://127.0.0.1:8080
ProxyPassReverse /snake http://www.clog.com:8080
ProxyPass /clog ws://www.clog.com:8080/clog
ProxyPass /js http://www.clog.com:8080/js
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/clog.err.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/clog.log common
