apache + nodejs

Question

JavaScript

Good afternoon.

Installed nodejs, server is listening on port 8000. Everything works fine with an http request to mydomain.ru:8000

Tell me what needs to be done so that when accessing nodejs.mydomain.ru, requests immediately (not mod_rewrite) go to mydomain.ru:8000

Thank you.

Answer 1

Putting Apache before node.js is stupid, because a thread will hang on each connection, and then the meaning is in node.js.
nginx is good for everyone, but it doesn’t know how to proxy websockets - node.js, I suspect, for real time?
You can either try HAProxy (plug it in front of everyone), or leave node.js hanging on a different port (for example, if it is used for realtime stuff, and only js communicates with it, and html pages are given to something else - users do not need to go to this address).

Answer 2

Maybe put before Apache and node.js, like nginx? Who will already decide which requests to send where?

Answer 3

configure the domain to mydomain.ru in the same way as mydomain.ru itself. Those. paths, ports, etc., everything is the same, only the server name is different.

Answer 4

But nginx is better.
