Symfony's Request and reverse proxy - symfony

I've apache2 and nginx. I set "trust proxy headers" to true in configuration, but anyway get internal ip when calls $request->getClientIp(); What do I wrong?
If I calling getClientIp with parameter $proxy = true then I getting correct IP. But there is configuration where proxy headers enabled, aren't that enough?

Actually this is an issue, fixed by this merge https://github.com/symfony/symfony/commit/40599ec0a24e688ef5903e2bd3cfb29b5ab29a18

In short: you always need to use $proxy = true if you're planning on using some kind of reverse proxy. With this parameter set (and trustProxyData(); enabled), $this->getClientIp(); will return the correct IP with reverse proxy.
Explanation: even after configured, proxy headers will return HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR or HTTP_CLIENT_IP as the user IP, while REMOTE_ADDR will return server localhost address (most likely 127.0.0.1). $proxy = true checks exactly that. Here's the source code for this function:
public function getClientIp($proxy = false)
{
if ($proxy) {
if ($this->server->has('HTTP_CLIENT_IP')) {
return $this->server->get('HTTP_CLIENT_IP');
} elseif (self::$trustProxy && $this->server->has('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR')) {
return $this->server->get('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR');
}
}
return $this->server->get('REMOTE_ADDR');
}

NGINX Ingress Redirection Based On Domain Name

I have two domain names, each for different applications hosted in a single kubernetes cluster.
Is there a way to configure ingress to redirect to the different apps based on the hostname in the request it receives?
For example:
www.app1.com and www.app2.com point to the same IP address. However, I want www.app1.com to redirect to /appABC while www.app2.com redirect to /appXYZ.
I have attempted to capture the host name and use this to determine the redirect but it doesn't work.
Is what I'm trying to do possible with NGINX?
Yes,it is Possible. You must need to create two configuration files and point them to their respective paths. Please follow this link for more info and refer to this SO also to get further idea on how to use.
After some experimentation, using the NGINX Playground, I was able to come up with this solution.
...
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/server-snippet: |
set $is_app1_base 1;
set $is_app2_base 1;
if ($host !~ "^.*app1\.com$" ) {
set $is_app1_base 0;
}
if ($request_uri != "/") {
set $is_app1_base 0;
set $is_app2_base 0;
}
if ($is_app1_base = 1) {
return 301 $scheme://$host/appABC;
}
if ($host !~ "^.*app2\.com$" ) {
set $is_app2_base 0;
}
if ($is_app2_base = 1) {
return 301 $scheme://$host/appXYZ;
}
In case you're wondering why a number of if statements had to be used this way, NGINX is not that great with if statements and logical operations.
Another caveat worth stating here is that all ingresses associated with this NGINX controller will be affected by this server-snippet; Because nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/server-snippet is a global annotation.

Dynamic routing with nginx, lua and redis

I am trying to make nginx perform proxying based on the URI with the help of lua and redis.
So far, I am able to successfully proxy simple URI like '/hello' to desired target. Was able to achieve this by saving the mappings in a redis hashmap something like,
HGETALL "127.0.0.1:8080"
1) "/demo1/test/hello4"
2) "example.com/demo1/test/hello4"
3) "/hello"
4) "example.com/hello"
nginx.conf
worker_processes 2;
error_log logs/error.log info;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
server {
listen 8080;
location / {
resolver 8.8.4.4; # use Google's open DNS server
set $target '';
access_by_lua '
local http_host = ngx.var.http_host
if not http_host then
ngx.log(ngx.ERR, "no http-host found")
return ngx.exit(400)
end
local redis = require "resty.redis"
local red = redis:new()
red:set_timeout(1000) -- 1 second
local ok, err = red:connect("127.0.0.1", 6379)
if not ok then
ngx.log(ngx.ERR, "failed to connect to redis: ", err)
return ngx.exit(500)
end
local fPath, err = red:hget(http_host, ngx.var.uri)
if not fPath then
ngx.log(ngx.ERR, "No fPath: ", err)
return ngx.exit(500)
end
ngx.var.target = fPath
';
proxy_pass $target;
}
}
}
However, I also want to handle dynamic URI's like example:-
user/id/1 -> "example.com/user/id/1",
user/id/2 -> "example.com/user/id/2",
user/id/3 -> "example.com/user/id/3",
and so on....
I am not sure how can I create a key value pair in redis and lua logic for this case which can handle the dynamicity of the id's.
I tried looking but haven't been able to find the right direction or some resource to aid me in figuring this out.
Any help would be really great!
If you want to achieve this in production, I would recommend using mature API gateways like Apache APISIX or Kong. To implement it yourself, maybe you could store paths with wildcard or Lua patterns in Redis to allow later matching to the original URI. Applying some simple heuristics would help reduce the range of checking.

Nginx returning 404 when accessing it through varnish server over public IP

I'm trying to serve static contents through varnish(client<-varnish<-nginx) but I'm having an issue accessing it through public IP. Varnish is working fine when accessing it locally (where varnish is running) but throws status 404 when accessing it through public IP.
My flow looks like this:
Client--> Caching_Server[NGINX(used for SSL support only) -> Varnish] --> Origin_Server[Nginx]
My varnish server config is as simple as:
probe healthcheck {
.url = "http://10.10.10.3/healthcheck";
.timeout = 2s;
.interval = 30s;
.window = 5;
.threshold = 3;
}
backend default {
.host = "10.10.10.3";
.port = "80";
.probe = healthcheck;
}
sub vcl_recv {
if (req.url ~ ".ts$") {
unset req.http.Cookie;
}
set req.backend_hint = default;
}
I also checked the Nginx logs and I see that it's throwing 404 which explains why varnish is responding with 404. But my question is why is it working when I test it locally using localhost.
The output from varnishlog -g request -q "ReqUrl eq '/'" will probably give you the answer to your question.
Run the command while sending a request internally, and a request from the internet. Compare the output, and see where there's a difference.
If you need help, add the logs of both requests to your question and I'll help you examine the situation.

Nginx - Different proxy pass based on IP ranges

I've got a case where I need to do a different proxy pass in Nginx depending on which CIDR the client's IP address is part of.
So, for example, let's say I have the following CIDRs:
10.50.0.0/16
10.51.0.0/16
10.52.0.0/16
Each of those client addresses needs to have a different proxy_pass in Nginx. How would I go about doing this? I'm very new to Nginx so achieving things like this are still a bit confusing.
You could use Geo module. Your configuration then would look somewhat like this:
geo $upstream {
default default_upstream;
10.50.0.0/16 some_upstream;
10.51.0.0/16 another_upstream;
}
upstream default_upstream {
server 192.168.0.1:80;
}
upstream some_upstream {
server 192.168.0.2:80;
}
upstream another_upstream {
server 192.168.0.3:80;
}
server {
...
location ... {
...
proxy_pass http://$upstream;
}
...
}

How to get request’s HTTP headers with Socket.io?

I have an Express app running behind Nginx, so when I try to get the user’s IP, I always get 127.0.0.1 instead of the real one, which is set by Nginx in the X-Real-IP header. How do I get this header? Is there a way to have it via the socket object?
The code would be basically like that:
io.sockets.on( 'connection', function( socket ) {
var ip = /* ??? */;
/* do something with the IP…
… some stuff …
*/
});
To get the IP when you're running behind NGINX or another proxy:
var ip = req.header('x-forwarded-for') || req.connection.remoteAddress;
or for Socket.IO
client.handshake.headers['x-forwarded-for'] || client.handshake.address.address;
