Running nginx as part of cf node app as multiprocess #240
Description
What version of Cloud Foundry and CF CLI are you using? (i.e. What is the output of running cf curl /v2/info && cf version?
cf api version 2.209.0
cf cli - cf version 7.5.0+0ad1d63.2022-06-04
What version of the buildpack you are using?
nginx_buildpack-cached-cflinuxfs4-v1.2.6.zip
If you were attempting to accomplish a task, what was it you were attempting to do?
We are trying run an application with multiple process, one being nginx and other one node-js. The nginx will have rate limiiting configuration and it routes to the nodejs process. (We dont want to use the cf route service).
Manifest configuration:
---
applications:
- name: cf-nodejs
memory: 1G
processes:
- type: web
command: nginx -p /home/vcap/app -c ./nginx.conf
instances: 1
- type: worker
command: node server.js
instances: 2
random-route: true
buildpacks:
- nginx_buildpack
- nodejs_buildpack
nginx configuration:
worker_processes 1;
daemon off;
error_log stderr;
events { worker_connections 1024; }
http {
charset utf-8;
log_format cloudfoundry 'NginxLog "$request" $status $body_bytes_sent';
resolver {{nameservers}};
access_log /dev/stdout cloudfoundry;
default_type application/octet-stream;
sendfile on;
tcp_nopush on;
keepalive_timeout 30;
port_in_redirect off; # Ensure that redirects don't include the internal container PORT - 8080
limit_req_zone global zone=global_limit:128m rate=1r/s;
server {
listen {{port}};
# configuration endpoint
location / {
default_type application/json;
limit_req zone=global_limit burst=3; # rule of thumb: burst = rate * 3
limit_req_status 429;
proxy_pass https://localhost:4000;
}
}
}
What did you expect to happen?
Both the process should work.
What was the actual behavior?
Nodejs process was started and running, nginx process crashed with the error
2023-09-26T17:02:07.08+0530 [APP/PROC/WEB/0] ERR 2023/09/26 11:32:07 [emerg] 8#0: directive "resolver" is not terminated by ";" in /home/vcap/app/./nginx.conf:10

Alternatively used the Procfile
web: nginx -p /home/vcap/app -c ./nginx.conf
worker: node server.js
We got the same error.
If we comment the resolver and listen port in the nginx.conf, that both process will be running but it is quite obvious it will not solve our purpose.
