The 0.38.0 migration documents `proxy:set <app> type <value>` as the canonical way to set the proxy implementation, but several user-facing examples still taught the legacy implicit form. Switch every example over to the explicit property syntax so the docs match the migration guide and other property-based plugin commands.

# OpenResty Proxy
|
|
|
|
> [!IMPORTANT]
|
|
> New as of 0.31.0
|
|
|
|
Dokku can provide integration with the [OpenResty](https://openresty.org/) proxy service by utilizing the Docker label-based integration implemented by [openresty-docker-proxy](https://github.com/dokku/openresty-docker-proxy).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
openresty:report [<app>] [<flag>] # Displays a openresty report for one or more apps
|
|
openresty:logs [--num num] [--tail] # Display openresty log output
|
|
openresty:set <app> <property> (<value>) # Set or clear an openresty property for an app
|
|
openresty:show-config <app> # Display openresty compose config
|
|
openresty:start # Starts the openresty server
|
|
openresty:stop # Stops the openresty server
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
Using the `openresty` plugin integration requires the `docker-compose-plugin` for Docker. See [this document](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) from the Docker documentation for more information on the installation process for the `docker-compose-plugin`.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
> [!WARNING]
|
|
> As using multiple proxy plugins on a single Dokku installation can lead to issues routing requests to apps, doing so should be avoided. As the default proxy implementation is nginx, users are encouraged to stop the nginx service before switching to OpenResty.
|
|
|
|
The OpenResty plugin has specific rules for routing requests:
|
|
|
|
- OpenResty integration is exposed via docker labels attached to containers. Changes in labels require either app deploys or rebuilds.
|
|
- While OpenResty will respect labels associated with other containers, only `web` containers have OpenResty labels injected by the plugin.
|
|
- Only `http:80` and `https:443` port mappings are supported at this time.
|
|
- Requests are routed as soon as the container is running and passing healthchecks.
|
|
|
|
### Switching to OpenResty
|
|
|
|
To use the OpenResty plugin, use the `proxy:set` command for the app in question:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
dokku proxy:set node-js-app type openresty
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will enable the docker label-based OpenResty integration. All future deploys will inject the correct labels for OpenResty to read and route requests to containers. Due to the docker label-based integration used by OpenResty, a single deploy or rebuild will be required before requests will route successfully.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
dokku ps:rebuild node-js-app
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Any changes to domains or port mappings will also require either a deploy or rebuild.
|
|
|
|
### Starting OpenResty container
|
|
|
|
OpenResty can be started via the `openresty:start` command. This will start a OpenResty container via the `docker compose up` command.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
dokku openresty:start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Stopping the OpenResty container
|
|
|
|
OpenResty may be stopped via the `openresty:stop` command.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
dokku openresty:stop
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The OpenResty container will be stopped and removed from the system. If the container is not running, this command will do nothing.
|
|
|
|
### Showing the OpenResty compose config
|
|
|
|
For debugging purposes, it may be useful to show the OpenResty compose config. This can be achieved via the `openresty:show-config` command.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
dokku openresty:show-config
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Customizing the OpenResty container image
|
|
|
|
While the default OpenResty image is hardcoded, users may specify an alternative by setting the `image` property with the `--global` flag:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
dokku openresty:set --global image dokku/openresty-docker-proxy:0.5.6
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Checking the OpenResty container's logs
|
|
|
|
It may be necessary to check the OpenResty container's logs to ensure that OpenResty is operating as expected. This can be performed with the `openresty:logs` command.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
dokku openresty:logs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command also supports the following modifiers:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
--num NUM # the number of lines to display
|
|
--tail # continually stream logs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can use these modifiers as follows:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
dokku openresty:logs --tail --num 10
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The above command will show logs continually from the openresty container, with an initial history of 10 log lines
|
|
|
|
### Customizing Openresty Settings for an app
|
|
|
|
#### OpenResty Properties
|
|
|
|
The OpenResty plugin supports all properties supported by the `nginx:set` command via `openresty:set`. At this time, please consult the nginx documentation for more information on what properties are available.
|
|
|
|
Please note that the oldest running container will be used for OpenResty configuration, and thus newer config may not apply until older app containers are retired during/after a deploy, depending on your zero-downtime settings.
|
|
|
|
#### Custom OpenResty Templates
|
|
|
|
At this time, the OpenResty plugin does not allow complete customization of the template used to manage an app's vhost. Apps will use a template provided by the OpenResty container to proxy requests. See the next section for documentation on how to configure portions of the template.
|
|
|
|
#### Injecting custom snippets into the OpenResty config
|
|
|
|
The OpenResty plugin allows users to specify templates in their repository for auto-injection into the OpenResty config. Please note that this configuration should be validated prior to deployment or may cause outages in your OpenResty proxy layer.
|
|
|
|
The following folders within an app repository may have `*.conf` files that will be automatically injected into the OpenResty config.
|
|
|
|
- `openresty/http-includes/`: Injected in the `server` block serving http(s) requests for the app.
|
|
- `openresty/http-location-includes/`: Injected in the `location` block that proxies to the app in the app's respective `server` block.
|
|
|
|
### Label Management
|
|
|
|
The OpenResty plugin allows you to add custom container labels to apps. These labels are injected into containers during deployment and can be used to configure OpenResty behavior beyond what the plugin provides by default.
|
|
|
|
Refer to the upstream [openresty-docker-proxy](https://github.com/dokku/openresty-docker-proxy) documentation for more information on what labels are available.
|
|
|
|
#### Adding a label
|
|
|
|
To add a custom container label to an app, use the `openresty:labels:add` command:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
dokku openresty:labels:add node-js-app openresty.directive value
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will add the label `openresty.directive=value` to the app's containers. After adding a label, you will need to rebuild or redeploy the app for the label to be applied to running containers.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
dokku ps:rebuild node-js-app
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Removing a label
|
|
|
|
To remove a custom container label from an app, use the `openresty:labels:remove` command:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
dokku openresty:labels:remove node-js-app openresty.directive
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will remove the specified label from the app. After removing a label, you will need to rebuild or redeploy the app for the change to be applied to running containers.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
dokku ps:rebuild node-js-app
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Showing labels
|
|
|
|
To view all custom container labels for an app, use the `openresty:labels:show` command:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
dokku openresty:labels:show node-js-app
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To view a specific label value, provide the label name:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
dokku openresty:labels:show node-js-app openresty.directive
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### SSL Configuration
|
|
|
|
The OpenResty plugin only supports automatic ssl certificates from it's letsencrypt integration. Managed certificates provided by the `certs` plugin are ignored.
|
|
|
|
#### Enabling letsencrypt integration
|
|
|
|
By default, letsencrypt is disabled and https port mappings are ignored. To enable, set the `letsencrypt-email` property with the `--global` flag:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
dokku openresty:set --global letsencrypt-email automated@dokku.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After enabling, the OpenResty container will need to be restarted and apps will need to be rebuilt. All http requests will then be redirected to https.
|
|
|
|
#### Customizing the letsencrypt server
|
|
|
|
The letsencrypt integration is set to the production letsencrypt server by default. To change this, set the `letsencrypt-server` property with the `--global` flag:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
dokku openresty:set --global letsencrypt-server https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After enabling, the OpenResty container will need to be restarted and apps will need to be rebuilt to retrieve certificates from the new server.
|
|
|
|
#### Limiting letsencrypt to certain domains
|
|
|
|
> [!WARNING]
|
|
> Changing this value may cause OpenResty to fail to start if the value is not valid. Caution should be exercised when changing this value from the defaults.
|
|
|
|
In cases where your server's IP may have invalid domains pointing at it, limiting letsencrypt to certain allowed domains may be desirable to reduce spam requests on the Letsencrypt servers. The default is to allow all domains to have certificates retrieved, but this can be limited by specifying the `allowed-letsencrypt-domains-func-base64` global property.
|
|
|
|
The default internal value for `allowed-letsencrypt-domains-func-base64` is the base64 representation of `return true`, and is meant to be the body of a lua function that return a boolean value.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
value="$(echo 'return true' | base64 -w 0)"
|
|
dokku openresty:set --global allowed-letsencrypt-domains-func-base64 $value
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
As this is a global value, once changed, OpenResty should be stopped and started again for the value to take effect:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
dokku openresty:stop
|
|
dokku openresty:start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A more complex example would be to limit provisioning of certificates to domains in a specific list. The body of the lua function has access to a variable `domain`, and we can use it like so:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
body='allowed_domains = {"domain.com", "extra-domain.com"}
|
|
|
|
for index, value in ipairs(allowed_domains) do
|
|
if value == domain then
|
|
return true
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
return false
|
|
'
|
|
value="$(echo "$body" | base64 -w 0)"
|
|
dokku openresty:set --global allowed-letsencrypt-domains-func-base64 $value
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To reset the value to the default, simply specify a blank value prior to restarting OpenResty:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
dokku openresty:set --global allowed-letsencrypt-domains-func-base64
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Displaying OpenResty reports for an app
|
|
|
|
You can get a report about the app's OpenResty config using the `openresty:report` command:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
dokku openresty:report
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
=====> node-js-app openresty information
|
|
Openresty image: dokku/openresty-docker-proxy:0.5.6
|
|
Openresty letsencrypt email: automated@dokku.sh
|
|
=====> python-app openresty information
|
|
Openresty image: dokku/openresty-docker-proxy:0.5.6
|
|
Openresty letsencrypt email: automated@dokku.sh
|
|
=====> ruby-app openresty information
|
|
Openresty image: dokku/openresty-docker-proxy:0.5.6
|
|
Openresty letsencrypt email: automated@dokku.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can run the command for a specific app also.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
dokku openresty:report node-js-app
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
=====> node-js-app openresty information
|
|
Openresty image: dokku/openresty-docker-proxy:0.5.6
|
|
Openresty letsencrypt email: automated@dokku.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can pass flags which will output only the value of the specific information you want. For example:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
dokku openresty:report node-js-app --openresty-letsencrypt-email
|
|
```
|
