nginx_stage app

This command will generate a web application NGINX configuration file and subsequently restart the NGINX process as the user.

sudo nginx_stage app [OPTIONS]

Required Options

-u <user>, --user <user>

The user of the per-user NGINX process.

-r <sub_request>, --sub-request <sub_request>

The request URI path beneath the sub-URI path.

General Options

-i <sub_uri>, --sub-uri <sub_uri>

The sub-URI path in the request.

-N, --skip-nginx

Skip execution of the per-user NGINX process.

Note

The sub-URI corresponds to any reverse proxy namespace that denotes the request should be proxied to the per-user NGINX server (e.g., /pun)

Examples

To generate an app config from the request:

http://ondemand.center.edu/pun/usr/jim/myapp/session/1

and subsequently restart the per-user NGINX process:

sudo nginx_stage app --user 'bob' --sub-uri '/pun' --sub-request '/usr/jim/myapp/session/1'

To generate only the app config:

sudo nginx_stage app --user 'bob' --sub-uri '/pun' --sub-request '/sys/dashboard' --skip-nginx

This will return the path to the app config and will not restart the NGINX process.
