Custom Nginx Load Balancer

This custom nginx container is designed to act as a load balancer for the a11y-proxy service in your Docker Compose deployment. The container is built on top of the official nginx image and includes a custom nginx.conf configuration file.

Features

• Load balances traffic between multiple instances of the a11y-proxy service
• Uses the least connection algorithm for load balancing
• Listens on port 80 for incoming requests

Usage

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Files

Ensure that you have the following files in your project directory:

• Dockerfile: Custom Dockerfile for building the nginx container
• nginx.conf: Custom nginx configuration file

Configuration

The nginx.conf configuration file is embedded in the custom nginx container. To modify the load balancer configuration, edit the nginx.conf file and rebuild the container using the docker-compose up --build command.
