Proxy configuration

load-balance

Sets the algorithm to use for load balancing. The value can either be:

  • round_robin: to use the default round robin loadbalancer
  • least_conn: to use the least connected method
  • ip_hash: to use a hash of the server for routing.

The default is least_conn.

References:

proxy-body-size

Sets the maximum allowed size of the client request body. See NGINX client_max_body_size.

proxy-buffer-size

Sets the size of the buffer used for reading the first part of the response received from the proxied server. This part usually contains a small response header.

proxy-connect-timeout

Sets the timeout for establishing a connection with a proxied server. It should be noted that this timeout cannot usually exceed 75 seconds.

proxy-cookie-domain

Sets a text that should be changed in the domain attribute of the “Set-Cookie” header fields of a proxied server response.

proxy-cookie-path

Sets a text that should be changed in the path attribute of the “Set-Cookie” header fields of a proxied server response.

proxy-next-upstream

Specifies in which cases a request should be passed to the next server.

proxy-read-timeout

Sets the timeout in seconds for reading a response from the proxied server. The timeout is set only between two successive read operations, not for the transmission of the whole response.

proxy-send-timeout

Sets the timeout in seconds for transmitting a request to the proxied server. The timeout is set only between two successive write operations, not for the transmission of the whole request.

proxy-request-buffering

Enables or disables buffering of a client request body.

custom-http-errors

Enables which HTTP codes should be passed for processing with the error_page directive. Setting at least one code also enables proxy_intercept_errors which are required to process error_page.

Example usage: custom-http-errors: 404,415

enable-modsecurity

Enables the modsecurity module for NGINX By default this is disabled.

enable-owasp-modsecurity-crs

Eenables the OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set (CRS) By default this is disabled.

disable-ipv6

Disable listening on IPV6. By default this is disabled.

enable-dynamic-tls-records

Enables dynamically sized TLS records to improve time-to-first-byte. By default this is enabled. See CloudFlare's blog for more information.

enable-underscores-in-headers

Enables underscores in header names. By default this is disabled.

enable-vts-status

Allows the replacement of the default status page with a third party module named nginx-module-vts. By default this is disabled.

gzip-types

Sets the MIME types in addition to "text/html" to compress. The special value "*" matches any MIME type. Responses with the "text/html" type are always compressed if use-gzip is enabled.

hsts

Enables or disables the header HSTS in servers running SSL. HTTP Strict Transport Security (often abbreviated as HSTS) is a security feature (HTTP header) that tell browsers that it should only be communicated with using HTTPS, instead of using HTTP. It provides protection against protocol downgrade attacks and cookie theft.

References:

hsts-include-subdomains

Enables or disables the use of HSTS in all the subdomains of the server-name.

hsts-max-age

Sets the time, in seconds, that the browser should remember that this site is only to be accessed using HTTPS.

hsts-preload

Enables or disables the preload attribute in the HSTS feature (when it is enabled)

ignore-invalid-headers

Set if header fields with invalid names should be ignored. By default this is enabled.

keep-alive

Sets the time during which a keep-alive client connection will stay open on the server side. The zero value disables keep-alive client connections.

References:

max-worker-connections

Sets the maximum number of simultaneous connections that can be opened by each worker process

retry-non-idempotent

Since 1.9.13 NGINX will not retry non-idempotent requests (POST, LOCK, PATCH) in case of an error in the upstream server. The previous behavior can be restored using the value "true".

server-name-hash-bucket-size

Sets the size of the bucket for the server names hash tables.

References:

server-name-hash-max-size

Sets the maximum size of the server names hash tables used in server names,map directive’s values, MIME types, names of request header strings, etc.

References:

proxy-headers-hash-bucket-size

Sets the size of the bucket for the proxy headers hash tables.

References:

proxy-headers-hash-max-size

Sets the maximum size of the proxy headers hash tables.

References:

server-tokens

Send NGINX Server header in responses and display NGINX version in error pages. By default this is enabled.

map-hash-bucket-size

Sets the bucket size for the map variables hash tables. The details of setting up hash tables are provided in a separate document.

ssl-buffer-size

Sets the size of the SSL buffer used for sending data. The default of 4k helps NGINX to improve TLS Time To First Byte (TTTFB). https://www.igvita.com/2013/12/16/optimizing-nginx-tls-time-to-first-byte/

ssl-ciphers

Sets the ciphers list to enable. The ciphers are specified in the format understood by the OpenSSL library.

The default cipher list is: ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256.

The ordering of a ciphersuite is very important because it decides which algorithms are going to be selected in priority. The recommendation above prioritizes algorithms that provide perfect forward secrecy.

Please check the Mozilla SSL Configuration Generator.

ssl-dh-param

Sets the name of the secret that contains Diffie-Hellman key to help with "Perfect Forward Secrecy".

References:

ssl-protocols

Sets the SSL protocols to use. The default is: TLSv1.2.

Please check the result of the configuration using https://ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html or https://testssl.sh.

ssl-session-tickets

Enables or disables session resumption through TLS session tickets.

ssl-session-ticket-key

Sets the secret key used to encrypt and decrypt TLS session tickets. The value must be a valid base64 string. http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssl_module.html#ssl_session_tickets By default, a randomly generated key is used.

To create a ticket: openssl rand 80 | base64 -w0

ssl-session-timeout

Sets the time during which a client may reuse the session parameters stored in a cache.

upstream-max-fails

Sets the number of unsuccessful attempts to communicate with the server that should happen in the duration set by the fail_timeout parameter to consider the server unavailable.

upstream-fail-timeout

Sets the time during which the specified number of unsuccessful attempts to communicate with the server should happen to consider the server unavailable.

use-gzip

Enables or disables compression of HTTP responses using the "gzip" module.

The default mime type list to compress is: application/atom+xml application/javascript aplication/x-javascript application/json application/rss+xml application/vnd.ms-fontobject application/x-font-ttf application/x-web-app-manifest+json application/xhtml+xml application/xml font/opentype image/svg+xml image/x-icon text/css text/plain text/x-component.

use-proxy-protocol

Enables or disables the PROXY protocol to receive client connection (real IP address) information passed through proxy servers and load balancers such as HAProxy and Amazon Elastic Load Balancer (ELB).

whitelist-source-range

Sets the default whitelisted IPs for each server block. This can be overwritten by an annotation on an Ingress rule. See ngx_http_access_module.

worker-processes

Sets the number of worker processes. The default of "auto" means number of available CPU cores.

worker-shutdown-timeout

Sets a timeout for Nginx to wait for worker to gracefully shutdown. The default is "10s".

proxy-set-headers

Sets custom headers from a configmap before sending traffic to backends. See example

add-headers

Sets custom headers from a configmap before sending traffic to the client. See proxy-set-headers example

bind-address

Sets the addresses on which the server will accept requests instead of *. It should be noted that these addresses must exist in the runtime environment or the controller will crash loop.

Adds custom configuration to the http section of the nginx configuration Default: ""

server-snippet

Adds custom configuration to all the servers in the nginx configuration Default: ""

location-snippet

Adds custom configuration to all the locations in the nginx configuration Default: ""
