Nginx : Use Stream module2022/05/12

 
Configure Nginx to use Stream module.
It's possible to proxy TCP, UDP (Nginx 1.9.13 and later for UDP), UNIX-domain sockets requests.
This example is based on the environment like follows to proxy MariaDB requests to backend servers.

[1] Configure Nginx.
[root@www ~]#
dnf -y install nginx-mod-stream
[root@www ~]#
vi /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
# add to the end
# [weight=*] means balancing weight

stream {
    upstream mariadb-backend {
        server 10.0.0.51:3306 weight=2;
        server 10.0.0.52:3306;
    }
    server {
        listen 3306;
        proxy_pass mariadb-backend;
    }
}

[root@www ~]#
systemctl reload nginx

[2] If SELinux is enabled, change policy.
[root@www ~]#
setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect on

[root@www ~]#
setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect_db on

[root@www ~]#
vi nginx-stream.te
# create new

module nginx-stream 1.0;

require {
        type mysqld_port_t;
        type httpd_t;
        class tcp_socket name_bind;
}

#============= httpd_t ==============
allow httpd_t mysqld_port_t:tcp_socket name_bind;

[root@www ~]#
checkmodule -m -M -o nginx-stream.mod nginx-stream.te

[root@www ~]#
semodule_package --outfile nginx-stream.pp --module nginx-stream.mod

[root@www ~]#
semodule -i nginx-stream.pp

[3] Verify it works fine to access to frontend Nginx server from any client computer.
