This projects is an experimental port of Hipache to nginx using the Lua module.

The project only consists of configuration files for now but it will evolve into a ready-to-use scalable proxy solution.

1. Nginx requires the LUA module: installation instructions
2. You have to install the lua-redis client.

For now Hipache-hchecker is not working because Radix has removed pubsub support.

Because of this I have changed the way Hipache-Nginx dealed with dead backends, instead of announcing it they are marked as dead until a better solution is implemented.

Keep in mind that until better solution is found dead backends will not be marked as alive again.

• emulate proxy_next_upstream behaviour in lua using location.capture
• statistics panel
• test websockets support
• better health-check handling
