Modified mod_proxy_gluster supporting large files, ISO8601 times, and icons
in much the same manner as the normal mod_autoindex from Apache. This module
has been tested on both Apache 2.2 and 2.4.
mod_proxy and related modules implement a proxy/gateway for Apache HTTP
Server, supporting a number of popular protocols as well as several different
load balancing algorithms.
This module adds support for accessing Gluster Volumes without the need to
mount them with glusterfs-fuse or NFS. The purpose is to serve static contents.
Files are returned without passing through any interpreters.
mod_proxy_gluster is not intended to be used for storing web-applications
(written in languages like PHP).
mod_proxy and its configuration directives are explained in the Apache HTTP
Server documentation at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy.html.
See the mod_proxy_gluster.conf.example
file for configuration directives.
For allowing unpriviledged users (like a webserver) to access the Gluster Volumes, some preparations on the Gluster Storage Servers need to be taken care of:
-
Allow non-root users to connect to glusterd In
/etc/glusterfs/glusterd.voladd this option:option rpc-auth-allow-insecure onRestart the glusterd service after making this change.
-
Allow non-root users to connect to the bricks in the volume, the example below uses the volume called bigfiles
gluster volume set bigfiles server.allow-insecure onNote: Some versions of Gluster require the volume to be stopped and started after changing
server.allow-insecure. Gluster 3.6 and newer should not need that.
There are three ways to build this module:
-
Run
makeand copy the resulting.sofrom the.libs -
Manually run
apxs -c $(pkg-config glusterfs-api --cflags-only-I --libs-only-l) mod_proxy_gluster.cCopy the resulting
.sofile from the.libsbuild directory to the Apache modules directory
General Gluster questions should be directed to the Gluster Users mailing list gluster-users@gluster.org.
