[Dancer-users] Problems mounting multiple webapps

[Alex Kalderimis]

thanks for the suggestions Brian. 

I have been using Apache reverse proxy very happily for single apps, and have a plugin for handling the header munging. For single apps, reverse proxy is a great solution. We have a public facing app deployed in that manner.

What I'm trying to do here is a bit different. The aim is to run multiple instances of the same code with different properties without having to launch each one separately or tie a certain I instance to a specific port. The objective is managing them as a group, so group restarts and upgrades, and making it easy to add extra apps. Also, I'd prefer just the one starman instance in this case.

On a more fundamental level, the docs should provide accurate u formation, so at the very least the section that suggests a mechanism for multiple side-by-side apps was in need of a test and an update. 
Alex.

Hi Alex,

I've had luck running my app under nginx reverse proxy.  I get nginx
to serve the static content directly so my app only handles the
dynamic stuff.  It was pretty easy to set up and it might simplify
your configuration.  The only tricks are adding settings to nginx to
forward the original Host, user ip, and scheme (to tell https vs
http).
