Backporting Apache support for websockets reverse proxy (aka getting GateOne to work behind Apache) - Merlyn

Merlyn — Fri, 17 May 2013 18:27:07 +0200

Yup, works. But I wanted to try to ssl proxy gdk's Broadway backend websockets. Its working on my setup. I hunted for a few days looking. I do have one small problem were broadwayd gets hung up on orphaned connections. I have version 2.2.15 of apache I took the patch an applied it to the 2.2.24 base, complied the proxy modules only, and installed them, I'll upgrade httpd in a few days, but for now I'm fine. Here are the lines I needed in ssl.conf

<Location /socket>
ProxyPass ws://127.0.0.1:8080/socket
ProxyPassReverse ws://127.0.0.1:8080/socket
</Location>

<Location /socket-bin>
ProxyPass ws://127.0.0.1:8080/socket-bin
ProxyPassReverse ws://127.0.0.1:8080/socket-bin
</Location>

for now I have the broadway.js in my doc root.

HTH

Good question! As this new module mostly adds support for "ws://" and "wss://" protocols in mod_proxy, it should work transparently with its load balancer part (mod_proxy_balancer module).

For a from-scratch setup though, nginx looks like a better solution as it supports websockets for some time and has known working examples for load balancing. haproxy should do the trick too

Hi Voyageur

Do you have any idea if this reverse proxy will also support load balancing the WebSocket connections?
Basically we will have no of users connecting to our WebSockets application and we would like to distribute the load over multiple WebSocket Server at backend.

Thanks

Nice, I'll update the post with this! From my comments in the current ebuild, looks like I had found about the same list of "problematic" bundles too:

# -Duse_system_sqlite=1 : http://crbug.com/22208
# Others still bundled: icu (not possible?), hunspell (changes required for sandbox support)

I did manage to miss the one page in the wiki that was referering to Gentoo though, I'll fix that asap

Indeed, we concur on most of the points he listed! But luckily this won't go up to a clash, recently things got better (beta release effect?) and their distribs support metabug now lists most of the current problems (with most of the corresponding bug reports opened in the last 10 days). And with the title "Metabug for issues related to making a real release for Linux distros", that's one bug I'll really like to see closed

The rant by that Fedora-packager really hit the spot, I'm guessing you're pretty much pushing the same stuff as he is? He is pretty much right about everything there, too bad google doesn't seem to acknowledge his claims even though they are obviously correct. Seems more and more likely that it sooner or later will be a clash between distro packagers and the chrome/chromium people about these things?

For video/audio tags, it uses ffmpeg (and luckily for us it has a build flag to use system one!)

glurps, you're talking about chromium-bin? Just rename the ebuild changing the _p number to get a newer version (25902 right now). If a big bug got fixed since 25708, please tell me and I'll update it in portage

Where can I find any version >=4.0.208.0_p25708 in the official tree, your overlay or bugzilla. Where can I find such an ebuild? Or should I just copy and rename an existing ebuild?

thx

Hope, it does html5 video and audio.
(if gstreamer is used, then hope it does not pull the gconf gnome stuff)

Right now the full /var/tmp/portage weighs 897MB after compile and install phase (and the bz2 tarball I'm playing with for tests is around 117MB)

So it's still big, but already much better than compilation from full svn checkout!

Will the Chromium build need 10 Gig of disk space like the full source version?

thanks for 4 working on chromium and for the hint, tried using nouveau and it work great^W. for me it was bug #19995, which was difficult to associate to 16800.

Yes, session shadowing itself works (i.e you can attach multiple times to a session you created before), but local session shadowing (sharing your desktop) does not work yet. Full list of what's working (or not) is on the main page: http://code.google.com/p/neatx/

This comment indicates it should be easily doable though: http://code.google.com/p/neatx/issues/detail?id=1#c10

Hi
I am glad to hear that there is a working ebuild for neatx. I want to ask if shadow sessions are supported - if i remmember somebody asked this a few days ago in some issue on the project site and the answer was NO at the moment.

about 12 hours ago I've installed neatx on Gentoo. I've spotted several bugs and decided to report it today... but

since yesterday there was two new revisions (18 and 19)! I guess there is potential if some party sees a money in remote desktops

I've updated freenx ebuild to use tarballs from the the debian freenx team, so now I can work on moving some of the X2go ebuilds to portage

If it's not done today, you can still of course fill bugreports on the overlay packages, noting in the title they're from the overlay (something like "[NX overlay] bug in ...").

Oh well in fact I've already started moving base client and server to portage, so "real soon" is really "real soon" now

Hi, I've got some problems downloading/compiling those packages.

So... when exactly does it mean "real soon"?

I promise to be one of firsts who test those ebuilds!
