Configure Nginx to be a TCP load balancer
The best way is compiling nginx from source to support stream directive:
./configure --prefix=/opt/nginx --sbin-path=/usr/sbin/nginx --conf-path=/opt/nginx/nginx.conf --pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid --lock-path=/var/run/nginx.lock --with-http_ssl_module --with-threads --with-stream --with-http_slice_modulemakesudo make install
Using Homebrew on OS X, this can be done with:
brew install nginx-full --with-streamThis might ask you to first install the homebrew-nginx tap, in which case you might have to run
brew install homebrew/nginx/nginx-full --with-streamto make sure that the tap gets installed first.
