Nginx : rate-limiting cannot be done in conf .nix?

Help
1

Hello

I would like to test Nginx limit_req feature. NGINX provides an example

limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=mylimit:10m rate=10r/s;

server {

    location /login/ {
        limit_req zone=mylimit;
        proxy_pass http://my_upstream;
    }
}

So I started with

services.nginx.virtualHosts.<name>.extraConfig

This one seems to works to define limit_req. Then I want to implement the other directive, in the http block, limit_req_zone . Then I am stuck :slight_smile:

I tried

appendConfig = " limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=mylimit:10m rate=10r/s; " ;

But then is added outside of http block. If I use httpConfig then (as warned by documentation) , VirtualHost directives are ignored.


      services.nginx = {
        enable = true;
	#httpConfig = " limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=mylimit:10m rate=10r/s; " ;
          virtualHosts = {
             "mydomain.online" = {
                 forceSSL = true;
                 enableACME = true;
                 root = "/var/www/mydomain.online";
		extraConfig = "limit_req zone=mylimit;";
          };

It seems I could use httpConfig but then the full nginx conf has to be “manual” and I need to renunce my current configuration.nix content regarding vhost… Did I understand properly?

Ok someone pointed to me services.nginx.appendHttpConfig - MyNixOS . Solved the issue.
