[@mechanical-bean]

while Nginx provides full web server, HA proxy is only a proxy, and you go with HA proxy. So my question is that do we need a full web server in front of our backend?

[@kerolloz]

What about another version of the video where you use ngnix instead

[@hnasr]

Kerollos Magdy you read my mind! Coming next week

[@JulianBG]

@Hussein Nasser At the end of the video you had to stop and start the docker-compose in order to add a new nodeapp4, but doesn't that defeat the purpose? First issue is that you have to stop all instances (nodeapp* and the lb) instead of doing that dynamically and also adding a new nodeapp will run on the same physical machine, right?

[@hnasr]

Julian Lishev thanks Julian you make valid points. Two in facts. How do you update the configuration without down time and how do you split the containers on multiple physical machines. I will have to do some research and get back to you on the first one and make a video on it. The second one is probably we need a container orchestrator like k8 or docker swarm. Good points

[@hanzladev]

@@hnasr brother did you created any video regarding this update?

[@basselturky4027]

You need to close haprocy folder ( click the arrow ) then create a new file, it will be created in the root. I might be late but I'm helping : ) ,and thank you for all your efforts and the stuff you taught us.

[@rinodipaola761]

Hi, I'd like to ask you a question. If I have two microservices, how can I run them at the same port but in different paths? For example I want to config a microservice with the path localhost/microservice1/... and another microservice with the path localhost/microservice2/... Should I use an API Gateway? I have some difficulties to do this. Thanks.

[@EhSUN37]

I believe you can config it in nginx

I thought I was doing something wrong but I cloned the whole Javascript playground and directly from git bash terminal went on the microservices docker build etc and the error is the same for haproxy. can not find the config file. The whole docker and redis community is a cancer to the society

[@patrickmojica6558]

I'm Having the same problem I think: lb_1 | [ALERT] (1) : config : Cannot open configuration file/directory /usr/local/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg : No such file or directory nodeapp1_1 | /bin/sh: 1: run: not found nodeapp2_1 | /bin/sh: 1: run: not found

[@danuzonez]

One Video on recommendation system please.

[@headlinerbeats]

Enjoyable video, thank you. I thought microservice architectur requires some sort of API Gateway to redirect requests? Is running the same app in multiple containers really considered a microservice, or is this just plain dockerizing a basic node app? Cheers

[@EhSUN37]

its micro services in the same server( inside docker composer instance which is running on your server). when you separate each apps and dbs etc into different machines you would need APIs to call them instead of communicating in your localhost you would communicate withing your network

[@jassersaanoun9493]

correct me if i'm wrong. i think this is not microservices, microservices have a proxy and a registry and a load balancer to select the service required for an incoming request (payment, users...) which are not the same, every service has it's own logic and maybe his own database, whereas this is just duplicating the same service to multiple containers that it would scale

[@hnasr]

jasser saanoun thanks for your message. This is the simplest minimum basic building block of microservices. The proxies, sidecar pattern, security control plane, service discovery etc are additions to microservices architecture to make it actually manageable and maintainable and the final piece to add is kubernetes to manage all those containers.

[@evans8245]

jasser & nasser - make friendship now !

[@vivsh.1999]

This video is for only load balancers not specifically for microservices. Can you make a video with microservices having different logic instead of just duplicating the same image?

[@EhSUN37]

the only difference would be how your API calls different services. you can run redis , postgres etc in the docer-composer and your apps will call them when needed. use only one app if you want and eliminate the load balancer

[@JoãoSantos-r8b]

thanks my dude

[@alxx736]

What if each microservice is in separarte repos ? Do i need to have a docker compose on each repo ? Do i need to pull each microservice and run docker compose on each one ?

Thanks Hussain ('shukran') one more Good video !! Quick question, How do you specify in docker-compose.yml an External MongoDB server Name (for an application which runs in container & trying to access?), would be very helpful (I believe it has something to do with docker network type of the docker container , since the DNS server inside Docker it is not aware of the external server (also directly editing /etc/hosts through edit command seems to be bit 'ugly' while starting container/ deployments), ANY Quick HELP greatly Appreciated

[@tharunrocky14]

Are there performance differences between -> running haproxy/nginx as a docker container vs -> running them directly on the host ? In terms of both processing performance & network performance. thanks Hussein, amazing content! Binge watching them all! Keep going.

[@hnasr]

The Scientist none that I am aware of, if the container is assigned adequate memory/cpu it should be just as if running directly on the host. That being said it I am assuming the container daemon is running directly on the host not on a VM.

[@noahwilliams8918]

Hussein Nasser You’re welcome! Here is the source for that: docs.docker.com/compose/faq/ YAML is a superset of JSON so (theoretically) any valid JSON is also valid YAML. I bet a lot of other applications support it but just don’t advertise it too!

Yuxiang Zhang hello , it is the same concept just update the config to point to the right host. Of course you will need to orchestrate those hosts and containers if they got out of control
