load balancing trial

sirfpsycho

Hello, I want to test load balancing plugin because I don't know it will work for my streaming server or not. If it works fine then I will use it. Please help.

Hello, if you are using the http protocol, you can use it.

sirfpsycho

aaPanel_Kern I am using live streaming from SRS and nginx proxy. That is why I want trial so that I can check it works or not. You don't have any premium support for paid users that is why I have doubt that If I buy and it does not work then you will not support to setup and my money will be lost.

Hello, our load balancing is configured using nginx development, you can use nginx for testing.

sirfpsycho

aaPanel_Kern Hello, I have installed load balancer. I am using streaming so I think I have to add tcp loadbalancer right? If yes then can you please send me any tutorial to setup?
I have server 2, 3, 4
So, all server needs aapanel installed? and all server needs streaming setup? Or what?

aaPanel_Kern

sirfpsycho
Hello, which one uses srs and which one uses nginx, you need to plan by yourself
From the information you gave, nginx and load balancer are available in aapanel
Maybe you should plan and then consider how to deploy it better

sirfpsycho

aaPanel_Kern I have server 1,2,3,4
On server 1, I have installed SRS and aapnael. In aapanel I have installed nginx, php7.4 and load balancer.

Now I want to use server 2,3,4 as a load balance. So on server 2,3,4 do I need to setup SRS streaming too? aapanel and nginx too?

aaPanel_Kern

sirfpsycho
Hello, from my understanding, 234 needs to set up SRS, no need for nginx, as for aapanel, see if you need web to manage your server
Server 1 needs aapanel, nginx, load balancer, SRS
The settings in the load balancer in server 1 configure all the 1234 SRSs.

aaPanel_Kern Hello, I have added. Please check screenshot

but it is not working. Can you please tell me what I did wrong?

aaPanel_Kern

sirfpsycho
Hello, try to change here, and the firewall should open the port in Bind port

sirfpsycho

aaPanel_Kern still not working.

Where is the port 8080, have you configured srs, can it be used without Load Balance?

sirfpsycho

aaPanel_Kern I have added nginx proxy and blocked port 8080 so that only hls can be played like this:
https://mydomain.com/live/livestream.m3u8

Before it was playing with both links.
http://mydomain.com:8080/live/livestream.m3u8

Edit: Actually I did not blocked 8080, I only removed allowed rule 8080 from sys firewall.

aaPanel_Kern

sirfpsycho
If you block 8080, then Load Balance cannot be accessed. Then you should write port 80

sirfpsycho

aaPanel_Kern I put 80 instead of 62 but it says already in use.

sirfpsycho

aaPanel_Kern I can allow 8080 for some IPs. Can you please tell me in details that in sys firewall which IP should I allow to access 8080? Only main server IP or all servers 1,2,3,4 IPs needed with 8080?

aaPanel_Kern

sirfpsycho
The port of nginx is 80
What is the port of srs? 8080?
62 is the Load Balance port you set
The user should access port 62 of Load Balance to port 80 of nginx and then port 8080
--> 62 --> 80 --> 8080
The above is what I understand from the information you gave

sirfpsycho

aaPanel_Kern so what should I set in sys firewall to work load balancer? currently load balancer is not working.

aaPanel_Kern

sirfpsycho
If you set port 62, port 62 should be open. If your srs is proxied by nginx, then you need to open port 80 (but it is already open by default). If Load Balance accesses your srs, it is port 8080? , then you need to open port 8080 on the srs server

sirfpsycho

aaPanel_Kern I enabled 8080 but still it is not working.
