Hi all, this here are 2 questions, one out of curiosity and one about performance when having dashboard access behind an nginx reverse proxy. We follow instructions here: https://docs.ceph.com/en/pacific/mgr/dashboard/#proxy-configuration.
Question 2 about nginx: Is anyone using dashboard access via an nginx reverse proxy? My interpretation of the documentation is, that it will work (nginx handles the redirect response transparently) as long as the one MGR pointed to is up. However, I wonder how smart the handling of redirects is. Does nginx remember a redirected connection or will it go through the "ask configured host"->"receive redirect"->"ask redirection target" procedure for every single http(s) request, or will it remember the redirection for established connections? Question 1 out of curiosity: On octopus MGRs would return redirection URLs containing the FQDN of the host. Under pacific this does not work anymore. One can enable hostname resolution (https://docs.ceph.com/en/pacific/mgr/dashboard/#resolve-ip-address-to-hostname-before-redirect), however, this requires a reverse DNS lookup and is off by default. How did octopus do that? Was it reverse DNS lookup and it was just on by default? If not, why is the simple "use result of hostname -f" that does not require DNS not an option? Thanks for answers to either or both of these questions!
