Lucee Session Persistence / Clustering Proof-of-Concept

This allows for round-robin load balancing of Lucee applications.

Services:

• lucee: Dockerfile installs a Redis Lucee extension. The cache is configured in Application.cfc.
• redis (https://redis.io/)
• redis-commander (https://joeferner.github.io/redis-commander): A Redis browser, available at http://localhost:8081
• nginx-proxy (https://github.com/jwilder/nginx-proxy): Without a load-balancer in front of the Lucee app, my browser (Chrome on Mac) seems to stick to only one node if I hit Lucee directly (via http://localhost:8888). Maybe that's due to TCP connection reuse or something. Adding a reverse proxy in front of the Lucee cluster works around that issue.

Running Demo

Build Lucee Image

docker-compose build

Deploy Stack

eval docker-compose config 2>/dev/null | docker stack deploy -c- cluster

Try Demo

http://localhost:8999

Tear Down

docker stack rm cluster
