# Nginx Proxy for Mixpanel
An example nginx config that serves as a proxy to Mixpanel's Ingestion API and JavaScript library endpoints. To learn more, visit our [docs on Tracking via Proxy](https://docs.mixpanel.com/docs/tracking/how-tos/tracking-via-proxy).


## Installation

There are a few ways you can use this repo to deploy a server that can be use to proxy Mixpanel API requests: one-click deploy to cloud, build a docker image, or copy and paste the nginx settings to your own nginx config file.

1. **one-click deploy** to your cloud provider
2. **build a docker image** and run it on your own servers
3. **copy and paste** the nginx settings to your existing nginx config file

### Option 1: One-Click Deploy

### Option 1: One-click Deploy
- [Run on Google Cloud](https://deploy.cloud.run)
- [Deploy to DigitalOcean](https://cloud.digitalocean.com/apps/new?repo=https://github.com/mixpanel/tracking-proxy/tree/master)

### Option 2: Docker Image
Assuming you have Docker installed on your system, you can do the following:

1. Clone the repo
2. Build the Docker image: `docker build -t mixpanel-proxy .`
3. Run a container using the image: `docker run --name my-tracking-proxy -d -p 8080:80 mixpanel-proxy`
4. Visit `http://localhost:8080`
1. Clone the repo
`git clone https://github.com/mixpanel/tracking-proxy`
2. Build the Docker image:
`docker build -t mixpanel-proxy .`
3. Run a container using the image:
`docker run --name my-tracking-proxy -d -p 8080:80 mixpanel-proxy`
4. Visit
`http://localhost:8080`

You should see:

```json
{
"error": "Welcome. Get started with our API by visiting https://developer.mixpanel.com/"
}
```
This is same response you would get from visiting https://api.mixpanel.com/ (which means your proxy is working as expected).

You can also verify the nginx config on the command line:

```bash
nginx -t -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
```

For production, you would deploy this docker image to whatever servers you run your production services on.

### Option 3: Add locations to your existing Nginx config
If you already have servers running nginx, you can copy and paste the locations from the [nginx.conf](https://github.com/mixpanel/tracking-proxy/blob/master/nginx.conf) file in this repo and adjust the locations to match your preference.

### EU Residency
This proxy server resolves requests to `api.mixpanel.com`, which points to Mixpanel's primary data centers in the United States. If you are using Mixpanel's **[EU Data Residency](https://docs.mixpanel.com/docs/other-bits/privacy-and-security/eu-residency)**, you will need to change the [nginx.config](https://github.com/mixpanel/tracking-proxy/blob/master/nginx.conf#L34) from `api.mixpanel.com` to `api-eu.mixpanel.com`

### Load Testing

If you wish to load test your proxy, see **[mp-proxy-load-test](https://github.com/ak--47/mp-proxy-load-test/)** for a load testing script with artillery.
