# Exposing FastCGI Servers
|
|
|
|
> **FastCGI** is a [binary protocol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_protocol "Binary protocol") for interfacing interactive programs with a [web server](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_server "Web server"). [...] (It's) aim is to reduce the overhead related to interfacing between web server and CGI programs, allowing a server to handle more web page requests per unit of time.

The _ingress-nginx_ ingress controller can be used to directly expose [FastCGI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FastCGI) servers. Enabling FastCGI in your Ingress only requires setting the _backend-protocol_ annotation to `FCGI`, and with a couple more annotations you can customize the way _ingress-nginx_ handles the communication with your FastCGI _server_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Example Objects to Expose a FastCGI Pod
|
|
|
|
The _Pod_ example object below exposes port `9000`, which is the conventional FastCGI port.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
apiVersion: v1
|
|
kind: Pod
|
|
metadata:
|
|
name: example-app
|
|
labels:
|
|
app: example-app
|
|
spec:
|
|
containers:
|
|
- name: example-app
|
|
image: example-app:1.0
|
|
ports:
|
|
- containerPort: 9000
|
|
name: fastcgi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The _Service_ object example below matches port `9000` from the _Pod_ object above.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
apiVersion: v1
|
|
kind: Service
|
|
metadata:
|
|
name: example-service
|
|
spec:
|
|
selector:
|
|
app: example-app
|
|
ports:
|
|
- port: 9000
|
|
targetPort: 9000
|
|
name: fastcgi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And the _Ingress_ and _ConfigMap_ objects below demonstrates the supported _FastCGI_ specific annotations (NGINX actually has 50 FastCGI directives, all of which have not been exposed in the ingress yet), and matches the service `example-service`, and the port named `fastcgi` from above. The _ConfigMap_ **must** be created first for the _Ingress Controller_ to be able to find it when the _Ingress_ object is created, otherwise you will need to restart the _Ingress Controller_ pods.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# The ConfigMap MUST be created first for the ingress controller to be able to
|
|
# find it when the Ingress object is created.
|
|
|
|
apiVersion: v1
|
|
kind: ConfigMap
|
|
metadata:
|
|
name: example-cm
|
|
data:
|
|
SCRIPT_FILENAME: "/example/index.php"
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
|
|
kind: Ingress
|
|
metadata:
|
|
annotations:
|
|
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocol: "FCGI"
|
|
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/fastcgi-index: "index.php"
|
|
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/fastcgi-params-configmap: "example-cm"
|
|
name: example-app
|
|
spec:
|
|
ingressClassName: nginx
|
|
rules:
|
|
- host: app.example.com
|
|
http:
|
|
paths:
|
|
- path: /
|
|
pathType: Prefix
|
|
backend:
|
|
service:
|
|
name: example-service
|
|
port:
|
|
name: fastcgi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## FastCGI Ingress Annotations
|
|
|
|
To enable FastCGI, the `nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocol` annotation needs to be set to `FCGI`, which overrides the default `HTTP` value.
|
|
|
|
> `nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocol: "FCGI"`
|
|
|
|
**This enables the _FastCGI_ mode for all paths defined in the _Ingress_ object**
|
|
|
|
### The `nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/fastcgi-index` Annotation
|
|
|
|
To specify an index file, the `fastcgi-index` annotation value can optionally be set. In the example below, the value is set to `index.php`. This annotation corresponds to [the _NGINX_ `fastcgi_index` directive](https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_fastcgi_module.html#fastcgi_index).
|
|
|
|
> `nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/fastcgi-index: "index.php"`
|
|
|
|
### The `nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/fastcgi-params-configmap` Annotation
|
|
|
|
To specify [_NGINX_ `fastcgi_param` directives](https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_fastcgi_module.html#fastcgi_param), the `fastcgi-params-configmap` annotation is used, which in turn must lead to a _ConfigMap_ object containing the _NGINX_ `fastcgi_param` directives as key/values.
|
|
|
|
> `nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/fastcgi-params-configmap: "example-configmap"`
|
|
|
|
And the _ConfigMap_ object to specify the `SCRIPT_FILENAME` and `HTTP_PROXY` _NGINX's_ `fastcgi_param` directives will look like the following:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
apiVersion: v1
|
|
kind: ConfigMap
|
|
metadata:
|
|
name: example-configmap
|
|
data:
|
|
SCRIPT_FILENAME: "/example/index.php"
|
|
HTTP_PROXY: ""
|
|
```
|
|
Using the _namespace/_ prefix is also supported, for example:
|
|
|
|
> `nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/fastcgi-params-configmap: "example-namespace/example-configmap"`
|
