I have a website:
xyz.com -> Standalone Angular4 APP (Container)
xyz.com/api/ -> Standalone Rails API APP (Container - ruby-2.4.0)
xyz.com/api/sidekiq -> Mounted to Rails api routes.
When I try to access the /api/sidekiq it loads the data but assets are still pointing to xyz.com/sidekiq instead of xyz.com/api/sidekiq. And all when I click retry it tries to submit to xyz.com/sidekiq instead of xyz.com/api/sidekiq. Is there a way to force sidekiq to use a different assets path and base url path?
Is there a way to get the sidekiq web view as a seperate standalone application container?
I am using Kubernetes as my orchestration tool. I am using Nginx Ingress to do path based routing. When I go to xyz.com/api/sidekiq it loads the data but the urls and assets point xyz.com/sidekiq which is why I cant retry a sidekiq job as the sidekiq web doesn't work.
You can have a look at the thread I raised with sidekiq team "Sidekiq Route Mount doesn't rewrite URL in Rails API" that helped me understand how sidekiq mount "/sidekiq" works.
I have a simple work around for this problem and found it to be the best way to resolve my path based routing issue. You can do this using nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target annotations in your Ingress configurations by writing 2 Ingress rules as shown below:
Routing the "/" path to the root path of the rails-app-service ( xyz.com/* -> rails-app-service/* )
Routing the "/sidekiq" path to the sidekiq web mount path of the rails-app-service ( xyz.com/sidekiq/* -> rails-app-service/sidekiq/* )
To know more about Nginx Ingress Controller rewrite target annotation check the official repository for details: https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/tree/master/docs/examples/rewrite#rewrite-target
This is my final code snippet with the solution:
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: "rails-app-ingress"
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: "false"
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /
spec:
rules:
- host: xyz.com
http:
paths:
- path: /
backend:
serviceName: "rails-app-service"
servicePort: 80
