Use Cases
- Custom Timeouts: Set custom proxy read/write timeouts.
- Rate Limiting: Configure request rate limiting at the ingress level.
- Custom Headers: Add or modify HTTP headers in the nginx configuration.
- Buffering: Adjust proxy buffering settings for specific workloads.
Setting Parameters
The value should be a comma-separated list of key=value pairs. It can be provided as plain text or base64-encoded:
$ convox rack params set nginx_additional_config=proxy-read-timeout=300,proxy-send-timeout=300 -r rackName
Setting parameters... OK
Additional Information
The configuration pairs are merged into the nginx ConfigMap. Refer to the nginx ingress controller documentation for available configuration options.
