I want to use Nginx with a socket.io app with TLS/SSL termination at the load balancer. Is it possible to use the ip_hash directive to do sticky loadbalancing in combination with TLS/SSL termination? My application only uses HTTPS.

I could not find any resource except this article which says sticky loadbalancing isn't applicable with TLS/SSL and I'm confused!

article quote:

IP Hash (available for HTTP only) is a predefined variant of the Hash method, in which the hash is based on the client’s IP address. You set it with the ip_hash directive.

  • Where does it says that? HTTP there means that it's not available for stream module

  • The ip_hash is solely used to make the requests "stick" agains the upstream server. Are you using nginx as the load balancer in front of other socket.io app servers?

  • @AlexeyTen this part: IP Hash (available for HTTP only) is a predefined variant of the Hash method, in which the hash is based on the client’s IP address. You set it with the ip_hash directive.
