This project serves as an example for server and client caching.
Ngx Blocker blocks bad bots from accessing the web resources.
Go Access is an Nginx log file analyser/reporter.
When running you can visit http://localhost:8080/goaccess and see the real time go access report.
Nginx is configured to serve as a reverse proxy to an upstream server called eight on port 8081.
Caching examples allow /document/downloads to be cached at the server for 3 minutes
The server does NOT cache requests to /.
The specified static extensions are passed to the client and hte client is asked to cache them for 5 minutes.
If you watch the logs of the reverse proxy and the backend server (eight) you will see that the backend will not be asked for files in the /document/downloads path for 3 minutes, once the initial visit is served.
Then images an scrips are cached at the client, as evidenced in the header Cache-Control: max-age=300.
