What's in your opinion the best way to add another server not in the original .conf file (e.g. localhost:4444) without having downtime? It's enough to run an nginx reload (in this case is there a downtime if someone run a request?) or are there other advanced methods to do this thing? Thank you!

edit: I read now that running nginx -s reload do the trick. So if a process changes dinamically the conf file I think everything works without downtime, isn't it?

I got this error when tried to include my conf file in nginx.conf.
nginx: [emerg] "upstream" directive is not allowed here

Hi, thanks for a great tutorial. If I understand correctly, you are leveraging multiple worker processes, NOT multiple servers, correct? Port 1111, 2222, and 3333 are all on the same server.

[luqmansen]

Cool explanation. I surprised you didn't spin up your Nginx on the docker like you usually did
