Docker Compose Example of Redundancy and Failover with Nginx

The Nginx configurations described on the Redundancy and Failover with Nginx page can be used in Docker Compose to deploy an OPC router redundancy pair with failover.

The files used for this project can be found on the page HTTP(s) Failover Concepts for REST, OPC UA Servers, and Web Management in the OPC Router.

This example deals exclusively with the external reverse proxy for the server endpoints. The internal redundancy of the OPC Router must be configured separately for the primary and secondary services.
