question: nginx does not load balance

Sorry, I'd accidentally left comments disabled while dealing with a spam problem.

To diagnose your issue, I'd try two things

• first, check the generated nginx.conf - did confd manage to write a configuration with your apache containers referenced in it?
• if that checks out, try to figure out why the HUP signalling might have failed, maybe try docker kill -s HUP nginx.service or similar

I think I found the culprit. I was cross referencing your post with this one and noticed that they rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default in their nginx.tmpl. So I did the same and it fixed the issue.

EDIT

Correction: I didn't rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default, but removed include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf; from nginx.tmpl

On a separate note, the docker image you're pulling in here seems to be a private one. I couldn't access it so I changed it to tutum/hello-world (which seems to be used anyway) and that worked for me.

And since this ticket became a dumping ground for little issues with the post, here is another possible one:

reload_nginx.sh references wrong docker container - connect-lb-nginx. I beleive it should be nginx.service instead.

well spotted! I adapted the sample code from something I was working on but looks like I didn't catch all the references!
