以前做网站的时候遇到了网站的访问量很大,而导致后端处理程序响应超时而导致的一些问题。当时采用的架构是nginx+php-fastcgi,同事想到了用nginx-proxycache来做页面缓存,效果也还行。下面我想介绍一下varnish的使用技巧


准备

varnish严格来说是可以当作一个代理服务器的软件,直接将​​HTTP​​请求转发到​​php-cgi​​,然后交给php处理,varnish会获取经过php处理后的数据,最后返回给浏览器。如图

但是,现在​​php-fastcgi​​已经被逐渐淘汰了,也就是说我们一般情况下不会使用​​php-fastcgi​​,那么我们不能直接将varnish与php组合,因为php-fpm的交互方式为socket,而不再是监听本机的9000端口所以我们必须找一个的媒介,连接​​varnish​​和​​php-fpm​​,​​nginx​​可以扮演这个媒介,如下图:

那么问题来了,根据研究发现,​​varnish​​处理​​http​​请求不如​​nginx​​那么高效。所以如果我们让​​nginx​​做前锋,这样就更完美了。那我们需要怎么才能达到这个目的呢,下面我们来整理一下流程

下面就来实现一下图三的架构吧。

事先需要准备​​nginx​​,​​varnish​​,​​php-fpm​​,​​php​​这些软件,OS是​​ubuntu​​,所有软件都可以用​​apt-get install​​来安装,不了解包名全称的话可以先​​apt-get update​​,更新一下源,然后再用​​apt-cache search xxx​​来查找软件包名安装完​​varnish​​后,可以使用​​service varnish​​回车,查看可操作选项​​* Usage: /etc/init.d/varnish {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload|configtest}​​,一般安装完毕后,系统会自动启动​​varnish​​的,​​nginx​​也是一样,便不赘述了

配置

安装完所需的软件后,下面需要配置这些软件,来实现这个架构

测试&分析

1. 在不使用缓存模块的情况下


vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/default


#location ~ .*\.(gif|jpg|png|css|js|flv|ico|swf|html)$ {
# proxy_set_header Host $host;
# proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
# proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
# proxy_pass http://cache;
#}

先用chrome浏览器访问查看请求头

我们再使用curl,在服务器上执行以下命令

curl -k -v 'http://192.168.99.1/Public/Home/images/t_navigation_logo.png' -H 'Pragma: no-cache' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, sdch' -H 'Accept-Language: zh,en;q=0.8,zh-CN;q=0.6' -H 'Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.116 Safari/537.36' -H 'Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' --compressed

发现有输出内容。

然后,反选disable cache

然后在服务器上执行以下命令

curl  -k -v 'http://192.168.99.1/Public/Home/images/t_navigation_logo.png' -H 'If-None-Match: "57c6b733-1962"' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, sdch' -H 'Accept-Language: zh,en;q=0.8,zh-CN;q=0.6' -H 'Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.116 Safari/537.36' -H 'Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' -H 'If-Modified-Since: Wed, 31 Aug 2016 10:53:39 GMT' --compressed

发现只返回了头部信息,然而没有内容返回

然后我们比较两个命令 发现区别就在​​-H 'Pragma: no-cache'​​和 ​​-H 'If-Modified-Since: Wed, 31 Aug 2016 10:53:39 GMT' -H 'If-None-Match: "57c6b733-1962"'​​​​57c6b733-1962​​这串字符对应的是服务器响应给浏览器的​​ETag​​部分的内容,然后我们修改一下部分的内容

curl  -k -v 'http://192.168.99.1/Public/Home/images/t_navigation_logo.png' -H 'If-None-Match: "57c6b733-1234"' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, sdch' -H 'Accept-Language: zh,en;q=0.8,zh-CN;q=0.6' -H 'Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.116 Safari/537.36' -H 'Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' -H 'If-Modified-Since: Wed, 31 Aug 2016 10:53:39 GMT' --compressed

在服务器端执行一下。发现有内容返回,所以这个​​ETag​​相当于​​token​​,它不是由​​nginx​​随便生成的,且跟请求链接应是一一对应的,用来标识缓存的,当服务器返回的状态为​​304​​的时候,这时候我们浏览器会直接找到本地的缓存数据

2. 在使用缓存模块的情况下


vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/default


location ~ .*\.(gif|jpg|png|css|js|flv|ico|swf|html)$ {
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_pass http://cache;
}

用浏览器查看响应头

发现​​X-Cache:MISS from 192.168.99.1​​.这表示缓存未命中,然后我们刷新​​X-Cache:HIT from 192.168.99.1​​,这时候发现已经命中了。

对于已经命中的资源文件,我们如果将其删除会出现什么效果呢,答案是,其依然可以访问,除非重启或者将缓存清除

但是对PURGE显然是不对外公开的,以下是服务器端用curl清除varnish缓存的命令

curl -v -k -X PURGE http://localhost/Public/Home/css/t_navigation.css

结语

​varnish​​是一款内存类型的缓存软件,而非nginx扩展proxy_cache那种物理缓存类型的软件,存取速度比较快,但是也有弊端,重启后所有缓存得重写。不管怎么说,什么架子都适用的场景,要想满足业务需求还是得捣鼓透彻,而我也只是将我想到的给实现出来,毕竟资源和精力都是有限的,也就随便玩玩,诸位看客看看就好,别太认真,知道怎么回事儿就行。
