Anyway to limit amount of requests to no more then 20 requests per hour for each file?

Server NGINX
1

Hello,

Iam trying to avoid a seperate location {} for each file, instead just
limit the amount of reqeusts per second based on each object.

Iam sure there must be a way.

Thanks

Joseph

If you’re happy with 60 requests per hour, then you can take advantage
of
the http_limit_req module.

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_limit_req_module.html

limit_req_zone $uri zone=one:32m rate=1r/m;

Great…

So all I need is that single line in the httpd section, or server
section?

limit_req_zone $uri zone=one:32m rate=1r/m;

Iam thinking I need some other line to actually apply the limit such as
this?

location / { limit_req zone=one; proxy_pass http://backend1; }

Or something like this?

Yes, that’s right. You also need limit_req directive in the place where
do you
want to apply the limit.
