Configure nginx cache in AWS Elastic Beanstalk - amazon-web-services

Question

I need to change the configuration of my nginx reverse proxy in EB. In my local environment I have all configured fine and working, but when I try to change the proxy_cache_path and other stuff, it's not working.
This is my local configuration (nginx.conf), the important thing here is proxy_cache_path and configure cache section :
#user nobody;
worker_processes 1;
#error_log logs/error.log;
#error_log logs/error.log notice;
#error_log logs/error.log info;
#pid logs/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
#log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
# '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
# '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';
#access_log logs/access.log main;
sendfile on;
#tcp_nopush on;
#keepalive_timeout 0;
keepalive_timeout 65;
gzip on;
proxy_cache_path /cache/nginx levels=1:2 keys_zone=cache_zone_name:10m;
server {
listen 80;
server_name mydomain.app, www.mydomain.app;
#charset koi8-r;
#access_log logs/host.access.log main;
location / {
#root html;
#index index.html index.htm;
#Config proxy inverse cache
proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
# Add cache debugging header
add_header X-Cache-Status $upstream_cache_status;
# Configure cache
proxy_cache cache_zone_name;
proxy_cache_valid any 1m;
proxy_cache_key $scheme$host$request_uri;
}
#error_page 404 /404.html;
# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
#
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root html;
}
}
include servers/*;
}
I have take from the official documentation and compare with my instances the .ebextensions/proxy.config:
files:
/etc/nginx/conf.d/proxy.conf:
mode: "000644"
owner: root
group: root
content: |
upstream nodejs {
server 127.0.0.1:8081;
keepalive 256;
}
server {
listen 8080;
# proxy_cache_path /home levels=1:2 keys_zone=cache_zone_name:10m;
if ($time_iso8601 ~ "^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})T(\d{2})") {
set $year $1;
set $month $2;
set $day $3;
set $hour $4;
}
access_log /var/log/nginx/healthd/application.log.$year-$month-$day-$hour healthd;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main;
location / {
proxy_pass http://nodejs;
proxy_set_header Connection "";
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
# Add cache debugging header
add_header X-Cache-Status $upstream_cache_status;
# Configure cache
# proxy_cache cache_zone_name;
# proxy_cache_valid any 1m;
# proxy_cache_key $scheme$host$request_uri;
}
gzip on;
gzip_comp_level 4;
gzip_types text/html text/plain text/css application/json application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
location /public {
alias /var/app/current/public;
}
}
container_commands:
removeconfig:
command: "rm -f /tmp/deployment/config/#etc#nginx#conf.d#00_elastic_beanstalk_proxy.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/00_elastic_beanstalk_proxy.conf"
I have configured the folder /home for caching, and if I uncomment the lines of proxy_cache_path and Configure Cache section, the deploy is failed.
Any ideas? I have spent more than 2 hours with that with no results... Thanks!!

Ok, I solved just moving the line out of server:
proxy_cache_path /home levels=1:2 keys_zone=cache_zone_name:10m;
server { ... other code }
I hope someone help my question and answer. Thanks!
