发布Asp.net core到nginx 使用nginx代理
In this guide, we will cover setting up a production-ready ASP.NET environment on an Ubuntu 16.04 Server.+
Note
For Ubuntu 14.04 supervisord is recommended as a solution for monitoring the Kestrel process. systemd is not available on Ubuntu 14.04. See previous version of this document
We will take an existing ASP.NET Core application and place it behind a reverse-proxy server. We will then setup the reverse-proxy server to forward requests to our Kestrel web server.
Additionally we will ensure our web application runs on startup as a daemon and configure a process management tool to help restart our web application in the event of a crash to guarantee high availability.
Prerequisites
-
Access to an Ubuntu 16.04 Server with a standard user account with sudo privilege.
-
An existing ASP.NET Core application.
Copy over your app
Run dotnet publish
from your dev environment to package your application into a self-contained directory that can run on your server.2
Before we proceed, copy your ASP.NET Core application to your server using whatever tool (SCP, FTP, etc) integrates into your workflow. Try and run the app and navigate to http://<serveraddress>:<port>
in your browser to see if the application runs fine on Linux. I recommend you have a working app before proceeding.
Note
You can use Yeoman to create a new ASP.NET Core application for a new project.
Configure a reverse proxy server
A reverse proxy is a common setup for serving dynamic web applications. The reverse proxy terminates the HTTP request and forwards it to the ASP.NET application.
Why use a reverse-proxy server?
Kestrel is great for serving dynamic content from ASP.NET, however the web serving parts aren’t as feature rich as full-featured servers like IIS, Apache or Nginx. A reverse proxy-server can allow you to offload work like serving static content, caching requests, compressing requests, and SSL termination from the HTTP server. The reverse proxy server may reside on a dedicated machine or may be deployed alongside an HTTP server.
For the purposes of this guide, we are going to use a single instance of Nginx that runs on the same server alongside your HTTP server. However, based on your requirements you may choose a different setup.
When setting up a reverse-proxy server other than IIS, you must call app.UseIdentity
(in Configure
) before any other external providers.
Because requests are forwarded by reverse-proxy, use ForwardedHeaders
middleware (from Microsoft.AspNetCore.HttpOverrides
package) in order to set the redirect URI with the X-Forwarded-For
and X-Forwarded-Proto
headers instead of Request.Scheme
and Request.Host
."
Add UseForwardedHeaders
to Configure
before calling app.UseFacebookAuthentication
or similar:
app.UseForwardedHeaders(new ForwardedHeadersOptions
{
ForwardedHeaders = ForwardedHeaders.XForwardedFor | ForwardedHeaders.XForwardedProto
});
Install Nginx
sudo apt-get install nginx
Note
If you plan to install optional Nginx modules you may be required to build Nginx from source.
We are going to apt-get
to install Nginx. The installer also creates a System V init script that runs Nginx as daemon on system startup. Since we just installed Nginx for the first time, we can explicitly start it by running
sudo service nginx start
At this point you should be able to navigate to your browser and see the default landing page for Nginx.
Configure Nginx
We will now configure Nginx as a reverse proxy to forward requests to our ASP.NET application
We will be modifying the /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
, so open it up in your favorite text editor and replace the contents with the following.
server {
listen 80;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:5000;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection keep-alive;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
}
This is one of the simplest configuration files for Nginx that forwards incoming public traffic on your port 80
to a port 5000
that your web application will listen on.
Once you have completed making changes to your nginx configuration you can run sudo nginx -t
to verify the syntax of your configuration files. If the configuration file test is successful you can ask nginx to pick up the changes by running sudo nginx -s reload
.
Monitoring our application
Nginx is now setup to forward requests made to http://localhost:80
on to the ASP.NET Core application running on Kestrel at http://127.0.0.1:5000
. However, Nginx is not set up to manage the Kestrel process. We will use systemd and create a service file to start and monitor the underlying web app. systemd is an init system that provides many powerful features for starting, stopping and managing processes.
Create the service file
Create the service definition file
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/kestrel-hellomvc.service
An example service file for our application.
[Unit]
Description=Example .NET Web API Application running on Ubuntu
[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/var/aspnetcore/hellomvc
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dotnet /var/aspnetcore/hellomvc/hellomvc.dll
Restart=always
RestartSec=10 # Restart service after 10 seconds if dotnet service crashes
SyslogIdentifier=dotnet-example
User=www-data
Environment=ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Production
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Note
User -- If the user www-data is not used by your configuration, the user defined here must be created first and given proper ownership for files
Save the file and enable the service.1
systemctl enable kestrel-hellomvc.service
Start the service and verify that it is running.
systemctl start kestrel-hellomvc.service
systemctl status kestrel-hellomvc.service
● kestrel-hellomvc.service - Example .NET Web API Application running on Ubuntu
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/kestrel-hellomvc.service; enabled)
Active: active (running) since Thu 2016-10-18 04:09:35 NZDT; 35s ago
Main PID: 9021 (dotnet)
CGroup: /system.slice/kestrel-hellomvc.service
└─9021 /usr/local/bin/dotnet /var/aspnetcore/hellomvc/hellomvc.dll
With the reverse proxy configured and Kestrel managed through systemd, the web application is fully configured and can be accessed from a browser on the local machine at http://localhost
. Inspecting the response headers, the Server still shows the ASP.NET Core application being served by Kestrel.
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2016 16:22:23 GMT
Server: Kestrel
Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=98
Connection: Keep-Alive
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Viewing logs
Since the web application using Kestrel is managed using systemd, all events and processes are logged to a centralized journal. However, this journal includes all entries for all services and processes managed by systemd. To view the kestrel-hellomvc.service
specific items, use the following command.
sudo journalctl -fu kestrel-hellomvc.service
For further filtering, time options such as --since today
, --until 1 hour ago
or a combination of these can reduce the amount of entries returned.
sudo journalctl -fu kestrel-hellomvc.service --since "2016-10-18" --until "2016-10-18 04:00"
Securing our application
Enable AppArmor
Linux Security Modules (LSM) is a framework that is part of the Linux kernel since Linux 2.6 that supports different implementations of security modules. AppArmor
is a LSM that implements a Mandatory Access Control system which allows you to confine the program to a limited set of resources. Ensure AppArmor is enabled and properly configured.
Configuring our firewall
Close off all external ports that are not in use. Uncomplicated firewall (ufw) provides a frontend for iptables
by providing a command-line interface for configuring the firewall. Verify that ufw
is configured to allow traffic on any ports you need.
sudo apt-get install ufw
sudo ufw enable
sudo ufw allow 80/tcp
sudo ufw allow 443/tcp
Securing Nginx
The default distribution of Nginx doesn't enable SSL. To enable all the security features we require, we will build from source.
Download the source and install the build dependencies
# Install the build dependencies
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential zlib1g-dev libpcre3-dev libssl-dev libxslt1-dev libxml2-dev libgd2-xpm-dev libgeoip-dev libgoogle-perftools-dev libperl-dev
# Download nginx 1.10.0 or latest
wget http://www.nginx.org/download/nginx-1.10.0.tar.gz
tar zxf nginx-1.10.0.tar.gz
Change the Nginx response name
Edit src/http/ngx_http_header_filter_module.c
static char ngx_http_server_string[] = "Server: Your Web Server" CRLF;
static char ngx_http_server_full_string[] = "Server: Your Web Server" CRLF;
Configure the options and build
The PCRE library is required for regular expressions. Regular expressions are used in the location directive for the ngx_http_rewrite_module. The http_ssl_module adds HTTPS protocol support.
Consider using a web application firewall like ModSecurity to harden your application.
./configure
--with-pcre=../pcre-8.38
--with-zlib=../zlib-1.2.8
--with-http_ssl_module
--with-stream
--with-mail=dynamic
Configure SSL
-
Configure your server to listen to HTTPS traffic on port
443
by specifying a valid certificate issued by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). -
Harden your security by employing some of the practices suggested below like choosing a stronger cipher and redirecting all traffic over HTTP to HTTPS.
-
Adding an
HTTP Strict-Transport-Security
(HSTS) header ensures all subsequent requests made by the client are over HTTPS only. -
Do not add the Strict-Transport-Security header or chose an appropriate
max-age
if you plan to disable SSL in the future.
Add /etc/nginx/proxy.conf
configuration file.
proxy_redirect off;
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_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
client_max_body_size 10m;
client_body_buffer_size 128k;
proxy_connect_timeout 90;
proxy_send_timeout 90;
proxy_read_timeout 90;
proxy_buffers 32 4k;
Edit /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
configuration file. The example contains both http and server sections in one configuration file.
http {
include /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;
limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=one:10m rate=5r/s;
server_tokens off;

Secure Nginx from clickjacking
Clickjacking is a malicious technique to collect an infected user's clicks. Clickjacking tricks the victim (visitor) into clicking on an infected site. Use X-FRAME-OPTIONS to secure your site.
Edit the nginx.conf file.
sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
Add the the line add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
and save the file, then restart Nginx.
MIME-type sniffing
This header prevents Internet Explorer from MIME-sniffing a response away from the declared content-type as the header instructs the browser not to override the response content type. With the nosniff option, if the server says the content is text/html, the browser will render it as text/html.
Edit the nginx.conf file.
sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
Add the the line add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff"
and save the file, then restart Nginx.
