How to stop Reverse Proxy on particular node? - azure-service-fabric

Question

Is it possible to stop only Reverse Proxy service/process without affecting everything else?
As far as I see the only way to disable it currently is to stop the whole windows Service Fabric Host Service which literally means to take node down.

Hi #BulakaievOleksandr
I am not sure what kind of cluster you are running so I hope my assumption that you are talking about standalone cluster are correct.
As far as I know ReverseProxy is disable by default so in order to enable it the steps should be taken. I think if we reverse them - we should be able to disable ReverseProxy.
According to this and this we should check the following:
In ClusterConfig.json please check that all NodeTypes have their reverseProxyEndpointPort property removed.
"properties": {
...
"nodeTypes": [
{
"name": "NodeType0",
...
"reverseProxyEndpointPort": "19081",
...
}
],
...
}
Then please make sure that inside fabricSettings you have turned off the ApplicationGateway/Http.
"fabricSettings": [
...
{
"name": "ApplicationGateway/Http",
"parameters": [
{
"name": "IsEnabled",
"value": "false"
}
]
}
],
...
Hope this helps.

Didn't check this but I think it is possible. When you configure cluster configuration you can specify node types:
"nodeTypes": [
{
"name": "PrimaryNodeType",
"clientConnectionEndpointPort": "19000",
"clusterConnectionEndpointPort": "19001",
"leaseDriverEndpointPort": "19002",
"serviceConnectionEndpointPort": "19003",
"httpGatewayEndpointPort": "19080",
"reverseProxyEndpointPort": "19081",
"applicationPorts": {
"startPort": "20001",
"endPort": "20031"
},
"isPrimary": true
}
]
Notice that name for this node type is "PrimaryNodeType". You can add secondary node type and do not configure "reverseProxyEndpointPort". Use this node type for nodes you want to disable reverse proxy:
"nodes": [
{
"nodeName": "VM01",
"iPAddress": "10.1.0.11",
"nodeTypeRef": "PrimaryNodeType",
"faultDomain": "fd:/dc0/r1",
"upgradeDomain": "UD1"
},
{
"nodeName": "VM02",
"iPAddress": "10.1.0.12",
"nodeTypeRef": "SecondaryNodeType",
"faultDomain": "fd:/dc0/r2",
"upgradeDomain": "UD2"
},
It should work, although with Service Fabric you never know. Common sense solutions often do not work. Please let me know.
