Credit to https://github.com/eedev - Their PR was marked stale: #1999
Motivation
I wanted to use Nginx Proxy Manager to do some simple load balancing for a EMQX cluster, seems I am not alone:
Description
I followed #1999 - unfortunately, that PR is very stale, so it was easier to branch off of upstream develop and re-implement the changes and perform the eslint fixes.
If your stream contains multiple upstreams - it will use the least connection strategy and max_fails=3
Alternative Approaches
A more robust solution would allow for specifying the upstream port for each of the forwarding hosts (upstreams). I did toy around with this but decided it was more work than I wanted to do right now and was worried it may break other user configurations.
Future Enhancements
