Same limitation as mod_vhost_alias has. There's no reason why a copy of mod_vhost_alias couldn't look up something the way you describe at runtime to make its decision. Fortunately It is a very small/simple module.If I’m understanding you correctly, while it’s easy to make such a setup with just the very basic controls that mod_vhost_alias exposes, it’s much harder to have it be able to use, e.g., mod_ruid2, mod_userdir, etc.? That’s probably unfeasible for my use case. A bit more context: currently we run httpd in a “classic” single-node setup, hosting 1,000s of virtual hosts that users individually control. Any time a user adds/removes/alters a domain, httpd.conf is updated.
Can't you use separate config files and include them?
We’d like to explore high-availability options, but containerized/k8s setups that I’ve seen seem to package the configuration in the container, which means updates to that config would entail rebuilding the container; that would seem to entail a dramatic increase in “churn” every time a user adds or removes a domain. What, if anything, have others done to address this problem?
You could look into using a NoSQL database for virtual host configurations. The performance should not be noticeably worse as opposed to using a config file that is loaded into memory. I'm not sure if any such modules are openly available for httpd, though.
Something like https://www.litespeedtech.com/solutions/mass-hosting ("HA with Redis").
