when frontend-loader is down, nginx should remain up and keep serving files from www #76

when frontend-loader is down, nginx should remain up and keep serving files from www

this ensure that there is not a complete frontend outage whenever frontend-loader is down (as nginx would still be up).

should be just a matter of removing a dependency line from the nginx container?

Have been thinking about this and discussing with Steve

One solution is to not run the nginx container in the frontend pod, like is done for gcp: https://github.com/place-labs/k8s-helm/blob/b010f630c06d5ef4e28e5c8cf04e07894a27a042/charts/placeos/charts/frontendloader/values.yaml#L8

Another is frontend-loader is now stateless and so can run multiple pods, this helps if one of the frontend-loaders has issues, though it seems likely if one does all will, need more testing on 1.2211.1
