nginx

This role installs and configures the nginx web server. The user can specify any http configuration parameters they wish to apply their site. Any number of sites can be added with configurations of your choice.

Build Status Ansible Galaxy

Requirements

This role requires Ansible 1.4 or higher and platform requirements are listed in the metadata file.
For FreeBSD a working pkgng setup is required (see: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/pkgng-intro.html )

Role Variables

The variables that can be passed to this role and a brief description about them are as follows. (For all variables, take a look at defaults/main.yml)

# The user to run nginx
nginx_user: "www-data"

# A list of directives for the events section.
nginx_events_params:
 - worker_connections 512
 - debug_connection 127.0.0.1
 - use epoll
 - multi_accept on

# A list of hashs that define the servers for nginx,
# as with http parameters. Any valid server parameters
# can be defined here.
nginx_sites:
 default:
     - listen 80
     - server_name _
     - root "/usr/share/nginx/html"
     - index index.html
 foo:
     - listen 8080
     - server_name localhost
     - root "/tmp/site1"
     - location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html; }
     - location /images/ { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html; }

Examples

  1. Install nginx with HTTP directives of choices, but with no sites configured and no additionnal configuration:
- hosts: all
  roles:
  - {role: nginx,
     nginx_http_params: ["sendfile on", "access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log"]
                          }
  1. Install nginx with different HTTP directives than previous example, but no sites configured and no additionnal configuration.
- hosts: all
  roles:
  - {role: nginx,
     nginx_http_params: ["tcp_nodelay on", "error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log"]}

Note: Please make sure the HTTP directives passed are valid, as this role won't check for the validity of the directives. See the nginx documentation for details.

  1. Install nginx and add a site to the configuration.
- hosts: all

  roles:
  - role: nginx
    nginx_http_params:
      - sendfile "on"
      - access_log "/var/log/nginx/access.log"
    nginx_sites:
      bar:
        - listen 8080
        - location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html; }
        - location /images/ { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html; }
    nginx_configs:
      proxy:
        - proxy_set_header X-Real-IP  $remote_addr
        - proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for

Note: Each site added is represented by list of hashes, and the configurations generated are populated in /etc/nginx/site-available/, a link is from /etc/nginx/site-enable/ to /etc/nginx/site-available

The file name for the specific site configurtaion is specified in the hash with the key "file_name", any valid server directives can be added to hash. Additional configuration are created in /etc/nginx/conf.d/

  1. Install Nginx , add 2 sites (different method) and add additional configuration

  1. Install Nginx , add 2 sites, add additional configuration and an upstream configuration block

  1. Install Nginx, add a site and use special yaml syntax to make the location blocks multiline for clarity
---
- hosts: all
  roles:
    - role: nginx
      nginx_http_params:
        - sendfile on
        - access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log
      nginx_sites:
        foo:
           - listen 443 ssl
           - server_name foo.example.com
           - set $myhost foo.example.com
           - |
             location / {
               proxy_set_header Host foo.example.com;
             }
           - |
             location ~ /v2/users/.+?/organizations {
               if ($request_method = PUT) {
                 set $myhost bar.example.com;
               }
               if ($request_method = DELETE) {
                 set $myhost bar.example.com;
               }
               proxy_set_header Host $myhost;
             }
  1. Example to use this role with my ssl-certs role to generate or copie ssl certificate ( https://galaxy.ansible.com/list#/roles/3115 )
 - hosts: all
   roles:
     - jdauphant.ssl-certs
     - role: jdauphant.nginx
       nginx_configs:
          ssl:
               - ssl_certificate_key {{ssl_certs_privkey_path}}
               - ssl_certificate     {{ssl_certs_cert_path}}
       nginx_sites:
          default:
               - listen 443 ssl
               - server_name _
               - root "/usr/share/nginx/html"
               - index index.html
