puppet-nginx

Overview

Install, enable and configure an NGINX web server instance with its main configuration file options as well as additional configuration snippets.

The module is very Red Hat Enterprise Linux focused, as the defaults try to change everything in ways which are typical for RHEL, but it also works on other distributions and is very easy to port if needed.

• nginx : Main class for the NGINX web server.
• nginx::file : Manage additional configuration snippets.
• nginx::params : Class to set distribution specific defaults.

Examples

Default server, with a typical minimal virtualhost and ready for PHP-FPM :

include nginx
nginx::file { 'www.example.com.conf':
  content => template('mymodule/www.example.com.conf.erb'),
}
# Use the included example FastCGI for PHP configuration
nginx::file { 'php.conf.inc':
  source => 'puppet:///modules/nginx/php.conf.inc',
}

Sample configuration file mymodule/www.example.com.conf.erb mentioned above :

# Fix for "upstream sent too big header ..." errors
fastcgi_buffers 8 8k;
fastcgi_buffer_size 8k;
upstream fpmbackend {
  server unix:/var/run/php-fpm-www.sock;
}
# Main virtualhost
server {
  listen 80;
  server_name www.example.com;
  root /var/www/www.example.com;
  include /etc/nginx/conf.d/php.conf.inc;
  access_log /var/log/nginx/www.example.com-access.log main;
  error_log /var/log/nginx/www.example.com-error.log;
}
