finallycoffee.services.nginx ansible role
Description
Runs nginx, a HTTP reverse proxy, in a docker container.
Usage
For the role to do anything, nginx_config needs to be populated with the configuration for nginx.
An example would be:
nginx_config: |+
server {
listen 80 default_server;
server_name my.server.fqdn;
location / { return 200; }
}
The container is named nginx by default, this can be overridden in nginx_container_name.
When running this role multiple times, nginx_base_path should also be changed for each run,
otherwise the configuration files collide in the filesystem.
For exposing this server to the host and/or internet, the nginx_container_ports (port forwarding host
from host to container), nginx_container_networks (docker networking) or nginx_container_labels
(for label-based routing discovery like traefik) can be used. The options correspond to the arguments
of the community.docker.docker_container module.
Deployment methods
Set nginx_deployment_method to either docker or podman to use the respective ansible modules for
creating and managing the container and its image. See all supported methods in nginx_deployment_methods.
