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.
