nginx

[stephentcannon]

What about nginx as part of the setup with accompanying nginx conf files?

Would love to have this as well infront of the meteor app

There's so many different ways apps work, so how would you have nginx being set up?

I just made a few configs for some of my own projects, where some include SSL, some doesn't. Some needs redirects from other domains, and so on.

If you have a good way to solve it, I wouldn't mind integrating it.

I think that's not a job of mup. Mup will get too complicated if so.

@arunoda I agree. Yet, wouldn't it be smart to be able to store an nginx.conf (or any other type of file, for that matter) file in your own project, and have a way to do symlinks, and restarts of any given service?

For example you have a folder with files, to use for deployment, in which I would (for nginx) store a "nginx.conf" file, a "ssl.crt" and a "ssl.key" file. Then in the mup.json file, add variables like

{
  "appName": "com.domain",
  "symlink": {
    "nginx.conf": "/etc/nginx/sites-available/com.domain.conf"
  },
  "service": {
    "nginx": "reload"
  }
}

And refer to the two SSL-files directly from the nginx.conf and to the SSL-files like so:

server {
  # ...
  ssl_certificate     /opt/com.domain/deployment_files/ssl.crt;
  ssl_certificate_key /opt/com.domain/deployment_files/ssl.key;
  # ...
}

What should happen, is:

• Includes the "deployment_files" folder (call it something better suited, maybe?), when publishing it to the server
• Make symlinks from target to point, as per the symlink object
• Send commands to services, as per the service object

Let me know what you think. ;)

Edit:
If you want to deploy to multiple servers, you most likely don't want a service like nginx running on more than 1 server, so I guess my above code, should be defined in the server section, if it should be implemented. Again... This quickly gets out of the scope for mup as I see it.

Now we've the SSL support. Check docs: https://github.com/arunoda/meteor-up#ssl-support
