Nginx

Install and start nginx Removes the default server, and replaces it with a default 404 not-found server for every request.

Requirements

Debian Wheezy with the package python-pycurl and python-software-properties installed.

Role Variables

All variables have sane defaults, but the following can be set:

nginx_group: "www-data"
nginx_php_force_cgi_redirect: false
nginx_user: "www-data"
nginx_worker_connections: 1024
nginx_worker_processes: "{{ ansible_processor_count }}"
nginx_www_dir: "/var/www"

nginx_http_params:
    client_body_timeout: "10m"
    client_header_buffer_size: "1k"
    client_header_timeout: "10m"
    connection_pool_size: 256
    ignore_invalid_headers: "on"
    keepalive_timeout: "75 20"
    large_client_header_buffers: "4 2k"
    output_buffers: "1 32k"
    postpone_output: 1460
    request_pool_size: "4k"
    send_timeout: "10m"
    sendfile: "on"
    server_names_hash_bucket_size: 64
    tcp_nodelay: "on"
    tcp_nopush: "on"
    types_hash_max_size: 2048

The role sets a default nginx server to return 404. If you do not wish to write a default server config file, you can set this to no:

nginx_set_default_server: yes

The role also supports adding additional nginx servers, see the /defaults/main.yml file for an example of how to add server(s). Default is an empty list:

nginx_servers: []

Dependencies

Depends on f500.repo_dotdeb.
