Ansible NGINX Configuration Role

This role configures NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus on your target host.

Note: This role is still in active development. There may be unidentified issues and the role variables may change as development continues.

Requirements

Ansible

  • This role is developed and tested with maintained versions of Ansible base (bigger than 2.10) and Ansible (bigger than 2.9.10).
  • When using Ansible base, you will also need to install the following collections: 
    ---
collections:
  - name: community.general
    version: 2.3.0
  - name: ansible.posix
    version: 1.2.0
    Note: You can alternatively install the Ansible community distribution (what is known as the "old" Ansible) if you don't want to manage individual collections.
  • Instructions on how to install Ansible can be found in the Ansible website.

Jinja2

  • This role uses Jinja2 templates. Ansible base installs Jinja2 by default, but depending on your install and/or upgrade path, you might be running an outdated version of Jinja2. The minimum version of Jinja2 required for the role to properly function is 2.11.
  • Instructions on how to install Jinja2 can be found in the Jinja2 website.

Molecule

  • Molecule is used to test the various functionalities of the role. The recommended version of Molecule to test this role is 3.3.
  • Instructions on how to install Molecule can be found in the Molecule website.
