Example Playbook
----------------

This is a sample playbook file for deploying the Ansible Galaxy NGINX role in a localhost and installing the open source version of NGINX.

    ---
    - hosts: localhost
      become: true
      roles:
        - role: nginxinc.nginx

This is a sample playbook file for deploying the Ansible Galaxy NGINX role in a localhost and installing NGINX Plus.

    ---
    - hosts: localhost
      become: true
      roles:
        - role: nginxinc.nginx
      vars:
        - type: plus

This is a sample playbook file for deploying the Ansible Galaxy NGINX role to a dynamic inventory containing the `nginx` tag.

    ---
    - hosts: tag_nginx
      remote_user: root
      roles:
        - role: nginxinc.nginx

To run any of the above sample playbooks create a `setup-nginx.yml` file and paste the contents. Executing the Ansible Playbook is then as simple as executing `ansible-playbook setup-nginx.yml`.

Alternatively, you can also clone this repository instead of installing it from Ansible Galaxy. If you decide to do so, replace the role variable in the previous sample playbooks from `nginxinc.nginx` to `ansible-role-nginx`.
