Ansible NGINX Role ================== [![Ansible Galaxy](https://img.shields.io/badge/galaxy-nginxinc.nginx-5bbdbf.svg)](https://galaxy.ansible.com/nginxinc/nginx) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/nginxinc/ansible-role-nginx.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/nginxinc/ansible-role-nginx) This role installs NGINX Open Source, NGINX Plus, or NGINX Unit 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 ------------ This role was developed using Ansible 2.4.0.0. Backwards compatibility is not guaranteed. Use `ansible-galaxy install nginxinc.nginx` to install the role on your system. It supports all platforms supported by [NGINX Open Source](https://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html#mainline) and [NGINX Plus](https://www.nginx.com/products/technical-specs/): **NGINX Open Source** ```yaml CentOS: versions: - 6 - 7 RedHat: versions: - 6 - 7 Debian: versions: - jessie - stretch Ubuntu: versions: - trusty - xenial - artful - bionic SUSE/SLES: versions: - 12 FreeBSD: versions: - 10 - 11 ``` **NGINX Plus** ```yaml CentOS: versions: - 6 - 7 RedHat: versions: - 6 - 7 Debian: versions: - jessie - stretch Ubuntu: versions: - trusty - xenial - artful - bionic Oracle Linux: versions: - 6.5 - 7 Amazon Linux: versions: - 2018.03 SUSE/SLES: versions: - 12 FreeBSD: versions: - 10 - 11 ``` **NGINX Amplify** ```yaml CentOS: versions: - 6 - 7 RedHat: versions: - 6 - 7 Debian: versions: - jessie - stretch Ubuntu: versions: - trusty - xenial - artful - bionic Amazon Linux: versions: - 2017.09 ``` **NGINX Controller** ```yaml CentOS: versions: - 7 RedHat: versions: - 7 Debian: versions: - jessie - stretch Ubuntu: versions: - xenial - artful ``` **NGINX Unit** ```yaml CentOS: versions: - 6 - 7 RedHat: versions: - 6 - 7 Debian: versions: - jessie - stretch Ubuntu: versions: - xenial - artful - bionic Amazon Linux: versions: - 2018.03 - 2 FreeBSD: versions: - 10 - 11 ``` Role Variables -------------- This role has multiple variables. The defaults for all these variables are the following: ```yaml --- # Install NGINX. # Default is true. nginx_enable: true # Print NGINX configuration file to terminal after executing playbook. nginx_debug_output: false # Specify which version of NGINX you want to install. # Options are 'opensource' or 'plus'. # Default is 'opensource'. nginx_type: opensource # Specify repository origin for NGINX Open Source. # Options are 'nginx_repository' or 'os_repository'. # Only works if 'nginx_type' is set to 'opensource'. # Default is nginx_repository. nginx_install_from: nginx_repository # Specify source repository for NGINX Open Source. # Only works if 'install_from' is set to 'nginx_repository'. # Defaults are the official NGINX repositories. nginx_repository: debian: -

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`.
