## Getting Started
|
||
|
||
Follow our [Installation Guide](https://github.com/nginxinc/ansible-role-nginx/blob/master/README.md#Installation) to install Ansible and Molecule and get ready to use the NGINX Ansible role.
|
||
|
||
### Project Structure
|
||
|
||
* The NGINX Ansible role is written in `yaml` and supports open source NGINX, NGINX Plus, NGINX Amplify, NGINX Controller, and NGINX Unit.
|
||
* The project follows the standard [Ansible role directory structure](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_reuse_roles.html)
|
||
* The main code is found at `tasks/`
|
||
* The main variables can be found at `defaults/main/`
|
||
* Configuration templates for NGINX can be found at `templates/`
|
||
* [Molecule](https://molecule.readthedocs.io/) tests can be found in `molecule/`.
|
||
* CI/CD is done via Travis using `.travis.yml` Deployment yaml files, and Helm files are found at `deployments/`

|
||
|
||
## Code Guidelines
|
||
|
||
### Git Guidelines
|
||
|
||
* Keep a clean, concise and meaningful git commit history on your branch (within reason), rebasing locally and squashing before submitting a PR
|
||
* Follow the guidelines of writing a good commit message as described here <https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/> and summarised in the next few points
|
||
* In the subject line, use the present tense ("Add feature" not "Added feature")
|
||
* In the subject line, use the imperative mood ("Move cursor to..." not "Moves cursor to...")
|
||
* Limit the subject line to 72 characters or less
|
||
* Reference issues and pull requests liberally after the subject line
|
||
* Add more detailed description in the body of the git message (`git commit -a` to give you more space and time in your text editor to write a good message instead of `git commit -am`)
|
||
|
||
### Ansible Guidelines
|
||
|
||
* Run `molecule lint` over your code to automatically resolve a lot of `yaml` and Ansible style issues.
|
||
* Run `molecule test --all` on your code to catch any other issues.
|
||
* Follow these guides on some good practices for Ansible:

* <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_best_practices.html>
