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
.
