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

This is a sample playbook file for deploying the Ansible Galaxy NGINX role in a localhost to install NGINX Unit and all NGINX Unit language packages.

---
- hosts: localhost
  become: true
  roles:
    - role: nginxinc.nginx
  vars:
    - unit_enable: true
    - unit_packages: true

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.
