Chef cookbook to to install and configure nginx web server.
This cookbook provides a set of LWRPs to install and configure nginx web server, namely nginx_configure, nginx_install, nginx_module, nginx_conf, nginx_include and nginx_vhost. The first three have to do with building nginx from source, the other help with web server configuration. This is a minimal set that should be extended in order to support building nginx with extra modules (both standard and custom ones). One may take a look at ngx-modules repository, which provides examples on how this set can be utilized.
# instruct Chef to build nginx with http_gzip_static module
nginx_module 'http_gzip_static' do

# install nginx

directives(
main: {
worker_processes: 'auto'
},
events: {
worker_connections: 1024
},

}
)
action :run
end
# create http_gzip_static config at /etc/nginx/conf.d
nginx_conf 'http_gzip_static' do
