nginx-formula

Formula to set up and configure NGINX.

WARNING: BREAKING CHANGES SINCE `v1.0.0`
Prior to v1.0.0, this formula provided two methods for managing NGINX; the old method under `nginx` and the new method under `nginx.ng`. The old method has now been removed and `nginx.ng` has been promoted to be `nginx` in its place. If you are not in a position to migrate, please pin your repo to the final release tag before v1.0.0, i.e. v0.56.1. To migrate from `nginx.ng`, simply modify your pillar to promote the entire section under `nginx:ng` so that it is under `nginx` instead. So with the editor of your choice, highlight the entire section and then unindent one level. Finish by removing the `ng:` line. To migrate from the old `nginx`, first convert to `nginx.ng` under v0.56.1 and then follow the steps laid out in the paragraph directly above.

`nginx`

Meta-state for inclusion of all states.

Note: nginx requires the merge parameter of salt.modules.pillar.get(), first available in the Helium release.

`nginx.pkg`

Installs nginx from package, from the distribution repositories, the official nginx repo or the ppa from Launchpad.

`nginx.src`

Builds and installs nginx from source.

`nginx.certificates`

Manages the deployment of nginx certificates.

`nginx.config`

Manages the nginx main server configuration file.

`nginx.service`

Manages the startup and running state of the nginx service.

`nginx.servers_config`

Manages virtual host files. This state only manages the content of the files and does not bind them to service calls.

`nginx.servers`

Manages nginx virtual hosts files and binds them to service calls.

`nginx.passenger`

Installs and configures Phusion Passenger module for nginx. You need to enable the upstream phusion passenger repository with install_from_phusionpassenger: true. Nginx will also be installed from that repository, as it needs to be modified to allow the passenger module to work.

Testing

Linux testing is done with kitchen-salt.

Requirements

Ruby
Docker

$ gem install bundler
$ bundle install
$ bin/kitchen test [platform]

Where [platform] is the platform name defined in kitchen.yml, e.g. debian-9-2019-2-py3.

`bin/kitchen converge`

Creates the docker instance and runs the nginx main state, ready for testing.

`bin/kitchen verify`

Runs the inspec tests on the actual instance.

`bin/kitchen destroy`

Removes the docker instance.

`bin/kitchen test`

Runs all of the stages above in one go: i.e. destroy + converge + verify + destroy.

`bin/kitchen login`

Gives you SSH access to the instance for manual testing.

Testing with Vagrant

Windows/FreeBSD/OpenBSD testing is done with kitchen-salt.

Requirements

Ruby
Virtualbox
Vagrant

Setup

$ gem install bundler
$ bundle install --with=vagrant
$ bin/kitchen test [platform]

Where [platform] is the platform name defined in kitchen.vagrant.yml, e.g. windows-81-latest-py3.

Note

When testing using Vagrant you must set the environment variable KITCHEN_LOCAL_YAML to kitchen.vagrant.yml. For example:

$ KITCHEN_LOCAL_YAML=kitchen.vagrant.yml bin/kitchen test      # Alternatively,
$ export KITCHEN_LOCAL_YAML=kitchen.vagrant.yml
$ bin/kitchen test

Then run the following commands as needed.
