ara/roles/ara_frontend_nginx

ansible-role-ara-frontend-nginx

A role for deploying a minimal installation of nginx for ara-api and ara-web.

This role is not meant to be used on it's own, it should be included by the ara_api and ara_web roles in order to have the necessary variables available.

It is currently tested and supported against Ubuntu 18.04 and Fedora 29.

Role Variables

• ara_api_frontend_vhost: Path to a custom nginx vhost configuration file for ara-api.
• ara_web_frontend_vhost: Path to a custom nginx vhost configuration file for ara-web.
