We run a couple of automated
scans to help you access a
module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Please note, the information below
is for guidance only and neither of
these methods should be considered
an endorsement by Puppet.

Documentation

ctrlcroot/nginx — version 0.1.6 Sep 18th 2013

puppet-nginx

Puppet module for the NGINX web server. This module provides a higher level of abstraction than the module published by puppetlabs.

Requirements

  • puppetlabs/stdlib (4.1.0+)
  • ripienaar/concat (0.2.0+)

Quick Start

You can install nginx and configure it with a default HTTP and HTTPS site by simply declaring the base class:

class {'nginx': }

You can also disable the default sites and provide your own:

class {'nginx':
    defaults => false
}

nginx::site {'default':
    names => ['example.com', 'www.example.com'],
    root  => '/var/www'
}

nginx::site {'default-ssl':
    port  => '443',
    ssl   => true,
    names => ['example.com', 'www.example.com'],
    root  => '/var/www'
}

You can define redirects and reverse proxies:

nginx::site::redirect {'redmine_https':
    site   => 'default',
    url    => '/redmine',
    target => 'https://www.example.com/redmine'
}

nginx::site::proxy {'dev_site':
    site     => 'default-ssl',
    url      => '/testing',
    upstream => ['10.89.0.12:8000', '10.89.0.14:8000']
}

You can set up reverse proxies that support websocket connections. Please note that this requires NGINX version 1.4+ in order to work. The module currently does not check the server version.

nginx::site::proxy {'socketio':
    site       => 'default',
    url        => '/socket.io',
    upstream   => ['10.89.0.12:8002', '10.89.0.14:8002'],
    websockets => true
}

Platforms

This module currently supports debian and rhel platforms. It has been used in a production environment on the following operating systems:

  • Ubuntu 13.10
  • CentOS 6.4
