Overview

This module is a small utility module that does nothing but configure nginx.conf. It is designed to make Nginx act as a reverse proxy similar to the one in https://github.com/genebean/nginx-uri-proxy.

Setup requirements

Nginx must be installed and its services must be managed elsewhere. The required_packages parameter can be used to make sure this runs after the package is installed.

Beginning with nginx_proxy

The bulk of the settings for this module are contained in a pair of hashes. It is recommended to take advantage of Hiera to store these as it takes a lot less effort than creating the same structure in a manifest.

Settings

Below are all the settings this module uses and their default values.

Module-specific settings

$locations                 = [],
$required_packages         = ['nginx'],
$upstreams                 = [],

locations

This is a hash that correlates to the location blocks in nginx.conf.

  • order: Controls what order the blocks are placed in the config (required)
  • exact: Whether the path matching is an exact match or a starts with match (required)
  • path: The path the location block matches (required)
  • redirect: Whether the path redirects to https or not (required)
  • http_upstream: If redirect is false then this is the upstream used (optional)
  • https_upstream: The upstream to use for https connections (required)

upstreams

  • title: The name of the upstream (required)
  • lb_method: The load balancing algorithm to use (optional)
  • servers: An array of servers to send the traffic to (required)
Examples:
locations => [
  {
    order          => '001',
    exact          => true,
    path           => '/',
    redirect       => true,
    https_upstream => 'new_backend_https',
  },
  {
    order          => '002',
    exact          => true,
    path           => '/index.php',
    redirect       => true,
    https_upstream => 'new_backend_https',
  },

    exact          => false,
