Overview

The lostinmalloc-nginx module manages the Nginx web server. It does take care of its configuration and deployment on a node. Make sure to check the official webpage should you have any doubts about Nginx.

lostinmalloc-nginx is distributed through the Apache License 2.0. Please do refer to the LICENSE for details.

Module Description

The lostinmalloc-nginx module allows the client to install, configure and manage the Nginx web server. The package, nginx-full, is installed through the default package management tool, which is APT in the case of Linux Debian and its derivative. The client can configure several of its properties, so that it meets the needs of any specific node.

Note that, on the contrary of Apache, Nginx needs to be compiled from the source, should we need to add modules. The lostinmalloc-nginx module does not allow this, since it relies on the version available through the default packages provider of the system.

Despite this, should the client ever need to install additional dependencies, apart those required by Nginx itself, he can do so by specifying them as extra_dependencies. The lostinmalloc-nginx module will take care to install them. See the Reference for more details.

What lostinmalloc-nginx does

The lostinmalloc-nginx module is responsible of:

Installing Nginx. More specifically, it does install nginx-full.
Customizing the Nginx configuration.
Making sure that Apache is turned off, if present.

What lostinmalloc-nginx does not

The lostinmalloc-nginx module is not responsible of:

Providing virtual host configuration files. The client is responsible of placing them in the default /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ directory.
Making sure any virtual host being server is properly configured.
Taking down the default virtual host installed with Nginx as an example. This is defined in /etc/nginx/sites-available/default and is soft linked into /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/.

Setup

In order to install lostinmalloc-nginx, run the following command:

$ sudo puppet module install lostinmalloc-nginx

Once installed, creating an instance of lostinmalloc-nginx on a node is a simple as:

node 'puppet.lostinmalloc.com' {
  class { 'nginx': }
}

The module does expect all the data to be provided through 'Hiera'. See Usage for examples on how to configure it.

Requirements

In terms of requirements lostinmalloc-nginx demands:

puppet >=4.0.0

Usage

As aforementioned, lostinmalloc-nginx expects all the data to be provided through Hiera. In the example below, we are going to set the following:

We are installing an extra dependency, cmatrix, through APT.
We are customizing Nginx so that:
- It will accept upload files up to 15 MB.
- Will store the pid in /var/run/nginx.pid.
- Will be executed as the www-data user.
- Will have 8 workers.
- Each worker will handle up to 768 connections.

---
nginx::params::extra_dependencies:
  cmatrix: 'apt'
nginx::params::config:
  client_max_body_size: '15M'
  pid: '/var/run/nginx.pid'
  user: 'www-data'
  worker_connections: '768'
  worker_processes: '8'

Reference

Attributes written in italic, are optional:

extra_dependencies: a hash representing extra dependencies that the client wants to install. The information must be provided in the form package_name : provider. lostinmalloc-nginx takes care to merge both the mandatory and the extra dependencies into a unique hash and install any of the dependencies that are currently not present.

Limitations

lostinmalloc-nginx has been developed and tested on the following setup(s):

      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable

      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
      as of the date such litigation is filed.

   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You

          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and

      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
          stating that You changed the files; and

      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
          the Derivative Works; and

      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside

      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
      the conditions stated in this License.

   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.

   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.

   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.

   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
