Ansible Role For NGINX

This Ansible role that installs nginx and its dependencies:

• libpcre3
• libpcre3-dev
• libgd2-xpm-dev
• libgeoip-dev
• libpam0g-dev
• zlibc
• zlib1g
• zlib1g-dev

This role requires self-signed certs placed in files/ssl or third-party certs placed in {{ app_name }}/files/ssl/ (found in the root of the ansible roles directory).

Finally it sets the default timezone for the server. We use this as the base image for all our Ruby and Node.js applications.
