Role Name

This role configures an nginx server to reverse-proxy an application server. It has ssl and no-ssl nginx configs.

See https://github.com/sweet-tooth-clojure/ansible-roles for a quick overview and instructions. See Deploying Your First Clojure App ...From the Shadows for an introductory guide to Ansible and in-depth explanation of this role.

Role Variables

I tried to take care to parameterize as much as I could, but to define defaults such that you're only required to define a couple vars for everything to work. If you define clojure_uberjar_webapp_app_name, then flyingmachine.clojure-uberjar-webapp-common will define clojure_uberjar_webapp_app_name, which is used by most of the vars velow.

For example, if your domain is foo.bar.com, the app name will be foo-bar-com. Your app's site config will be upload to /etc/nginx/sites_available/foo-bar-com.conf, and you'll find logs under /var/log/nginx/foo-bar-com.access.log. I find that this consistency makes it easier to navigate the filesystem.

There are some references to datomic vars, but those are optional. I hope to improve the roles such that this role contains no references to datomic.

Variable Description
clojure_uberjar_webapp_nginx_dir Directory containing nginx configs
clojure_uberjar_webapp_nginx_server_name Used to set server_name in the nginx site config; defaults to clojure_uberjar_webapp_domain
clojure_uberjar_webapp_nginx_upstream_name Name within config to refer to the java app upstream
clojure_uberjar_webapp_nginx_sites_available path to nginx's sites_available directory; mainly there for DRYness
clojure_uberjar_webapp_nginx_sites_enabled path to nginx's sites_enabled directory; mainly there for DRYness
clojure_uberjar_webapp_nginx_static_location URL base for serving static files. e.g. http://foo.com/static/logo.png should serve a static file
clojure_uberjar_webapp_nginx_static_alias where to look on server filesystem for static files
clojure_uberjar_webapp_nginx_use_ssl Set to True to use ssl
clojure_uberjar_webapp_nginx_letsencrypt_dir where letsencrypt files live
clojure_uberjar_webapp_nginx_additional_config gets appended to end of site's nginx config file
