nginx-container

Role used to download, configure and run nginx-alpine container

Requirements

Ubuntu 14.04 is tested.

This role uses Ansible's docker module, so requirements are the same.

# List of configuration files to be rendered as templates into /etc/nginx/ folder
# - src: './files/default.conf.j2'

#   dst: '/etc/static'
#   mode: 'ro' # optional

These variables are optional and can be changed if needed
