ansible_role_nginx_vhosts

Configure nginx vhosts with Ansible

Requirements

Nginx needs to be installed and configured, many vars and assumptions are tightly coupled with this nginx role. For Lets Encrypt support the certbot role is required.

See the full example for a complete playbook.

  become: yes

  roles:
  - nginx
