trellis-nginx-build

An extension for trellis to allow nginx to be built from source enabling additional nginx modules like.

Requirements

This is made specific to trellis so it obviously requires a trellis install, along with some basic understanding of it's setup.

In your requirements.yml

## Build Nginx from source
- name: trellis-nginx-build
  src: newloong.trellis-nginx-build
  version: 1.0.8

Run ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml to install the new role.

Role Variables

There are too many to list here, look in:

defaults/main.yml

• TODO: Are variables accessible from group_vars?

Trellis Variables

A few changes need to happen in trellis files

trellis/group_vars/*/main.yml

Put nginx_install_type=source or package which also works to omit it from the roles as shown below.

trellis/roles/nginx/tasks/main.yml

To avoid installing from package put when: nginx_install_type == 'package' on both - name: Add Nginx PPA and - name: Install Nginx

Playbook

trellis/server.yml

... before nginx role ...
- { role: trellis-nginx-build, tags: [nginx], when: nginx_install_type == 'source' }
- { role: nginx, tags: [nginx] }

Nginx Includes | Wordpress Sites *.conf

If you add a directory like (below) with any named file like *.conf.j2 you can add module specific config.

trellis/nginx-includes/[yoursite.com]/pagespeed.conf.j2

pagespeed on;
pagespeed FileCachePath /var/ngx_pagespeed_cache;
pagespeed EnableFilters lazyload_images;
