Requirements

When using metrics exporter, golang should be installed on deployer host. Also systemd is currently needed.

Let's encrypt

This role can automatically generate letencrypt certificates. To do this you need an email previously used for some let's encrypt certificate and set some variables:

• nginx_letsencrypt_email
• use server_name directive in nginx_sites for sites which need certificate.

Examples

Use it in a playbook as follows:

- hosts: all
  become: true
  roles:
    - SoInteractive.nginx
  

Whenever needed, you can pass nginx_dh_remove_old=true to ansible-playbook execution to remove previous Diffie-Hellman parameters

Have a look at the defaults/main.yml for role variables that can be overridden.
