• Latest Release:
• Build-Status:
• Official Site: http://dracoblue.net/

pp-ningx is copyright 2014-2015 by DracoBlue http://dracoblue.net

Installation

Latest version from puppet forge:

$ puppet module install DracoBlue-nginx

Latest version from git.

$ cd modules
$ git clone https://github.com/DracoBlue/pp-nginx.git nginx

Usage

Example

# include package and server for nginx
include nginx

$server = "example.org"

# define new server (/vhost)
nginx::server { $server:
  content => "listen *:80;
server_name $server;"
}

# define a location
nginx::server::location { "assets":
  location => "~ ^/",
  server => Nginx::Server[$server],
  content => "root /var/www/assets/;"
}

Result (/etc/nginx/conf.d/example.org.conf):

server {
    listen *:80;
    server_name example.org;

    location ~ ^/ {
        root /var/www/assets/;
    }
}

Classes

There are only 3 classes in this puppet module.

• public:
  • include nginx: makes sure that nginx::package and nginx::service is available
• private
  • include nginx::package: is loaded by the nginx class, to ensure that the nginx package is available on the operating system
  • include nginx::service: is loaded by the nginx class, to ensure that the nginx service control is available

Types

See the Example at the beginning for explanation how the nginx::server and nginx::server::location type work together.

nginx::server

Adds a new server in a file called /etc/nginx/conf.d/$name.conf.

nginx::server { "example.org":
  server => 'example.org',
  content => "listen *:80;
server_name example.org;"
}

See tests/simple.example.org.pp for more examples.

nginx::server::location

Adds a location block definition to the given $server.

nginx::server::location { "assets":
  server => Nginx::Server['example.org'],
  location => '~ ^/assets/(.+)',
  content => "root /var/www;"
}

See tests/simple-locations.example.org.pp for more examples.

nginx::server::location::alias

Adds an alias definition to map to a $directory for to the given $location.

nginx::server::location::alias { "assets-directory":
  location => Nginx::Server::Location['assets'],
  directory => '/var/www/assets/$1'
}

See tests/alias-location.example.org.pp for more examples.

nginx::server::location::access

Adds allow and deny definitions to a given $location.

nginx::server::location::access { "assets-directory":
  location => Nginx::Server::Location['assets'],
  allow => ["127.0.0.1", "10.10.10.0/26"],
  deny => ["192.168.0.1"]
}

The access fragment will always put allow definitions before deny definitions. If you want to have some deny rules before the allow rules, use two access definitions (like in tests/access-location-with-multiple-blocks.example.org.pp).

See tests/access-location.example.org.pp for more examples.

nginx::server::location::auth_basic

Adds auth_basic and auth_basic_user_file definitions to a given $location.

Be sure that nginx can access the absolute path given to in $user_file. The $text must not contain quotation marks (").

nginx::server::location::auth_basic { "assets-directory":
  location => Nginx::Server::Location['assets'],
  text => 'This is restricted',
  user_file => '/etc/nginx/.htpasswd'
}

See tests/auth-basic-location.example.org.pp for more examples.

(private) nginx::server::location::fragment

This type is used within nginx::server::location::access and other nginx::server::location::* types to generate the location fragment into the nginx::server::location.

Example usage (taken from nginx::server::location::access):

define nginx::server::location::access (
  $allow = [],
  $deny = [],
  $content = undef,
  $config_template = "nginx/conf.d/location/access.conf.erb",

  $location = undef,
  $ensure = present,
  $order = "050",
) {
  validate_array($allow)
  validate_array($deny)

  nginx::server::location::fragment { "access_${name}":
    content => template($config_template),

    location => $location,
    ensure => $ensure,
    order => $order,
  }
}

Templates

This area will contain some templates, which are frequently used. They are available in the manifests/templates/ folder.

nginx::templates::www_rewrite_http_server

Redirect a given domain from www.example.org to example.org with an own nginx server entry.

nginx::templates::www_rewrite_http_server { "example-www-redirect":
  server_name => "example.org",
}

Will generate:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name www.example.org;
    rewrite ^(.*) http://example.org$1 permanent;
}

Run tests

$ make test

Hint: The tests will need sudo rights and will write into /tmp/pp-nginx-results. Every other file should not be affected.
