nginx-proxy cookbook

Automatically set up Nginx as a proxy to backend application servers
or Apache. Provides a definition to use in recipes, and automatically
configures proxies based on attributes.

This cookbook's home is at https://github.com/3ofcoins/nginx-proxy/

Requirements

  • nginx
  • apache2 (included only if apache backend is used)

Usage

This cookbook provides an nginx_proxy definition that can be used
directly in recipes, and uses it to automatically configure proxies
based on attributes.

To use the definition, include the cookbook in your cookbook's
depends, optionally add recipe[nginx-proxy::setup] to the run
list, and use nginx_proxy in your recipes.

nginx_proxy definition

Parameters:

  • name - name of the file in sites-available/; default value for server_name
  • server_name - server name for nginx
  • ssl_key - basename of SSL key
  • ssl_key_path - full path to SSL private key, defaults to "#{ssl_key}.key" in node['nginx_proxy']['ssl_key_dir']
  • ssl_certificate_path - full path to SSL certificate (full PEM file including intermediate certificates). Defaults to "#{ssl_key}.pem" in node['nginx_proxy']['ssl_certificate_dir]
  • port - port on localhost for the backend
  • apache (value optional) - if provided and true, configure Apache to listen on node['nginx_proxy']['apache_port'] and use it as a backend
  • url - full URL to backend, can be used instead of port or apache
  • redirect - if true, redirect to the url rather than proxy its content
  • aka - can be set to one or more aliases that will redirect to the proxy. Last parameter may be a hash specifying parameters for nginx_proxy calls for the aliases (e.g. SSL keys)

Examples

nginx_proxy 'icinga.example.com' do
  apache
  ssl_key 'star.example.com'
end
nginx_proxy 'nagios.example.com' do
  url 'https://icinga.example.com'
  redirect true
end
nginx_proxy 'new.example.com' do
  apache
  ssl_key 'star.example.com'
  aka 'old.example.com', 'yet-older.example.com',
      ssl_key: 'star.example.com'
end
nginx_proxy 'example.info' do
  url 'http://example.com/'
end
nginx_proxy 'site.example.com' do
  port 4000
end

Data-driven recipe

If you include nginx-proxy in your run list, it will process the
node['nginx_proxy']['proxies'] attribute hash to call the nginx_proxy
definition: each key will be passed as a name, and values are
interpreted in the following way:

  • if value is 'apache' or :apache, then apache parameter is set
  • if value is a number or a string that is a number, then port parameter is set to the provided value
  • if value is a string that's not a number, then url parameter is set to the value
  • if value is a dictionary, it's applied as parameters

Example

node['nginx_proxy']['proxies']['nagios.example.com'] = :apache
node['nginx_proxy']['proxies']['site.example.com'] = 4000
node['nginx_proxy']['proxies']['example.info'] = 'http://example.com'
node['nginx_proxy']['proxies']['new.example.com']['apache'] = true
node['nginx_proxy']['proxies']['new.example.com']['ssl_key'] = 'star.example.com
node['nginx_proxy']['proxies']['new.example.com']['aka'] = [
  'old.example.com', 'yet-older.example.com',
  ssl_key: 'star.example.com' ]

Attributes

  • node['nginx_proxy']['proxies']['…'] -- proxies for data-driven recipe (see above)
  • node['nginx_proxy']['apache_port'] (default: 81) -- port to have Apache listen on when used as a backend
  • node['nginx_proxy']['ssl_key_dir'] (default: /etc/ssl/private) -- directory holding private SSL keys
  • node['nginx_proxy']['ssl_certificate_dir'] (default: /etc/ssl/certificates) -- directory holding public SSL certificates
