|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a complete Ansible playbook to configure Nginx with basic authentication using htpasswd.
|
||
|
|
This playbook installs Nginx, configures a static website, and secures access with basic authentication.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|

|
|
- have a look at the hosts_vars:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cat host_vars/mistergwen.site.yml
|
||
|
|
domain_name: "mistergwen.site"
|
||
|
|
htpasswd_file: "/etc/nginx/.htpasswd"
|
||
|
|
...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- then launch the deployment script:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
