Nginx Server installer

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:

./deploy.sh

Steps

Installation of Nginx: The playbook installs Nginx and ensures it is started and enabled.
Creation of the website directory: A directory is created to host the website files.
Creation of a simple homepage: A simple HTML page is created for the website.
Installation of apache2-utils: This package is necessary to use the htpasswd command.
Creation of the htpasswd file: A .htpasswd file is created with a username and password.
Configuration of the Nginx site: The nginx_site.conf.j2 template is used to configure Nginx with basic authentication.
Activation of the Nginx site: The site is enabled by creating a symbolic link in the sites-enabled directory.
Testing the Nginx configuration: The Nginx configuration is tested before restarting the service.
Restarting Nginx: Nginx is restarted to apply the changes.
