Nginx Server

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.

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.
