knife supermarket download nginx
nginx Cookbook
Installs nginx from package OR source code and sets up configuration handling similar to Debian's Apache2 scripts.
Requirements
Cookbooks
The following cookbooks are direct dependencies because they're used for common "default" functionality.
- build-essential (for nginx::source)
- ohai (for nginx::ohai_plugin)
The following cookbook is not a strict dependency because its use can be controlled by an attribute, so it may not be a common "default."
- runit (for nginx::source)
- On RHEL family distros, the "yum" cookbook is required for
recipe[yum::epel]
. - On Ubuntu, when using Nginx.org's stable package,
recipe[apt::default]
is required.
Platforms
The following platforms are supported and tested under test kitchen:
- Ubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 12.04
- CentOS 5.8, 6.3
Other Debian and RHEL family distributions are assumed to work.
Attributes
Node attributes for this cookbook are logically separated into different files. Some attributes are set only via a specific recipe.
default
Generally used attributes. Some have platform specific values. See attributes/default.rb
. "The Config" refers to "nginx.conf" the main config file.
-
node['nginx']['dir']

. Values can be "runit", "upstart", "init" or "bluepill". When using runit or bluepill, those recipes will be included as well and are dependencies of this cookbook. Recipes are not included for upstart, it is assumed that upstart is built into the platform you are using (ubuntu or el6). This attribute is not used in thenginx
recipe because the package manager's init script style for the platform is assumed. Upstart is never set as a default as this represents a change in behavior, if you are running ubuntu or el6 and want to use upstart, please set this attribute in a role or similar. -
node['nginx']['upstart']['foreground']
- Set this to true if you want upstart to run nginx in the foreground, set to false if you want upstart to detach and track the process via pid. -

- when installed from a package this attribute affects which yum repositories, if any, will be added before installing the nginx package. The default value of 'epel' will use theyum::epel
recipe, 'nginx' will use thenginx::repo
recipe, and setting no value will not add any additional repositories.

Recipes
This cookbook provides three main recipes for installing Nginx.
-
default.rb
- Use this recipe if you have a native package for Nginx. -
repo.rb
- The developer of Nginx also maintain stable packages for several platforms. -
source.rb
- Use this recipe if you do not have a native package for Nginx, or if you want to install a newer version than is available, or if you have custom module compilation needs.
Several recipes are related to the source
recipe specifically. See
that recipe's section below for a description.
default
The default recipe will install Nginx as a native package for the
system through the package manager and sets up the configuration
according to the Debian site enable/disable style with sites-enabled
using the nxensite
and nxdissite
scripts. The nginx service will
be managed with the normal init scripts that are presumably included
in the native package.
Includes the ohai_plugin
recipe so the plugin is available.
ohai_plugin
This recipe provides an Ohai plugin as a template. It is included by
both the default
and source
recipes.
authorized_ips
Sets up configuration for the authorized_ip
nginx module.
source
This recipe is responsible for building Nginx from source. It ensures
that the required packages to build Nginx are installed (pcre,
openssl, compile tools). The source will be downloaded from the
node['nginx']['source']['url']
. The node['nginx']['user']
will be
created as a system user. If you want to use existing user set
node['nginx']['source']['use_existing_user']
to true
. The appropriate
configuration and log directories and config files will be created
as well according to the attributes node['nginx']['dir']
and
node['nginx']['log_dir']
.
The recipe attempts to detect whether additional modules should be
added to the configure command through recipe inclusion (see below),
and whether the version or configuration flags have changed and should
trigger a recompile.
The nginx service will be set up according to
node['nginx']['init_style']
. Available options are:
- runit: uses runit cookbook and sets up
runit_service
. - bluepill: uses bluepill cookbook and sets up
bluepill_service
. - anything else (e.g., "init") will use the nginx init script template.
RHEL/CentOS This recipe should work on RHEL/CentOS with "init" as
the init style.
The following recipes are used to build module support into Nginx. To
use a module in the nginx::source
recipe, add its recipe name to the
attribute node['nginx']['source']['modules']
.
-
ipv6.rb
- enables IPv6 support -
http_echo_module.rb
- downloads thehttp_echo_module
module and enables it as a module when compiling nginx. -
http_geoip_module.rb
- installs the GeoIP libraries and data files and enables the module for compilation. -
http_gzip_static_module.rb
- enables the module for compilation. -
http_perl_module.rb
- enables embedded Perl for compilation. -
http_realip_module.rb
- enables the module for compilation and creates the configuration. -
http_ssl_module.rb
- enables SSL for compilation. -
http_stub_status_module.rb
- providesnginx_status
configuration and enables the module for compilation. -
naxsi_module
- enables the naxsi module for the web application firewall for nginx. -
passenger
- builds the passenger gem and configuration for "mod_passenger
". -
upload_progress_module.rb
- builds theupload_progress
module and enables it as a module when compiling nginx. -
openssl_source.rb
- downloads and uses custom OpenSSL source when compiling nginx
Adding New Modules
To add a new module to be compiled into nginx in the source recipe,
the node's run state is manipulated in a recipe, and the module as a
recipe should be added to node['nginx']['source']['modules']
. For
example:
node.run_state['nginx_configure_flags'] = node.run_state['nginx_configure_flags'] | ['--with-http_stub_status_module']
The recipe will be included by recipe[nginx::source]
automatically,
adding the configure flags. Add any other configuration templates or
other resources as required. See the recipes described above for
examples.
Ohai Plugin
The ohai_plugin
recipe includes an Ohai plugin. It will be
automatically installed and activated, providing the following
attributes via ohai, no matter how nginx is installed (source or
package):
-
node['nginx']['version']
- version of nginx -
node['nginx']['configure_arguments']
- options passed to./configure
when nginx was built -
node['nginx']['prefix']
- installation prefix -
node['nginx']['conf_path']
- configuration file path
In the source recipe, it is used to determine whether control
attributes for building nginx have changed.
Usage
Include the recipe on your node or role that fits how you wish to
install Nginx on your system per the recipes section above. Modify the
attributes as required in your role to change how various
configuration is applied per the attributes section above. In general,
override attributes in the role should be used when changing
attributes.
There's some redundancy in that the config handling hasn't been
separated from the installation method (yet), so use only one of the
recipes, default or source.
