nginx Cookbook

Build Status

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'] - Location for Nginx configuration.
  • node['nginx']['log_dir'] - Location for Nginx logs.
  • node['nginx']['user'] - User that Nginx will run as.
  • node['nginx']['group] - Group for Nginx.
  • node['nginx']['binary'] - Path to the Nginx binary.
  • node['nginx']['init_style'] - How to run Nginx as a service when using nginx::source. 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 the nginx 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.
  • node['nginx']['upstart']['runlevels'] - String of runlevels in the format '2345' which determines which runlevels nginx will start at when entering and stop at when leaving.
  • node['nginx']['upstart']['respawn_limit'] - Respawn limit in upstart stanza format, count followed by space followed by interval in seconds.
  • node['nginx']['pid'] - Location of the PID file.
  • node['nginx']['keepalive'] - Whether to use keepalive_timeout, any value besides "on" will leave that option out of the config.

  • node['nginx']['repo_source'] - 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 the yum::epel recipe, 'nginx' will use the nginx::repo recipe, and setting no value will not add any additional repositories.
  • node['nginx']['sts_max_age'] - Enable Strict Transport Security for all apps (See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Strict_Transport_Security). This attribute adds the following header:

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.

socketproxy

This will add socketproxy support to your nginx proxy setup. Do not
include this recipe directly. Instead, add it to the
node['nginx']['default']['modules'] array (see below).

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 the http_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 - provides nginx_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 the upload_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.
