AWX - deploy nginx.conf updates from git

[steve flitcroft]

Hi, I am new to awx and ansible. Could someone show me the best way to pull the latest nginx conf file from a git repo and deploy across a cluster of nginx boxes. Do I have to clone the repo to the ansible server then do a copy task to all hosts and a notify task to restart nginx? Can I do this in a single job template? Any examples welcome.

Thanks

You could do this one of two ways, both with a single playbook. The first method would use two plays, one local play to check out the configuration once, and a second play that operates on the nginx hosts and copies:

(I didn't test this playbook, FYI)

---

- hosts: local

  connection: local

  tasks:

  - name: git clone to the ansible server

    git: repo=git://foosball.example.org/path/to/repo.git dest=/tmp/checkout

- hosts: nginx-hosts

  tasks:

  - name: copy files to target hosts

    copy: src=/tmp/checkout/nginx.conf dest=/etc/nginx/

Another way would be to just run the git clone on the target boxes, and move the files into place:

---

- hosts: nginx

  tasks:

  - name: git clone to the target servers

    git: repo=git://foosball.example.org/path/to/repo.git dest=/tmp/checkout

  - name: copy the nginx config file into place

    command: cp /tmp/checkout/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf creates=/etc/nginx.conf

Something like that should do the trick.

The only other suggestion I had would be, if the git repo mirrors the /etc/nginx/ directory, you could just do the git checkout to that directory:

---

- hosts: nginx

  tasks:

  - name: clone nginx config

    git: repo=git://foosball.example.org/path/to/repo.git dest=/etc/nginx

That way it's just one step. You'd probably also want to add a handler notification to that, so nginx would be restarted if the git repository were updated.
