The Ansible playbook installs everything needed to serve static files from a nginx server over HTTPS. | |
The server pass A rating on [SSL Labs](https://www.ssllabs.com/). | |

2. Setup an Ubuntu 16.04 server accessible over ssh | |
3. Create `/etc/ansible/hosts` according to template below and change example.com to your domain | |
4. Copy the rest of the files to an empty directory (`playbook.yml` in the root of that folder and the rest in the `templates` subfolder) | |
5. Run `ansible-playbook playbook.yml` | |
6. Copy your (static HTML) code to `/var/www/example.com` (`example.com` replaced with your domain) | |
7. Restart nginx (`systemctl restart nginx`) |

@diablozzq this is great. what if need to handle 2 sub domains
example: domain_name: aaa.example.com
and domain_name_2: bbbb.example.com
@diablozzq this is great. what if need to handle 2 sub domains
example:
domain_name: aaa.example.com
anddomain_name_2: bbbb.example.com
you can do like this: -d www.aname.com -d api.aname.com -d api2.aname.com
also you can use wildcard way
Thanks for this!
FYI, on my Ubuntu 16.04.6 server with certbot 0.27.0
, I had to change the cronjob from
job: letsencrypt --renew certonly -n --webroot -w /var/www/letsencrypt -m {{ letsencrypt_email }} --agree-tos -d {{ domain_name }} && service nginx reload
to
job: letsencrypt --renew-by-default certonly -n --webroot -w /var/www/letsencrypt -m {{ letsencrypt_email }} --agree-tos -d {{ domain_name }} && service nginx reload
Thank you man! This saved me hours!
pre_tasks:
- raw: apt-get install -y python-simplejson
for Gentoo replace
pre_tasks:
- raw: emerge -v dev-python/simplejson
thanks man! amazing work.
Great stuff man, thanks a lot!
why u not using proxy nginx with buffer?
thanks for this! nowadays python-simplejson
is python3-simplejson
(tested on debian 11)
--renew-by-default
thanks for the tip
This is amazing. Worked without any major modifications on ubuntu 19.10 on a raspberry pi.
I did the following changes
