Setting up NGINX using Ansible

In the last section, we made a project called nginx_install. We’ll continue with this project in order to have Ansible write the nginx.conf file for us. So let’s get started:

1. First, create a directory at roles/nginx_install/files with the mkdir -p roles/nginx_install/files command, then add your nginx.conf file to this folder.
2. Then, make a new task to copy the nginx.conf file. Edit the existing roles/nginx_install/tasks/main.yml file and add the following:

   - name: Copy nginx configuration file
     copy:
       src: nginx.conf
       dest: /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

       group: root
       mode: '0644'
     notify: restart nginx
