Dependencies
Example Playbook
To use this role you can create a playbook such as the following (let's name it nginx_controller_application.yaml for the purposes of this example).
hosts: localhost gather_facts: no
vars: nginx_controller_user_email: "user@example.com" nginx_controller_user_password: "mySecurePassword" nginx_controller_fqdn: "controller.mydomain.com" nginx_controller_validate_certs: false
tasks:
name: Retrieve the NGINX Controller auth token include_role: name: nginxinc.nginx_controller_generate_token
name: Configure the application include_role: name: nginxinc.nginx_controller_application vars: nginx_controller_environmentName: "production-us-west" nginx_controller_app: metadata: name: "trading.acmefinancial.net" displayName: "Trading.ACMEFinancial.net" description: "Core Trading Application"
You can then run ansible-playbook nginx_controller_application.yaml to execute the playbook.
Alternatively, you can also pass/override any variables at run time using the --extra-vars or -e flag like so ansible-playbook nginx_controller_application.yaml -e "nginx_controller_user_email=user@company.com nginx_controller_user_password=notsecure nginx_controller_fqdn=controller.example.local nginx_controller_validate_certs=false"
You can also pass/override any variables by passing a yaml file containing any number of variables like so ansible-playbook nginx_controller_application.yaml -e "@nginx_controller_application_vars.yaml"
