NGINX Controller Publish API
This repository has been archived. There will likely be no further development on the project and security vulnerabilities may be unaddressed.
Upsert (create and update) API Publishing definitions in NGINX Controller. Publishing an API is the act of linking an API definition version to a Gateway(s). The result of configuring this link is that the configuration is applied to the Gateway and published to a Developer Portal (if one is configured).
Requirements

Dependencies
Example Playbook
To use this role you can create a playbook such as the following (let's name it nginx_controller_publish_api.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: Publish the API version include_role: name: nginxinc.nginx_controller_publish_api vars: nginx_controller_environmentName: "prod" nginx_controller_appName: "sports-results" nginx_controller_publish_api: metadata: name: "f1-v1-prod" displayName: "F1 Results �" tags: - tagOne - tagTwo desiredState: apiDefinitionVersionRef: ref: "/services/api-definitions/f1-results/versions/v1" gatewayRefs: - ref: "/services/environments/prod/gateways/apigw"
You can then run ansible-playbook nginx_controller_publish_api.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_publish_api.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_publish_api.yaml -e "@nginx_controller_publish_api_vars.yaml"
