Some standard modules are not avialable on all supported Platforms about ansible-role-nginx HOT 11 CLOSED

Thanks for creating this issue!

I think this is happening because all modules are installed using Ansible's package module, but to work with NGINX in FreeBSD you need to use ports and the portinstall module.

Let me do some further research and get back to you.

Cheers,

So, on FreeBSD, when you install the default nginx port you choose which modules to install when running make. Doing this in an automated way is not trivial, with the best solution probably being to implement a way to create a build options file at runtime that then gets read when building the nginx port.

Alternatively, for now, a workaround would be to manually modify the value at https://github.com/nginxinc/ansible-role-nginx/blob/master/tasks/opensource/install-oss.yml#L26 from nginx to nginx-full, and not enable modules on the role. The nginx-full port builds pretty much all modules, which you should then be able to normally load from your NGINX configuration file.

since this role uses nginx packag from your repository, would it be possible get your repository to host all the binaries of plugins for a given os (eg freebsd, openbsd) and then the role would pull out of there?
Meaning that you would have to build it (using the ports tree, as you noted, but then host the resulting packages). This way individual users do not have to build it.

(sorry if I am misunderstanding this).

In FreeBSD the NGINX open source packages are hosted in the ports collection, and that's something that I do not foresee will change in the foreseeable future. There's some potential fixes, like I mentioned in the previous comment, but it'll take some time before a decision is made about how to best proceed.

ah, ok. I understand now. Basically for FreeBSD (and openBSD) this role, will actually build nginx on the target host.

Your workaround also should me to solve: uknown directive 'stream' error.
That I keep getting on FreeBSD 12.

Installing nginx-full on FreeBSD seems to be a requirement overall, because the 'stream' module is also not avialable in 'nginx' standard build (the stream module is assumed to be available in the role -- because it allows to specify stream_enable option)

Unfortunately using nginx-full fails for me..

at this stage it seems that getting this work on FreeBSD is quite a bit beyond my skillset.
Will have to eliminate right now FreeBSD from the supported hosts for the system I am working on.

Thx for all your help sofar.

Sorry for all the trouble you are running into @vladp. FreeBSD support is still very much in an early development phase, so thanks for bearing with us!

That is a very interesting find indeed too, it may be worth changing the default port to nginx-full in that case, at least for the time being.

from ansible-role-nginx.

Thank you, yes -- it seems that doing nginx-full for FreeBSD would solve lots of the module issues.
The trouble for me was that when building nginx-full from Ports, it seems that lots of packages needed to be installed prior to that port to build.

Normally FreeBSD would download recursively the source for packages it needed, but it did not (so first it was missing ImageMagick6, then when installed it using package module, it started complaining that apache24 needed to be installed... and so on).

Overall it meant that either package system was not working to figure out source dependencies, recursively... or something else. Plus, I realized, that nginx-full requires so many depedencies (including X system, wayland) -- that it would take hours if not a day to building nginx-full and resulting system (at least in my case would run out of space allocated for the target host).

Which is why, I thought, that if nginx-full was, indeed, needed -- it had to come from a binary package (eg using ' pkg install nginx-full' from FreeBSD official binary package repol (or may be you repo in the future ) -- rather than building it.

from ansible-role-nginx.

Oh I see. Well, you can always install NGINX from FreeBSD's package repository, but it tends to be a couple versions behind mainline. Nonetheless (#87) also adds the option to choose between a ports or package install. Hopefully that should add more options.

FWIW. Use portinstall/portupgrade. This will install the dependencies and will use packages if available.

portinstall --upward-recursive --use-packages www/nginx-full

This role will install www/nginx by default. It can be configured to install www/nginx-full. For example:

- hosts: test_03
  connection: ssh
  remote_user: admin
  become: yes
  become_user: root
  become_method: sudo

  vars:
    nginx_version: '-full'
    # nginx_version: ''
    nginx_debug_output: true
    nginx_bsd_update_ports: false
    nginx_bsd_install_packages: true
    nginx_bsd_portinstall_use_packages: true
    nginx_modules:
      njs: false
      perl: false
      waf: false
      geoip: false
      image_filter: false
      rtmp: false
      xslt: false

The latest release (0.13.0) should address this issue. Feel free to reopen the issue if it's still not working!
