# Webserver HTTPS Provisioning 🚀

## Description
The **sys-stk-front-pure** role extends a basic Nginx installation by wiring in everything you need to serve content over HTTPS:

1. Ensures your Nginx server is configured for SSL/TLS.
2. Pulls in Let’s Encrypt ACME challenge handling.
3. Applies global cleanup of unused domain configs.

This role is built on top of your existing `sys-svc-webserver` role, and it automates the end-to-end process of turning HTTP sites into secure HTTPS sites.

---

## Overview

When you apply **sys-stk-front-pure**, it will:

1. **Include** the `sys-svc-webserver` role to install and configure Nginx.  
2. **Clean up** any stale vHost files under `sys-svc-cln-domains`.  
3. **Deploy** the Let’s Encrypt challenge-and-redirect snippet from `sys-svc-letsencrypt`.  
4. **Reload** Nginx automatically when any template changes.

All tasks are idempotent—once your certificates are in place and your configuration is set, Ansible will skip unchanged steps on subsequent runs.

- 🧹 **Domain Cleanup**  
  Removes obsolete or orphaned server blocks before enabling HTTPS.
