Webserver HTTPS Provisioning 🚀
Description
The sys-svc-webserver-https role extends a basic Nginx installation by wiring in everything you need to serve content over HTTPS:
- Ensures your Nginx server is configured for SSL/TLS.
- Pulls in Let’s Encrypt ACME challenge handling.
- Applies global cleanup of unused domain configs.
This role is built on top of your existing sys-svc-webserver-core
role, and it automates the end-to-end process of turning HTTP sites into secure HTTPS sites.
Overview
When you apply sys-svc-webserver-https, it will:
- Include the
sys-svc-webserver-core
role to install and configure Nginx. - Clean up any stale vHost files under
sys-svc-cln-domains
. - Deploy the Let’s Encrypt challenge-and-redirect snippet from
sys-svc-letsencrypt
. - 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.
