Nginx Domain Setup 🚀

Description

This role bootstraps per-domain Nginx configuration: it requests TLS certificates, applies global modifiers, deploys a ready-made vHost file, and can optionally lock down access via OAuth2.

Overview

A higher-level orchestration wrapper, nginx-domain-setup ties together several lower-level roles:

1. nginx-modifier-all – applies global tweaks and includes.
2. nginx-https-get-cert – obtains Let’s Encrypt certificates.
3. Domain template deployment – copies a Jinja2 vHost from nginx-docker-reverse-proxy.
4. docker-oauth2-proxy (optional) – protects the site with OAuth2.

The result is a complete, reproducible domain rollout in a single playbook task.

Purpose

Provide one-stop, idempotent domain provisioning for Nginx-based homelabs or small production environments.

Features

• End-to-end TLS — certificate retrieval and secure headers included.
• Template-driven vHosts — choose basic or ws_generic flavours (or your own).
• Conditional OAuth2 — easily toggle authentication per application.
• Handler-safe — automatically triggers an Nginx reload when templates change.
• Composable — designed to be called repeatedly for many domains.
