@matigo tell me this - you've got some kind of nginx based webserver that you need to deploy 10 to a 100 of. You write a config and you use… what? Ansible to post that config as it's configuring the server? Why not have the option for telling Ansible to setup the server and then talk to an nginx API to configure it? It's one of those, "how do I talk to it" things, which I never thought of till I was exposed to the problem. Once I thought about it, makes sense for nginx to expose something, no? Or am I just overthinking it?
@matigo I don't have HA servers! :D :D
I've heard this complaint about nginx quite a lot - lack of API or programmatic way to configure them. Mostly in the corporate setting, in cloud deployments. So thought to look into it.
@jws same here… Just saw some mentions of it and thought to ask the social brain…
caddyserver vs nginx anyone? Is the primary draw the API based configuration mechanism?
