As part of my ongoing love affair with Ansible I’ve written a simple NGINX role for use in some pet projects. https://github.com/litwicki/ansible-nginx
I have recently fallen deeply in love with Ansible; thanks largely to my new position at Fresh Consulting. As such I’ve found it incredibly fun to tinker and learn in my spare time and recently decided to tackle PHP7 for a variety of reasons. My pet project CamelotHub was a Read more…
