Ansible Role - Passenger with Nginx

Ansible Role: Passenger

Installs Passenger (with Nginx) on RedHat/CentOS (soon) or Debian/Ubuntu linux servers.

Requirements

None.

Role Variables

Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):

passenger_server_name: www.example.com

The server name (used in the Nginx virtual host configuration).

passenger_app_root: /opt/example/public

The passenger_root for your application (e.g. the public folder in a rails app).

passenger_app_env: production

The app environment passenger will load.

passenger_root: /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/phusion_passenger/locations.ini
passenger_ruby: /usr/bin/ruby

Values for passenger configuration directives inside nginx.conf. These defaults should generally work correctly, but if you build ruby on its own (as an example), the path to ruby may be different.

nginx_worker_processes: "{{ ansible_processor_vcpus | default(ansible_processor_count) }}"
nginx_worker_connections: "768"
nginx_keepalive_timeout: "65"
nginx_remove_default_vhost: true

Nginx directives.

Dependencies

None.

ansible-role-passenger's Issues

What happened to passenger_env_vars?

It looks like I need to specify RAILS_MASTER_KEY using passenger_env_vars. There was a previous request for this feature, but it was closed. It seems like this would still be helpful; any chance this could be added?

redmine env production and development

why give me multiple Phusion Passenger instances
in my redmine

redmine@172:~/4.11$ passenger-status 
*** Cleaning stale instance directory /tmp/passenger.UjIOTlH
    Warning: Operation not permitted @ rb_file_chown - /tmp/passenger.UjIOTlH/.
It appears that multiple Phusion Passenger instances are running. Please
select a specific one by running:

  passenger-status <NAME>

The following Phusion Passenger instances are running:

Name                       PID      Description
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
oR2Fxrti                   41650    nginx/1.18.0 Phusion_Passenger/6.0.6
XBKtMEPL                   89988    nginx/1.18.0 Phusion_Passenger/6.0.6

database

production:
  adapter: mysql2
  database: redmine
  host: localhost
  username: redmine
  password: "redmine"
  # Use "utf8" instead of "utfmb4" for MySQL prior to 5.7.7
  encoding: utf8mb4
  pool: 10
 
development:
  adapter: mysql2
  database: redmine
  host: localhost
  username: redmine
  password: "redmine"
  # Use "utf8" instead of "utfmb4" for MySQL prior to 5.7.7
  encoding: utf8mb4
  pool: 10

how i can let production and development in same app groub

CI Build is failing due to 500 error in demo Rails app requests

See: https://travis-ci.org/geerlingguy/ansible-role-passenger/jobs/494342387

Debugging locally to see what's up.

setup fails on centos due to ubuntu key lookup

I get the following error:

"msg": "Failed to find required executable apt-key"

Keyserver Timeout

When running this role, I get a timeout error when trying to add the passenger apt key in this step:

ansible-role-passenger/tasks/main.yml

Lines 11 to 16 in c48f331

	# Passenger repository setup.
	- name: Add Passenger apt key.
	apt_key:
	keyserver: keyserver.ubuntu.com
	id: 561F9B9CAC40B2F7
	state: present

If i modify the keyserver item to use hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80, the task does not timeout and I am able to grab the key successfully.

I'm not sure if this is isolated to my install only or others experiencing a similar issue?

Ability to include passenger_env_vars

Would it make sense to add the ability to have passenger_env_var entries, similar to how this post does it?

Or, perhaps, there's just a different/better way of including env vars that I'm not aware of.

Ubuntu 18.04 build is failing

After merging #8 and adding geerlingguy/ubuntu1804 to the test suite, I am seeing build failures, and I dug through the error HTML and found:

tzinfo-data is not present. Please add gem 'tzinfo-data' to your Gemfile and run bundle install

Example build failure: https://travis-ci.org/geerlingguy/ansible-role-passenger/jobs/477139348

passenger_ruby variable not picked up on Ubuntu

The nginx module config is linked, and doesn't implement the passenger_ruby variable.

See

ansible-role-passenger/tasks/main.yml

Line 34 in fa01d37

- name: Ensure passenger module is enabled.

unknown directive "passenger_root"

After running this Role, Nginx fails to start (rebooting the machine results in the same situation):

The error message is: unknown directive "passenger_root" in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:65

If I comment this line out, then the same error message comes up for passenger_ruby.

Operating system: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS (bionic)

$ which passenger
/usr/bin/passenger

$ passenger --version
Phusion Passenger 5.3.4

Getting message 'The repository does not have a Release' file on Xenial

I'm getting an error similar to the one I used to get in node.js role:

I wonder how pulling passenger apt binaries https://oss-binaries.phusionpassenger.com/apt/passenger | | {{ansible_distribution_release}} main triggers pulling http://ppa.launchpad.net/chris-lea/node.js/ubuntu xenial Release?

Installs Passenger (with Nginx) on RedHat/CentOS (soon) or Debian/Ubuntu linux servers.

Any update on the RedHat/CentOS support for this role? Thanks!
