Introduction
************

``birdhousebuilder.recipe.nginx`` is a `Buildout`_ recipe to install `Nginx`_ from an `Anaconda`_ channel and to deploy a site configuration for your application.
This recipe is used by the `Birdhouse`_ project.

.. _`Buildout`: http://buildout.org/
.. _`Anaconda`: http://continuum.io/
.. _`Nginx`: http://nginx.org/
.. _`Mako`: http://www.makotemplates.org
.. _`Birdhouse`: http://bird-house.github.io

Usage
*****

The recipe requires that Anaconda is already installed. You can use the buildout option ``anaconda-home`` to set the prefix for the anaconda installation. Otherwise the environment variable ``CONDA_PREFIX`` (variable is set when activating a conda environment) is used as conda prefix.

The recipe will install the ``nginx`` package from a conda channel in a conda enviroment defined by ``CONDA_PREFIX``. The intallation folder is given by the ``prefix`` buildout option. It deploys a Nginx site configuration for your application. The configuration will be deployed in ``${prefix}/etc/nginx/conf.d/myapp.conf``. Nginx can be started with ``${prefix}/etc/init.d/nginx start``.

The recipe depends on ``birdhousebuilder.recipe.conda`` and ``zc.recipe.deployment``.

=================

This recipe supports the following options:

**anaconda-home**
Buildout option pointing to the root folder of the Anaconda installation. Default: ``$HOME/anaconda``.

Buildout part options for the program section:

**prefix**
Deployment option to set the prefix of the installation folder. Default: ``/``

**user**
Deployment option to set the run user.

**etc-user**
Deployment option to set the user of the ``/etc`` directory. Default: ``root``

**name**
The name of your application.

All additional options can be used as parameters in your Nginx site configuration.

Example usage
=============

The following example ``buildout.cfg`` installs Nginx with a site configuration for ``myapp``::

[buildout]
parts = myapp_nginx

anaconda-home = /opt/anaconda

[myapp_nginx]
recipe = birdhousebuilder.recipe.nginx
name = myapp
prefix = /
user = www-data
input = ${buildout:directory}/templates/myapp_nginx.conf

hostname = localhost
port = 8081

An example Mako template for your Nginx configuration could look like this::

upstream myapp {
server unix:///tmp/myapp.socket fail_timeout=0;
}

server {
listen ${port};
server_name ${hostname};

root ${prefix}/var/www;
index index.html index.htm;

location / {
# checks for static file, if not found proxy to app
try_files $uri @proxy_to_phoenix;
}

location @proxy_to_phoenix {
proxy_pass http://myapp;
}
}
