# Containerized Nginx on Container Optimized OS This module manages a `cloud-config` configuration that starts a containerized [Nginx](https://nginx.org/en/) service on Container Optimized OS, using the [hello demo image](https://hub.docker.com/r/nginxdemos/hello/). The resulting `cloud-config` can be customized in a number of ways: - a custom Nginx configuration can be set in `/etc/nginx/conf.d` using the `nginx_config` variable - additional files (eg for hosts or zone files) can be passed in via the `files` variable - a completely custom `cloud-config` can be passed in via the `cloud_config` variable, and additional template variables can be passed in via `config_variables` The default instance configuration inserts iptables rules to allow traffic on port 80. Logging and monitoring are enabled via the [Google Cloud Logging agent](https://cloud.google.com/container-optimized-os/docs/how-to/logging) configured for the instance via the `google-logging-enabled` metadata property, and the [Node Problem Detector](https://cloud.google.com/container-optimized-os/docs/how-to/monitoring) service started by default on boot. The module renders the generated cloud config in the `cloud_config` output, to be used in instances or instance templates via the `user-data` metadata. For convenience during development or for simple use cases, the module can optionally manage a single instance via the `test_instance` variable. If the instance is not needed the `instance*tf` files can be safely removed. Refer to the [top-level README](../README.md) for more details on the included instance. ## Examples ### Default configuration This example will create a `cloud-config` that uses the module's defaults, creating a simple hello web server showing host name and request id. ```hcl module "cos-nginx" { source = "./fabric/modules/cloud-config-container/nginx" } module "vm-nginx-tls" { source = "./fabric/modules/compute-vm" project_id = "my-project" zone = "europe-west8-b" name = "cos-nginx" network_interfaces = [{ network = "default" subnetwork = "gce" }] metadata = { user-data = module.cos-nginx.cloud_config google-logging-enabled = true } boot_disk = { initialize_params = { image = "projects/cos-cloud/global/images/family/cos-stable" type = "pd-ssd" size = 10 } } tags = ["http-server", "ssh"] } # tftest modules=1 resources=1 ``` ## Variables | name | description | type | required | default | |---|---|:---:|:---:|:---:| | [cloud_config](variables.tf#L17) | Cloud config template path.
