openshift-nginx-template

OpenShift nginx templates, the templates use RPM based docker images as well as config maps instead of building docker images with new configuration each time

Usage

In order to use the template, use the following oc command:

oc process -f nginx-template-centos7.yaml NGINX_ROUTE_HOSTNAME=<nginx route hostname without http> | oc create -f -

or

oc process -f nginx-template-rhel7.yaml NGINX_ROUTE_HOSTNAME=<nginx route hostname without http> | oc create -f -

After modifying the nginx.conf file inside the config map you need to let nginx load the new configuration, either to you can restart the container, or can execute the following command inside the container without restarting:

nginx -s reload

Other Parameters:

NGINX_VERSION: "Specify the nginx version you are using, valid options are: nginx-112, nginx-110, nginx-18"
