nginx config reloader

Utility to check user-supplied nginx config files, install them, and reload nginx configuration if they work.

Config files are taken from /data/web/nginx and moved to /etc/nginx/app. Nginx is used to test if the config is valid. If it is, the nginx config will be reloaded. If not, the original configuration files will be restored, and the error message from nginx will be placed in /data/web/nginx/nginx_error_output

Installation

python setup.py install

or

pip install -e git+https://github.com/ByteInternet/nginx_config_reloader#egg=nginx_config_reloader

nginx_config_reloader --daemon to fork to background and monitor changes

Building debian packages

To create a package from "master" branch (for production) run the "build.sh" script

./build.sh

This would create a release tag as well.

If you'd like to create a Debian package of a development branch (without tagging, etc.) you can use "_build_local.sh" script

./_build_local.sh
