Nginx Configuration Generator
nginx-confgen is a simple preprocessor and macro system for nginx and nginx-like configuration files. It support variable substitution, macro expansion and using the output of arbitrary commands to generate config files.
Example
pre_set $certdir /etc/nginx-certificates/;
# Fetch the 'resolver' from /etc/resolv.conf
pre_exec $nameserver "grep nameserver /etc/resolv.conf \\
| head -n 1 | sed 's/^nameserver //'";
resolver $nameserver;
# Convenient macro to create a HTTPS virtual host
macro vhost $domain @aliases &block {
server {
listen [::]:443 ssl;
server_name $domain @aliases;
ssl_certificate $certdir/$domain/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key $certdir/$domain/privkey.pem;
pre_if -f $certdir/$domain/ocsp.der {
ssl_stapling_file $certdir/$domain/ocsp.der;
}
