Change nginx user #207

Closed krzyzakp closed 6 years ago

krzyzakp commented 6 years ago

We wanted to run on Debian family (Ubuntu 16.04) nginx as user nginx, not www-data as it's defined by default for this family. We set nginx_user, but it's not working. As I dig in, it's due to tasks/main.yml including vars/{os}.yml - what due to our hash_behaviour = true in ansible.cfg, does hiera merge and overwrite with data from OS specific yaml file.

@krzyzakp Thanks for the report.

If you want, you can submit a PR like that :

in vars/*.yml rename all nginx_user in nginx_default_user
add nginx_default_user: nginx in vars/empty.yml
in defaults/main.yml change nginx_user: nginx to nginx_user: "{{nginx_default_user}}"

It should solve the problem
