Usage Examples

nginx.yaml

nginx:
  client_body_buffer_size: 1024k
  virtual_hosts:
    vhost1:
      hostname: www.example.tld
      ssl: true
      ssl_certificate:
        - ./ssl/www.example.tld.crt
        - ./ssl/sub_chain.crt
        - ./ssl/ca.crt
      ssl_key:
        - ./ssl/www.example.tld.key
      upstream: backend:8080
    vhost2:
      hostname: www.example.tld
      upstream: backend:8080

Bootstraping nginx.yaml with a prefix /services/test/

./consul-kv-bootstrap -f nginx.yml -p /services/test/

Consul Database Result:

/services/test/nginx/client_body_buffer_size => 1024k
/services/test/nginx/virtual_hosts/vhost1/hostname => www.example.tld
/services/test/nginx/virtual_hosts/vhost1/ssl => true
/services/test/nginx/virtual_hosts/vhost1/ssl_certificate => ... (see below)
/services/test/nginx/virtual_hosts/vhost1/ssl_key => ... (see below)
/services/test/nginx/virtual_hosts/vhost1/upstream => backend:8080
/services/test/nginx/virtual_hosts/vhost2/hostname => www.example.tld
/services/test/nginx/virtual_hosts/vhost2/upstream => backend:8080

YAML Lists are used as concatenated file includes.

The resulting value of

/services/test/nginx/virtual_hosts/vhost1/ssl_certificate

would be like using cat to concatenate the 3 files

cat ./ssl/www.example.tld.crt ./ssl/sub_chain.crt ./ssl/ca.crt
