Openshift Nginx Cartridge
A cartridge for openshift that enables Nginx to be used as the web server.
Installation
To install this cartridge use the cartridge reflector when creating an app
rhc create-app myapp http://cartreflect-claytondev.rhcloud.com/reflect?github=rexdf/Openshift-google-mirror
Configuration
The cartridge installs two config files. One at $OPENSHIFT_NGINX_DIR/conf/nginx.conf which gets loaded by the executable
and sets up specific app configuration such as logs and pid files.
The config then includes another nginx.conf which must exist at $OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR/nginx.conf. This config should
contain all your server specific set up including which ip/port to listen on.
The repo nginx.conf is actually seen in your repository as nginx.conf.erb so environment variables can be used
in the config. Every time the server starts it first processes nginx.conf.erb.
A public/ folder is included where static content is served by default. However, as can be seen in the nginx.conf.erb file it
is entirely configurable and only exists as a form of documentation.
