Nginx (verified role)

Verified wrapper around geerlingguy.nginx pinned at 3.3.0 plus an IaC Bazaar hardening overlay (server_tokens off, security headers, default-vhost removal); live-tested for idempotence and functionally verified: systemd unit active, HTTP 200, headers present, no version leak.

Documentation

nginx-hardened

Hardened nginx as a verified wrapper around the upstream open-source role geerlingguy.nginx, pinned to an exact version in requirements.yml and installed unmodified. On top of upstream, this role:

  • removes the default vhost and serves a single configurable vhost on port 80 (real content, so the live test asserts a genuine HTTP 200);
  • turns server_tokens off (no nginx version in the Server header or on error pages);
  • deploys /etc/nginx/conf.d/zz-hardening.conf with security headers (X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, plus any extras you define) — all configurable via nginx_hardened_* defaults;
  • validates the config (nginx -t) and reloads nginx via handlers on change.

Live-tested with podman (converge → idempotence → functional verify → destroy) on the Rocky Linux 10 image with real systemd. The verify stage asserts the systemd unit is active, the vhost answers 200 with our page, the security headers are present, and the Server header leaks no version.
