Documentation - example or discussion forum for proxy with straight ssl passthrough (maybe stream)

[HeneryH]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when ... I've been running reverse proxies and am finally getting better at the various configurations. Now I have a server behind the proxy that handles ssl itself on 443 so I need my reverse proxy to simply pass that connection through unchanged based on the server_name.

Problem = (either no example code) | (no community forum to ask questions) | (I really don't understand how to learn this myself from the source)

Describe the solution you'd like

A clear and concise description of what you want to happen. I think that the stream template is what I want. Can we get a sample of how to instantiate a server block for streams? Is there a forum to ask these types of questions?

Describe alternatives you've considered

A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

At a very basic/generic level, you can find sample playbooks under the molecule directory. If you are looking for a stream template, you can look at the example here https://github.com/nginxinc/ansible-role-nginx-config/blob/main/molecule/default/converge.yml#L488-L520.

Documentation is a (rather slow) WIP, but it's on the roadmap. For now, GitHub issues is the best place to ask configuration questions.

Hi, this should be adressed now...i have a working config with 0.3.3 which i wanted to update to 0.6.0. i now have a week into it, but cannot get it to work...

actually i dont get it. this is such a nice ansible role. but basically wasted, because i will avoid this now and write my configs again manually...

That is sad to hear! I totally understand your reasoning and I'll hopefully be able to create better documentation sometime in the near future. The "core" NGINX role is pretty much there in terms of docs/distinct scenarios showing various use cases. I hope to move onto this role shortly after.
