Nginx WWW Redirect 🌐

Description

Automates the creation of Nginx server blocks that redirect all www. subdomains to their non-www equivalents. Simple, idempotent, and SEO-friendly! 🚀

Overview

This role will: - Discover existing *.conf vhosts in your Nginx servers directory

- Filter domains with or without your DOMAIN_PRIMARY

- Generate redirect rules via the web-opt-rdr-domains role

- Optionally include a wildcard redirect template (experimental) ⭐️

- Clean up leftover configs when running in cleanup mode 🧹

All tasks are guarded by “run once” facts and MODE_CLEANUP flags to avoid unintended re-runs or stale files.

Purpose

Ensure that any request to www.example.com automatically and permanently redirects to https://example.com, improving user experience, SEO, and certificate management. 🎯

Features

• Auto-Discovery: Scans your Nginx servers directory for .conf files. 🔍

• Dynamic Redirects: Builds source: "www.domain" → target: "domain" mappings on the fly. 🔧

• Wildcard Redirect: Includes a templated wildcard server block for www.* domains (toggleable). ✨

• Cleanup Mode: Removes the wildcard config file when CERTBOT_FLAVOR is set to dedicated and MODE_CLEANUP is enabled. 🗑️

• Debug Output: Optional MODE_DEBUG gives detailed variable dumps for troubleshooting. 🐛
