Manage custom directories about ansible-role-nginx-config HOT 3 CLOSED

I hear you. The role already innately manages new directories for proxy_temp_path, I could probably backport that functionality to other directives that involve creating new directories.

In the meantime, that's something you can already easily accomplish using pre-tasks or a task before you include the role (depends on whether you are using the legacy roles: or the newer include_roles: parameter).

@alessfg Not sure how to manage directory owner in that case. By default it should be owned by nginx user. Moving this to a pre-task will also involve moving of user management out of the role. Or I'm missing smth?

Creating the directory as root in pre-tasks: should work. NGINX will readjust permissions once the role reloads the config.
