- name: Install nginx
  hosts: host.name.ip
  become: true

  tasks:
  - name: Add epel-release repo
    yum:
      name: epel-release
      state: present

  - name: Install nginx
    yum:
      name: nginx
      state: present

  - name: Insert Index Page
    template:
      src: index.html
      dest: /usr/share/nginx/html/index.html

  - name: Start NGiNX
    service:
      name: nginx
      state: started

Hi, what should i change in the playbook to modify HTTP listening port to 8080 ?

Nothing.

However you must change the template files the playbook is referring to.

@Saviour
For Ubuntu. just change the yum to apt

what if we want to run on multiple inventory

Thank you very much
to start nginx automatically after restarting the server I think we need the folowing:

- name: Start NGiNX service: name: nginx enabled: yes state: started
