This is a very simple Nginx configuration that utilizes Lua with the help of this custom Nginx image to randomly redirect you to an Episode of a given show
The scripts have a list of all espisodes of a given show, will randomly pick one for you and tell Nginx to respond with a 302 redirect to that episode.

- episodes// are the files containing links to episodes of the a show.
Files must contain 1 full
http(s)://...links per line and have no trailing line at the end of the file. - ansible/ and terraform/ are folders that contain deployment configuration.

an environment in AWS. In order to spin up an environment, execute the following in the terraform subdirectory
terraform init
terraform applyThe apply command will spit out a variable named public_dns. Take the variable and put
it in a file named hosts in the ansible subdirectory:
[aws]
<public_dns variable>
followed by the following commands in said subdirectory
ansible-playbook -i hosts setup_machines.yaml
ansible-playbook -i hosts deploy.yamlThe app should now be running and reachable under the dns name from earlier
