Nginx

Nginx is an open source reverse proxy server for HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, POP3, and IMAP protocols, as well as a load balancer, HTTP cache, and a web server (origin server). The nginx project started with a strong focus on high concurrency, high performance and low memory usage.

Sample pillars
==============

Gitlab server setup

.. code-block:: yaml

    nginx:
      server:
