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:
        enabled: true
        bind:
          address: '0.0.0.0'
          ports:
          - 80
        site:
          gitlab_domain:
            enabled: true
            type: gitlab
            name: domain
            ssl:
              enabled: true
              key: |
                -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
                ...
              cert: |
                xyz
              chain: |
                my_chain..
